• To Conor's point #7, there is no value to bringing Armstrong back to warm the bench. If Dibbling has only played 62 minutes in 13 games this season, it's difficult to make a case for Armstrong. Contrast that with Ethan Nwanero 512 minutes, Myles Lewis-Skelly 463 minutes (off the bench), Rico Lewis 686. Even Estevao, with no EPL experience has played 341 minutes Those are all players from the top 3 in the EPL, teams that you might argue need to use the younger players less due to the size of their squads, but clearly see the value in them and tend to sub earlier.

• I think Moyes has to stop playing O'Brien at right-back because, after the initial flourish, his limitations are known to everyone now. It might be foolish to suggest Garner playing in the right-back position given our lack of bodies in midfield, but he has better positional awareness and attacking intent than O'Brien.A midfield 3 of Iroegbunam, Dewsbury-Hall and Dwight McNeil should provide defensive cover as well as ball distribution:PickfordGarner Tarkowski Keane MykolenkoIroegbunam Dewsbury-Hall McNeilNdiaye Barry GrealishSubs: Travers, O'Brien, Aznou, Alcaraz, Dibling, Beto...
