Berardi or Ayling at CB

[bathlad61]

With Cooper out for 5-6 weeks or so, the defence not exactly watertight, and some key matches coming thick & fast, whos"s the best option?
Berardi, always gives 100%, not a natural CB, but ok, but always a risk of the " red mist " appearing -
Ayling, has played CB, throughout career, but now, more of a RB, gives side some height-
Both have had long term injuries, which could be factor, if playing Sat / Tues etc, personally would go with Ayling at CB, with Berardi moving to RB.
MB could always give the impressive Struijk a run out, but more likely on bench.

Berardi all day long - he has played the role more frequently and should have a better idea of positioning for a CB. One of the grumbles people had about Ayling was him being caught out of position a few times last year.

If worried about height from set pieces. would put Costa on the LW replacing Harrison. Dallas RW and Ayling RWB

Agree with that leedsftw, although I feel beradi is always a breath away from a red card, I have also slated him previously for being hotheaded, so being a bit hypocritical by saying he should be in.

Berardi vs Matt Smith is going to be a joy to watch
