So why play him at 10 against a defensive block?

Because our managers rubbish. Ive though all along that he shouldnt play that position against a team that will sit back and allow us possession, but should be one of the first names on the sheet against the better teams as he excels against them.

Exactly. My heart sank when I saw he was starting along with Enzo and Caicedo against Sheff Utd. Can't understand why it's not obvious to Poch to play an attacker in those games. So frustrating.

True but what a telling indictment of a world cup winner and the most expensive player in the EPL.  Clearly whoever behind the scenes has been constructing the team from scouting reports and "data" has failed to recognize that when we play football there are other blokes on the pitch than just ours.

 
Still can't get over how much these two cost and how on the whole, they have been bang average most of the season.

Folk can blame Poch, for the way they are coached and the way we set up etc, but I'm sorry, if you're a good footballer, that would show - whoever the coach is, and these two have both been a massive disappointment.

 
Yes they have not been up to standards but i really think the injuries to Lavia and Ogkwuchu really messed up everything. Cant really rotate or try different formations or tactics in the midfield. The good news is they are still playing well when they play for their country.

I mean the greatest footballer to ever walk this earth looked bang average under the exact same manager.

 
Enzo having his op, Lesley back in team training, will we see him alongside Moises so Conor stays in the 10?

Caicedo is very good but you probably want to pair enzo with a physical monster. 

Or just do the trendy thing aka play back 3.

Most likely Caicedo + Connor in the middle. I reckon that duo is more balanced than the Caicedo + Enzo pairing

We've looked ok in previous games with Caicedo/Conor in the middle. Also been ok with Enzo/Conor. It is usually where we try to squeeze all 3 into mid that we look less impressive in that area. Not sure if we played many, if any games with just Enzo/Caicedo?

 
Spent almost 300M on 3 MFs, yet with half a dozen games to go in the season we still haven't figured out the best combination. Blame injury or bad luck, it's just pure incompetency from recruiting and  team management

Not defending Poch, but it’s hard to figure out the best combination of the three when one’s been out nearly the entire season.

By not playing our best presser up top doesn't mean we would have no pressing up top. Other players can press too, maybe not as well as Conor, but they can press well enough whilst also adding creativity and goal threat.

You are absolutely right. 

The key here is well enough. 

 
I’m going to go there, but 100% better side without the Enzo and Caicedo pairing,

It's not that controversial tbh, most people would agree. 

The pairing has been good in some of the big games we've played this season, but it's fallen apart for most games. 

We'll have to try and find a way to get Enzo and Caicedo to play well together in the midfield, I think they're both good players with a lot of potential, I'm not writing them off just yet.
