centre midfield

Parker for me is an automatic selection in CM and as captain.

Alongside Parker we have a choice: Kara, Sidwell and Boateng. All those three are not what I regard as 90 minute players. We are weak towards the end of matches, conceding goals, and Boateng of the three is good at protecting the back four and linking to midfield. I would start with Sidwell, and Boateng to replace him last part of matches if we need to protect a lead, or bring Kara on for Sidwell to provide a more attacking solution when we are needing to win.

I thought Boateng was more than decent last Saturday and we must have a fool of a manager as he substituted our best player on the pitch... Would start for me every game.
