Our play was turgid before the arrival of Nunes. The answer is, therefore, obvious.It's patently obvious to me that one of them has to make way.Our play is turgid and slow with them both in midfield.
For me, Moutinho must make way and let nunes try and get us up the pitch quicker.
Under a competent managerNeves nunes traore
Would be one of the best midfields in the league
I could support Mouts as a stop gap manager if Jeff cannot persuade top drawer available managers to take the job.Let Nunes play and let Moutinho manage the team, can't be any worse than what we got currently
Now Costa seems ready to go and perhaps Neto is injured this has to be the go to 11 imo. If we can get a run of games without injuries Lage (or whoever) needs to stick to an 11 and get them playing together. Watching yesterday I had no idea what our formation was, who was meant to be playing where; it was shambolic. It does not help that the players, bar Neves, don't seem to give a **** and certainly are not playing for their manager. Watching Newcastle yesterday playing with a freedom and flair (admittedly v 10 men) just shows what a decent manager can do with a team that imo is of no better quality than ours.This might be more one sided than Bruno in or out!
Moutinho was good v spurs but he's been poop this season.
I'd go

Collins/whoever
Semedo
Neves

Bingo. Nail on headOn Moutinho, Cesc Fabregas has achieved more in his career, is a year younger and currently playing with Patrick Cutrone in Serie B. The pace we play at is to get the best out of Mouts and nobody else. It was time to start moving on 2 and a half years ago.
