It’s not really clear what Tanaka’s current status really is, dropped or rotated ? If he’s dropped he may well feel a little miffed, but the result and performance on Thursday spoke for itself. We’ll get a bit more clarity when the team sheet is revealed on Sunday. If Tanaka’s not in the team he’s been dropped, simple as that. I’m struggling to see where he comes back into the team tbh. Looks like Ampadu is back for sure, which means Tanaka’s reintroduction would either mean shifting Rothwell and dropping/rotating Aaronson, or dropping/rotating Rothwell. For me Rothwell stays in the team, he’s the dead ball specialist and gives the team great balance. If Aaronson is what we call the “number 10”, I don’t see Rothwell moving up and taking his place, it’s a totally different position and he’s a totally different player. It will be very interesting to see who is dropped/rotated, but this is why Farke is paid the big money.

[quote="tad rhino":2pwk5tqu]did I mention the inbred hull scum with Turkish flags. threatened to get out of hand big style[/quote:2pwk5tqu] They are scum, and they know it will provoke a response. Not sure they are actually committing an offence by waving a national flag, and that’s why they push their luck. I recently reported a lad to the manager at my gym for walking around with a Free Palestine sweatshirt with a massive flag on the front. He told me he wouldn’t be doing anything immediately because no actual offence had been committed. He then told me the rememberance poppy I was wearing could be offensive to some people, in other words, live and let live. I told him it was the most ridiculous comparison he could make and after some toing and froing left with the understanding he would have a word with the lad at a later date and try to reason with him. A few years back the lad with the Turkish flag would have been noted and ended up with a different shaped nose outside the ground.

plenty tried to get at him and I wish they had. stewards and police didnt want to know.
