This is the third shout I’ve seen for Skelly to play in midfield in here. Not sure if all 3 were @Pires and @Electrifying .
Are we taking the piss here?
Not only has MLS not looked his best this season, we’ll start him in midfield for the first time in a long time in a very important away game?
Will it kill us if our midfield looks shit for 45 mins and then we change him if it doesn’t work? As if we looked great all this time.
He’ll ruin our rhythm and fluency.
I know it’s strange to ask for his start after not playing much this season, but I’m just tired of this same team, and Rice contantly has some issues lately… It won’t kill him if he doesn’t start for once.
Although, yeah, thinking about it, Skelly alone isn’t such an issue, but starting him and Saka together in midfield might be a bit much. If he would play there, one of the more experienced 10s/8s would have to be alongside him.
