I think his legs, his legs in midfield, his experience.
You also know that he can drop back in.
He knows how to play in a low block.
He has the physicality and the physical prowess for that.
But also when the balls get flung up to Troy,
he's that one player that can chew up that 30 yards and get in contact with him because he has that ability.
I've watched him play a lot.
He reads that ball and as it's in the air, he's on his bike and he does chew up that ground.
He's a strong, powerful runner.
So, yeah, I think that's a nice midfield two for me there.
And again, there's enough experience in it.
Obviously, Troy up top.
I would probably go with...
Chidozie as well I mean this is ultimately probably going to be a 5-4-1 so you need to be able to transition out of that and I think Chidozie is perfect for that I was talking about the quality service that needs to be able to try almost on his chest or good with Chidozie he's getting in a general area you know and I trust me Gary's probably saying we love playing with those players yeah
Yeah, they make a bad ball look good.
Yeah, you've got a 30 by 30 and as long as you get it in that, you know, you make something of it, you know, and all of a sudden that's a great ball.
So I think Chidozie gives you that ability and listen, I said this before, I think a lot of those players would have, even if they're not playing at their club, they would have been well aware of this fixture on the horizon and if they're not playing, they would have been speaking to the conditioning staff at their clubs, you know, so they'll be ready.
The question is, can we afford to carry somebody who's, you know, all the negative attributes you're saying there, and then all of a sudden for that moment in 88 minutes, could you be two or three in the down because he's been turned the ball over, we've been counter-attacked.
So I think what Joe's saying there is salient.
Like, if the game you need to drop him back, you can bring him on.
