Gary Medels position

Sat Nov 16, 2013 10:01 am

Was watching the England v Chile match last night , Gary medel was quality as a central defender . He Had Rooney in his pocket all match , made himself available and pretty much did what he does for city just from the central defence position .

Maybe we should utilise him there next to Caulker instead of the defensive midfield position , not that turner has done much wrong but his long balls invite pressure on us , with medel sat there passing his way out of defence the dynamic of our whole team could change .
That would then free up a apace in the team for a playmaker like kimbo to come back in !

Any thoughts ?

I can see your point as every attacking move they made came form Gary's passes out of defence. However, I can't ever see Malky playing a 5 foot 7 centre half against the likes of Crouch, Carroll etc. and to be honest Turner deserves his place in the team at present.

Go and get Izaguirre (dodgy spelling)

Play Caulker Medel Turner with French Kev and Izaguirre as wing backs...
