What a predicament Redschnapps finds himself in. In recent weeks Nico Kranjcar has been simply phenomenal. When he is playing like this he's just about the complete midfielder, quick on the ball, hard to dispossess, sublime passing, cutting through balls, silky tricks, hard work, tough tackling, tracking back, scoring goals (and what a goal that second one was). The boy has demonstrated every one of these qualities - I think there's a good arguement to suggest he's been our best player in something like 4 of the last 5 games. Talent and consistency - God help us!Old 'Arry has come out singing his praises on numerous occasions, the end result must surely be that Krancjar is undroppable. With Modders on the brink of a full return, is someone set for disappointment? I thought Modric had a cracking cameo against Wolves and looked, from my lofty position in corporate hospitality (which was bloody brilliant by the way), like he was taking up a central position.
However, while I think this is probably his best position, it's no secret that Redknapp likes two strong fellas in the middle. Huddlestone and Wilson have developed a good partnership, and Harry doesn't look like dropping either of them any time soon. But can Kranjcar really keep Modric on the bench for much longer? Lennon, Palacious, Kranjcar, Modric. I think we'd score at least 5 every time we play! But is it too lightweight?
I don't know the answer, but I'm posing the question. How can you accommodate someone in Kranners' form and someone of Modders' ability - and does the answer spell the end for Jenas and/or bench time for The Incredible Hudd?
