The People's Forum: If McNeil plays 10, you'd have Alcaraz and KDH as your two deeper-lying mids? nt.

with McNeil coming in for Tim. McNeil playing as the 10.

Keane could come back in. But that was Tarks best game this season, alongside Jake, who looked very assured. Tarks is clearly better with pace alongside him. There was a moment in the second half were a ball was played through to Semenyo and Jake go to it before him. He's quick for a big lad. If that had been Keane in that position we might've been in trouble.

Surely Moyes wont change the defence

his hand was forced to a large degree, but still.
Playing players in their best positions often turns out to be effective. Who'd have thunk it?

Was enjoyable to watch, if a bit short on cutting edge, agree that with Alcaraz on the pitch we look more likely to score though.

Now the only thing is, with Tim suspended the temptation will be to move Garner back into midfield, presuming Keane is fit for Saturday.

Either way, I hope KDH and Alcaraz play the same roles from the start against Forest.

I know some people don't rate him because the manager doesn't pick him unless he absolutely has too, but there's no denying his impact. Things happen when he's on the pitch. It was no near Charly's best game last night, but we don't get 3 points without him. He played the ball to Jack for his goal. He played the ball through to Barry, when he was through and he unfortunately couldn't get it over the keeper. He chased their keeper down who was forced to kick out by the corner flag. He linked up really well with Tim and KDH. He lost possession a few times and gave away a couple of free kicks. And he could've made better decisions a couple of times. But the team is so much better with him in it. He just seems to be one of those players whose sheer presence just results in opportunities.
