If Vert plays Wednesday I will be surprised. I want to see Foyth developed but might be too soon since his recovery to play him.

I remember one of the first games I saw Vert play. He surged forward into the box Ricky Villa esque and scored. I posted at the time.....that ain't no centre back. Of course he is, but he sure can play and I'm not sure we have utilised those skills to max potential. Has he played CM before ? Sorry to divert the thread but not worth starting a new one really.
You don't divert your best players, you rest them. If Vert is out of position and you need to play his replacement at LCB, those are 2 positions you just compromised.
Well there's a question....would Vert be better than Dier sitting in front of the back 4 ? His passing is as good if not better and his reading of the game.
Yeah probably right, until he gets a rush of blood and goes on one of his runs to burn off some energy. I get the impression he does it when he is not impressed with what's going on with our attack.Probably. He would have been a top class DM. I get the impression Verts doesn't want to run around much though, a reason why he opted for CB as his number 1 position in his younger days.

I would have used Amos this season instead of playing Dier but Poch clearly doesn't think he is ready.
Wana has a long term problem with his knee. I reckon he will need surgery.
With Dier being out of form for 2 years, Dembele on his last legs, Sissoko injured, it's easy to see why some are suggesting maybe try Sanchez there for a short period of time.
I like it when Vert surges forward. He can play. I remember a fun question asked to one of our youngsters....who's the club's most skilful player....the answer was Verts.
