Do we think Klich is carrying an injury and we are trying to nurse him through the season?

Dallas is crap at cm, lacks the technical ability, cant imagine any other reason MB would play Dallas at cm instead of Klich.

Given the amount of games Klich has played his fitness was always going to suffer eventually.

No, Dallas starts whatever the circumstances. No real point having Klich on the bench, he's not going to offer much as he's a slow to get into games player...

My worry is that Bamford depends on Klich so much to bring him into the game.

Do you think?

I know MB loves Dallas for some reason but over Klich in cm?

Surely not without good reason :(

Cooper will neee to keep his hzmds to himself today, he was fortunate on Tuesday a couple of times his wrestling with their forwards wasnt penalised.

Klich is twice the player Dallas is in midfield imo...but obviously MB sees Dallas as the player now for that position and basically 2 4's with no 8 or 10 on the pitch...

Yep, Bamford worse than useless when we attack down the flanks. He's made his living feeding off Klich and Pablo's creativity over the last two years.

Dallas might be in to do a specific job?

Aside from giving away silly fouls (not the only one) he’s a very disciplined player.

If Klich isn’t fit I’d have given the 8 role to Shackleton and played Dallas at left back.

Alioski is fine against the West Brom and Newcastle type sides but not really against CL contenders like Leicester.
