He's excellent off the time due to his energy and his ability to play a solid attack role or defensive role. Whether you are winning or losing a game he would be excellent to introduce. If he started tonight I think he would have been fairly poor and struggled against Saints pressing. Once they were tired it was the ideal situation for him.

Augme wrote: » I agree with that. I don't think there is much in it between Henderson, gini and milner in terms of ability. They are all on a very similar level. Fabinho is one who is above all 3 and should be a guranteed starter. I'd have Henderson on the bench because he can make an excellent impact off the bench unlike the other two.
~Rebel~ wrote: » It's not his best position, but he's been a fairly excellent 6. The problem has been that if he's 6, since Can left there's no-one to drive through midfield. It's what we thought Keita would do, but hasn't yet. But he was our 6 week in week out for the first half of the season when we had conceded 7 goals in 16 or so games. If anything, I'd say the discipline he showed in that role is what has gotten him most of his abuse... sitting in that spot at base of the midfield as an outball, switching play with his "sideways passes". They weren't pretty to look at, but he made bloody sure we kept the ball, and kept pushing that pressure on. He was always the one dictating where the defensive line began, never letting space open up for the opposition, so it became a constant ever-tightening screw pushing them deeper and deeper. Yeah, I can see that alright, though i'd say Milner has been pretty effective off the bench plenty of times. I'd nearly just swap them out for each other game by game, since it's a high-intensity role usually, and it preserves their legs. Gini is just a different thing altogether, I wouldn't put him in with Milner and Hendo... Gini offers something they don't - the ability to take the ball under pressure and turn his man and find a more attacking pass. He's a great man for turning defence to attack very quickly, and relieving the pressure of an opposition press. Ideally i'd see our midfield 3 as;Fabinho - the breaker, and builder at 6. Calming things down, stopping attacks, and looking for the simple ball where it's there, but with the ability to pick out a defence splitter from 40 yards too.Gini - the fulcrum who hangs around 10 yards further than Fab, back to their goal, always available to take the ball and turn, or else drawing in a man and playing a simple pass back to Fabs feet to play a longer ball into the vacated space.Henderson/Milner - The runner, all action player that harries off the ball, and pushes forward on the ball. Covers defensively for a fullback who's pushed on, and provides an option wide for a winger who's come inside.
