I wouldn't... Not since pre-season and what's followed.... He's tuned out.
I'd bring on Skipp and add the extra man at DM.
I think we sometimes judge our young upstarts too soon. A lot on here and other blogs wrote off Kane when he first started getting in the team. I just can't help feeling Tanganga has been ill-used by us. He has had a few bad games but probably no more than Royal did at the start of last season, and he has had plenty of good performances.
Why would we be playing deep?

What happened with Moura at the end of last season should be a lesson for us. Yeah, he got his great goal in the end but we probably would have finished ahead of Villa or even Brighton if not for his incredible howlers.
In sport it's very easy to lose physical sharpness, literally a week of lazy eating and lack of exercise can leave you well off your previous level. Nevermind being out of the team for months, and heading out the door at the end of the season.
Jesus, based on what? Emerson as RCB and Davies as LCB is more likely especially if the opposition is of high quality.
I hope we're already lining up some decent backup.

Exactly what I've been saying. Just fucking put them in there, keep the ones that manage to make an impression, loan out the ones that don't. If they can come good again after that great, but there's no need to be so delicate about it.
We've had the likes of Harvey White and Tanganga, hanging around forever to no one's benefit.

Not to endorse Phillips' readiness, but the problems with those options are enormous.
I know that’s not our philosophy but if we’re facing a lot of crosses into the box then he’s a good option to have
Phillips is taller and probably a better athlete

Couldn't agree more sink or swim.
who would you start?
Dier and Phillips, personally. That's what I put in the Wolves OMT anyway.
It really would be brave to start him, but I think he's probably the only one who's got the pace to allow a seamless transition from VDV in the high line.
