Terrible news but here’s an answer for missing Dec
Declan will be missing tonight and the worst possible scenario is that he could be out for the season although that is considered unlikely.
We are finally paying the price of a gamble which was always going to be a loser in the long run – relying on the continued fitness of the boy wonder and Tomas.
You wonder what the hell will happen if anything happens to the Czech master – sorry don’t even want to think about it.
Let’s for now simply think about tonight although it’s hard because many of us were screaming out for midfield cover back in the summer.
Now we are in the worst possible trouble with only Mark Noble – WHO IS NOT THE ANSWER NOW OR LATER – available as a recognised midfielder.
So where does Moyes go to answer what in reality is a nEAR unanswerable question.
Some have suggested Issa Diop in midfield with Tomas but for me the only serious solution would be to put Vladi Coufal in there with his mate.
He can defend and knows how to get forward – gotta be worth a try hasn’t it and allowing Ben Johnson to return to his favoured position at right back.
So here’s my team for a highly critical game: Fab; Johnson, Diop, Dawson Cresswell; Bowen, Soucek, Coufal, Lingard, Fornals, Antonio.
Looks a good enough team to beat an out of touch Wolves!
