Agree Unai seemed to get it wrong today. He had options and decided on Bailey and Sancho.

Playing SJM out wide on the right again despite it never working in the past. Unai needs to stop with this nonsense especially when Youri and Bogarde are not having much fun. Oh and the laws state it's allowed to make subs at half time. I assume we're paying Tammy by the minute and trying to save some money.

McGinn's best position is on the right

But not hogging the touchline. The more central he is the more control we have of the midfield, something we struggle to do when he's played there.

Think he was just sluggish today. Was that him that played Ollie through in second half? Credit to Fulham Cash/McGinn have been crucifying teams of late on that flank but Fulham dominated there today. Id have put McGinn into the centre at half time, mind.

No shit, Sherlock.

What’s that meant to mean? You just made the comment that it never works. Well clearly it does

Correct. I think we could probably do with him in the middle from now on though, if Onana’s out.

Edit: changed my mind now thinking about it. Probably needs to support Cash against Williams on Thursday.

Yeah, McGinn on the right clearly works. It’s where McGinn works best. Just didn’t yesterday for some reason. Was unable to pin Sessegnon back.
