The booking was just ridiclous. I've no idea why Footy has a thing for players getting booked. It's a bit odd although yes, he does get too many.

I really hope we play three in midfielders from now on and obsess with having a ten.We will have to switch/swap Ings and Watkins to make this work but I think it will be worth it.As I've said before, Smith wants midfielders who can sit, pass, tackle, play and score. Hence his apparent lack of interest in a world-class DMF.McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey, Sanson, Chukwuemeka and Buendia can do all these things (although, based on tonight, MacPhee needs to help Ramsey and Luiz in shooting practice).Marv is a tactical player, brought in to shut things down ... which is why I was surprised to see him come on tonight.In which case I agree with Smith but it only works if three are playing othewise you’re in a situation where you need at least one DMC.

It's tricky...
What's this Chelsea abuse thing of McGinn that's being investigated?
