Interesting seeing you put JJ in starting XI, moving Chara to a more Winger position. Personally I’d have Chara back at CDM with Zemanski getting the start at RM.Good things happen when hes in the lineup I think.

This is after the match, obviously, but I’m just getting caught up on my reading. In a 4-4-2 diamond, the two “outside” midfielders aren’t wingers, as they play more centrally.
Your comment about wanting Zemanski in the lineup was prescient…

Thats true about outside mids, but it seems with Porter he uses the outside mids as a winger. Or a hybrid winger/mid. I may be wrong though. I did not like JJ in the starting lineup. I think he was the reason why our midfield play had no shape. I think that (jj) had a lot of reason why chara had possibly his worst game as a timber. Chara looked lost.
