KEA or Sylla?

Sylla

[supertom]

Also, Syllas physical presence can stop us getting somewhat bullied against certain teams. Westwood isn't a physical player. Delph's full of energy but his tackling is always a worry and he's only about 5ft9 too. In addition, Sylla can be useful for defending set pieces too because of his height.

I think we need a midfield three, and Sylla is more suited as that third man than KEA as he brings something different to the group. KEA is tidy on the ball but I see him as cover/competition/replacement for Westwood, or Delph - sitting fairly centrally, making short passes. He's not comfortable moving into wider areas.

Sylla is more dynamic, athletic, up and down. Disrupts opposing midfields. I'd have him in v Norwich, on the right side of a midfield three, and if not him, Bacuna. Bit of athleticism and pace wouldn't go amiss, doubling up (with Lowton) on Redmond, who'll be a threat on their left wing.

 Both , drop Westwood.

We need Sylla playing as DM. Thus the question should be KEA or Westwood. On current season's form it has to be KEA.

If we had KEA and Sylla and dropped Westwood I'd have KEA in DM and Sylla further forward, I think Sylla would be wasted sitting in front of the back 4, the guy has a great engine and can cover a lot of ground so I wouldn't want to see him restricted like that.

Don't drop Westwwod just yet. But, do play Sylla alongside for a run of games.

[Clampy]

Sylla in for KEA.

This argument would only be valid if we had somebody else capable to occupy the DM role. Westwood is just shambolic defensively and I'm not sure I've seen a DM offer as little as he does off the ball. Besides we already have Delph who covers lots of ground.

Momo Sissoko on a free please.

Ahmadi reminds me of Ireland,anonymous but w
ith a better attitude.Has Sylla upset Lambert as he's hardly figured at all?

[gervilla]

KEA out, Sylla in.

I think Sylla alongside Westwood allows Westwood a bit more time and space, neither of which he has had so far this season which suggests his form has been less impressive than at the end of last season.

Really? I don't remember Sylla playing that role. He was little more forward and centre right. However I do agree that he made a difference in the last 10 games.
