Missing Men - vs Arsenal 2008

I don't know if this got posted before, but I couldn't find it in a quick search.  I know a few people enjoy these, so ...

For the life of me I couldn't guess the left back ...

Gave up due to the left back and seven letter midfielder. I'd never have got them either. For the midfielder I forgot he'd ever played for us and I'd never thought the left back was selected there. Bloody O'Neill.

I had to give up on the left back too. Really did he play him there? Well we won so we must have been happy at the time.

Ok now I've seen it and done it.  7 letter midfielder was easy he played well during that run, however they have the defenders all mixed up, right back should be left back, left centre half was right back and left back was centre half.  Easy mistake to make, was a MON defence after all!!

He would have played the five letter full back at left back and the other centre back at right back.

2:10 - Sidwell was tricky one

Cuellar played right back and L Young at left back.

I remembered the midfielder as he set up the Gabby goal with a grand long ball.

The left back is a trick as I typed him and Cuellar the other way round about 20 times before getting it. He played central and Cuellar right back. Very poor the way they put that together.

My mind went blank on three of the defenders. I remember the game though, the 6 lettered centre half had a belting game.

7 minutes 6. The back four had me stumped. A 7 letter defender in the wrong position

But not quite as poor as the way the manager put the team together!
