    Should convert him to a right-mid, play Lustig at right-back.

    Such a good player but so is Lustig. I really want to move one of them to LB to replace Izzy.

    I'm certain he'll start Wednesday,he just has to.

    Really hope he stays here long term.

    Have either of them played at left back before?

    Genuine question, it would be great if one (or even both) of them were capable of filling in there when Izzy was injured or under-performing.

    I think Matthews played there against Barca and was good.

    Yes, Matthews has a few times and each time he's played class.

    Played very well today and took his goal well. I'd play him at LB on Wednesday...

    I'd start him on the right wing midweek without hesitation.

    Him and Lustig down the right certainly would be a handful!

    Without a doubt, he's a better right winger than Forrest I think. Can make things happen when he comes in off the wing.

    I loved how delighted Lustig was for Matthews today when he scored. I'd play them both on Wednesday. Matthews could be a huge threat to them from right midfield I think.

    I for one am totally amazed no-one has come in for Matthews yet. Has the potential to be the best of the multitude of signings we've made in the last few years. And I include Wanyama and Hooper in that.
    Phenomenally good player already, basically no huge flaws in his game and he's only what, 21?

    Cardiff fans must be absolutely sick they let him go for free, and they'll be even more raging when we sell him for 30 mill in 5 years time.

    Such a shame we've got 2 brilliant players at right back yet not one good left back or striker :56::54:

    I'd have Matthews and Lustig playing. Need power and strength. They might not be the biggest, but Forrest is injured and tbh, Matthews is always up there anyway. He'd work well with an attacking FB like Lustig.

    i tend to agree. matthews has looked our best right winger lately since forest's form has tailed off (sciatica related?)
