    Jbg

    Noticeable by his absence on the field again

    How has he started in-front of others it’s beyond me - do not get his inclusion at all.

    I do think Benson is an impact player and the physicality is an issue for him , however still a very good player.

    I’m not understanding though how Larson for example or Tresor who came on don’t start in front of Johan , he should be a fill in substitute at this level , unless he proves me otherwise.

    But based on the notion I’ve watched him for several years he goes missing in games A lot , that’s not to say he doesn’t have talent - he just uses for 10-15 mins at most in games.

    Agree completely Army but why not bring on Benson in the last 15-20 minutes.He was a game changer last season.

    I'm not at all convinced Kompany knows what he is doing.

    Taylor showed last night the number 3 shirt should be his by right.

    How Trafford is getting the nod ahead of Muric is beyond me.

    Brownhill should be first name on the team sheet.

    We have Benson, Zaroury, Larsen, Redmond all fit and raring to go but he chooses a past his sell by date Gudmundsson ahead of them.

    Kompany's team selection is fast becoming a curate's egg, Amdouni, Foster & Koleosho all showing well but other parts are awfully bad.

    I'm perplexed, I really am.

    'We have Benson, Zaroury, Larsen, Redmond all fit and raring to go but he chooses a past his sell by date Gudmundsson ahead of them'

    JBG just a bit more solid and with EPL experience, and for me it was correct to start him. I don't think we'll see too much of him from now but good squad member. Tresor showed fleeting glimpses or real quality, exciting. Trafford played well, nothing he could do to keep that one out, but he made a great attempt to reach it.
    Now the window has shut Brownhill and Taylor can play. Back four looks good enough, midfield pairing of Cullen and Josh good enough. Up front we have so much to be excited about. Our 19yo winger taking a world cup winning full back to the cleaners like that, wow. Foster looks like a player to me, has the beating of defenders, and I love watching the way he does that.

    I’d take Larson in front of JBG anyday of the week - 30 goals for Dortmund - Anderlect and Denmark tells me he had far more about him than Johan.
    For me we just start a man down when he plays for big parts of the game - he’s good at hiding

    Two goalies wouldn’t have stopped CHO equaliser for Forest. Further to my previous post on last nights game, I notice that none of the Forest players were protesting about the so called Berge hand-ball. They obviously thought there was nothing wrong with it.
