I don't think Chadli has shown he has all the tools? He's tall but looks a bit of a ***** to me. A typical wide player who gets the ball wide and lays it back to the full back.
Today we'll see hopefully what he's about, because I'd rather have Siggy or Holtby on the pitch today.
I'd rather Lamela over all of them, but for various reasons we wont play him.

You have to think whether he might go back to Italy. Maybe a part cash swap deal. Either that or TS wants to bring him in slowly. But to me I think we want to cut our losses on the 30m and TS doesn't think he's worth that money. Hence if we can part swap him we may. All speculation of course. We may see Lamela rip up the Europa and force his way into the team...

He finally got my present!
We'll see what your present does in regards to our performance.
He's not really a handful for defenders at all because he doesn't put himself about, work hard or use his size. Doesn't use his size at all if you ask me

I can see what TS is trying to do here. High tempo, high pressing start and bring fresh legs Solly in later against a tiring team and hope he gets a goal like Defoe did last week against Palace. I suspected something like this after I saw TS singing Solly's praises in the Daily Mirror today.

Based on how he has used him recently and his comments in the press, I think that it is likely that Chadli will play behind Ade and the rest of midfield will line up as normal. It's just Ade for Soldado and Chadli for Ade.

Lamela's injured?

Well he hasn't had many opportunities. But there were some indications - headers from set pieces that were not far off. Some decent runs with the ball - once someone of his size starts motoring and running at defenders they can terrorise - see one Gareth Bale who started off pretty shy as well. And he can shoot. From the little we've seen, he looks to have a more potent shot on him than say Lennon.
Is he? Thought he had recovered. Fair enough if so!

Could be - like ive always said, its about instructions really but I do think Chadli will come infield if Lennon has the ball and vice versa. Ade will need to hold the ball up for Erikssen to get in good positions too.
Will be interesting.
How has he not had opportunities?!? He's had a lot of game time this year!
In terms of running at defenders, him and Bale are very different. Bale goes past players, whereas Chadli plays in front of him and tries to cross the ball rather than beat his man. Will be interesting to see him centrally as he doesn't look like a top half of the PL winger to me; can see him being a squad player but remain unconvinced that he'll ever be a regular starter
Lennon's finishing is weak so not really a great comparison!!

What can we read into the formation? My take is that with the youth teams playing 'progressive' formations we were probably always going to switch to a 433.
The basic 442 was probably a short term measure due to lack of training ground time. Whilst we still had the tried and tested Defoe on our books, the best early way to utilise the squad was to play two up, with Defoe a reliable fall back.
Now Defoe is off, we only play the one up, plus the make up of the squad dictates really that we need to use formations that suit number 10's, so we have finally changed our formation.
If I'm being really positive i'd say were looking at Chadli today before Lamela comes back and starts coming into the set up in an appropriate formation.
I'm going to be super positive and say Chadli obviously has something; Belgian international, scored one in four for Twente and today he is being deployed in his favoured position. He's obviously been training well and so maybe this nippy yet big Belgian international will take his chance today.
Posittivity. I'm going to give it a go.

I would be very pleased to see the three of them interchange
