Okay let's say he did for that game - before he got sent off - still think u can get away with it at a field but soton is a different kettle of fish. We need to carry a threat. Kouyate vs Rice is two v different players.

No goose - he definitely played further forward in that game, and quite a few others around then. I distinctly remember him commenting on it when interviewed after the game. He also scored one of his rare goals from open play in that one.

At Liverpool it was him, obiang and kouyate. The later of the 3 was playing further fwd from my (drunk) memory.
If it is the 3 discussed it's basically us playing for a draw.

Not sure I agree, goose. Defending, he has a tendency to ball-watch and some of his tackling is straight out of the Paul Scholes manual. Going forward, he can at least pick a pass. I seem to remember he had quite a good spell playing further forward a couple of years ago, e.g. in the 3-0 win at Liverpool.

That would have to be the most negative midfield 3 we've ever played!
Noble is worse going forward than he is defending!

Very interesting if true. He will either replace Obiang, who had a poor game last week. Or as someone has already suggested, Noble could be played further forward and Ayew would be dropped.
I said a few weeks ago that I expect Rice to break through this season and become an indispensable member of the first team, but I didn't expect it to happen this quickly. Let's see...

Noble slightly forward of Obiang/Rice? I can see that as the three.

I read a rumour he was starting. If true I'm assuming he will play as a holding midfielder? So noble or obiang gets the elbow?
Can't see noble, rice & obiang all starting??

Absolutely, in a three at the back and he should stay there
He Burke and Oxford ought be the forefront of CB consideration

Yes, for Fernandes. I reckon some kind of flexible 4-3-3, Noble slightly forward of Obiang/Rice holding.

Probably not but he should get some time off the bench. Surely only a matter of time until he becomes undropable. Would also like to see Haksabanovic brought on if Ayew is as ineffective as usual.

If Grandad is a 12 year old boy Rice is a nailed-on starter...
