The match didn't matter. The player looked lively, was a bright spark in a first half where something was off in the balance of the side. He got taken off at half time to redress that balance and maybe also to give him a rest ahead of a PL match at the weekend.

I don't see the need for strong opinions either way in this instance.

Imo we suffer from a lack of through balls and a lack of diagonal runs.

I would love to see our front players swap and change as they dart left and right looking for the opportunities to run onto perfect throughball. But we'd give away possession over and over with not every throughball being perfect and many runs being too soon resulting in countless offsides.

But if we found a balance, I think you'd see all the front players thrive (especially Grealish and Alvarez).

Alternatively I'd love too see Grealish tried in the middle so he could run through directly (and be fouled).

Basically I guess I'm saying that going around the sides often makes Grealish (and most others) look static. And I miss Yaya. :-)

I think introducing the changes you suggest would elevate us from mid table security certainly, but we would need a coach with a different philosophy-;)

Played very well yesterday. Gutted to see him yanked but hopefully he gets this weekend as well.

I sometimes watch and think , what if, or try that. Then I come to my senses and think we got Pep.

Same here. He just went off tactically and I think Dias was the issue first half last night. In the absence of Rodri coming to pick the ball up off him he was very slow and ponderous bringing it out and it fucked us up

Dias didn't have anyone to give the ball to first half. Lewis was tucked in and not really offering himself for the ball. Mahrez and Palmer didn't quite grasp the system. When Mahrez did get the ball he couldn't do much more than go back to Dias. The left side was more structured and more successful. Rodri came on and enabled Lewis to be a more traditional RB which gave Dias options and just gave us more balance in general.
