In today's Metro poll: 77% say drop Ferdinand

[Midgeyboy]

This regarding the fact that Ned's not been as good as Clint. Or the Landlord or Nelsen. He is way overrated by many on here. He should replace Anton, however. In a back three of Caulker, Onouha and Hill.

Gotta say "Anton" is still making me chuckle. Keep it up.

Remind me how that worked v Spurs?

As others have pointed out it was the landlord on the left in that game. And he was more or less our worst player that game, as in the Hull game where the formation looked decent, landlord aside.

But who knows? Maybe Clint has refused to play cb in a back three?

I would drop Ferdinand and give Onuoha a chance.

Given the lack of fit central midfielders perhaps Ferdinand could then play as a defensive CM or just leave him on the bench.

ferdinand doesnt have the mobility to play as a defensive midfielder, has the world gone mad?

Ferdinand doesn't have the mobility to play as a defender either.

Talked a good game during the world cup though......

Maybe not, but he would be of far more use in front of the back four than in it!

I said perhaps play in CM given the shortage of CMs, which means if Sandro, Barton, Fer and Henry are not available to play then Ferdinand could play there behind the likes of Mutch (if fit), Krancjar & Taarabt. He wouldn't have to be very mobile as he would virtually be playing in an area from the 'D' to the centre circle. Although overall, I'd prefer him to be benched.
