£8m well spent on 'the lad from Ajax' then? Who knows he's only played one game. Young and apparently talented who can play center back left back and defensive midfield. Many players take time to settle in the Prem. Not sure why we'd write him off just yet. If Fosu-Mensah had gifted Swansea a goal like he nearly did would we write him off too?

To be completely honest, the team (when fit) picks itself! On paper we are a mid table side but when you start experimenting and asking players do play a way which they aren't comfortable with suddenly we can be in a relegation dog fight. Also, when playing 3-5-2, your wing backs become arguably the most important outfield players as they are key to attacking and also defending. We don't have a natural right wing back which causes huge problems! We need to setup to frustrate teams and be able to go away from home and be tough to beat, grind results out. Hope we see this before it's too late!

With Sakho at the back and Cabaye in midfield, we might actually be able to pass it out a bit. Going 5 at the back will just continue the chaos... Don't jump the gun, can Mangala pass the ball.
