Williams was excellent vs Bournemouth

But honestly I'd have started Dimi today (but certainly would have played Kenny) - I thought it was a bit harsh the feedback he got against Man City, who are one of the best clubs on the planet; I think he's better than most do, or the ones that matter do, but I see Williams as great cover for him and Max, who to me are our best fullbacks.

The real conundrum for me: Todd is a £35m+ player but I'd rather have seen Tziolis today, if fit. That position in a 4-3-3 doesn't suit Todd's many and undoubted strengths. He's one of our very best players, but I feel a tension between that and the way we're playing at the start of this season.
