Perhaps?
Proves what a stupid stupid decision it was to play Lennon. Lucky that Ade has been fit enough to play today considering he played 120 minutes on a return from injury. Walker deserves to be dropped. Great to see Dempsey back too, we've missed him in my opinion and also great to see Carroll on the bench.

vertonghen with a more advanced role?
if he didnt come on we might be out of europe now.
Ekotto left midfield, finally deserved.
I actually think its a very intelligent move, and i think its more to accommodate Vertonghen at LB.I cant see him being very effective there tbh. He's a decent passer and comfortable in possession but he hasnt got any cutting edge. He isnt gonna create much imo.
I think it's 3-5-2 and Benny and Naughton pretty much pushed right up.
He isnt playing in midfield, he's playing at LBWhy play our best defender in midfield?
I'm not sure today is the right time to be trying this brick out. This could be a master stroke or a unmitigated disaster. Either way it is a gamble IMHO.
