Tom, I've just seen you comments about Estavou not working hard enough. I disagree he tracks back as much as any of our forwards. I accept though he is not wingback material. That position is usually filled by fullbacks with pace or wingers who are average performers in their original position.

I can't see how we can play Estavao in anything other than a 433 and then he would have to take the place of either Roger's, Palmer or Neto and I can't see that happening.
You are obviously seeing a different Estavao to me. He is full of tricks and flicks but I haven't seen him tracking back. I love him as a player and he could be another Hazard but when we had Hazard, we didn't have two players like Palmer and Roger's in the team.
The manager gets paid the big bucks to make choices and sometimes those choices are hard on talented players.
