Theyre mental over Utd for some reason. Think I told you about when I went to Man City v Chelsea and all these Chinese blokes got on a wall to have their picture taken wearing Man Utd shirts - the next thing they were getting spat at and punched by a load of City fans. Not nice, but how stupid ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nice, but how stupid ?? 2012 charity shield at Villa wasn't it ?. They are the most popular English team round the world Liverpool second in Ireland I would say about 80% of people support either one of them. Chelsea are popular in the North amongst the Orangemen but in the South hardly anyone. I still maintain that the Chinese had a lot to do with VAR coming in because of massive betting syndicates losing money over dodgy goals.

The last one before last year was when Exeter went to Old Trafford and got a 0-0 in i think 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I know this is the wrong place but I can't find the correct place OK so assuming we get Havertz, and we've got Zyech and Werner. What positions do they play? will they all be playing in the same side? what formation do they prefer to play in? Hoping we get a decent keeper and CB and LWB. What is our team going to look like against Brighton? Answer these! i've got more questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What positions do they play? will they all be playing in the same side? what formation do they prefer to play in? Hoping we get a decent keeper and CB and LWB. What our team going to look like against Brighton? Werner works best in a 442 next to a target man. He can play lone striker in almost any system but is less effective there cos his passing is quite average and he does not really help the build up play. He is better receiving the ball i to his foot deeper on the left or playing off the shoulder. Havertz is still young enough to learn pretty much any offensive or midfield position to perfection. But he has been used primarily and to great effect as the right offensive midfielder in a 4231 . He has enough pace to play wing but would be a bit wasted out wide cos he is an able playmaker. Also not the most explosive. He might also work as the most offensive cm in a 433. less likely but possible options for him include false nine or classic no 10 in a 4231 or 343 Lampard prolly had Position and formation in mind when he pitched for Werner and Havertz. So he probably knows where to put them. vs Brighton Puli is out so I could imagine New GK Azpi Rudi. Zouma. Chilwell Kante Mount. Havertz Ziyech. Giroud. Werner but I could see Kovacic starting in midfield and Havertz play false 8 if we have that in our locker as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havertz has also started as a striker for Leverkusen a couple of times and he is 6'2 in height. Can't he play side by side with Werner up top?Sent from my SM-A307FN using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Thanks mate. So we still need a striker as well? Abraham you don't rate hime in your team, and atm I don't rate him at all so we've only got Olly. And as regards CB what about the forgotten man Ethan Ampadu, I rate him quite highly and he wants to come back to fight for a place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 And so we've got an abundance of midfielders, where we going to fit them all in, mind you I think that one or two or three will go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see Ziyech or Pulisic working in a 442 when Pulisic returns from injury, I think Giroud will be dropped to the bench and Werner moved to the middle. what i consider our best lineup ina traditional 4231 would be Kante Kovacic ziyech Havertz Pulisic Werner bit bc Lamps loves Mount so much I doubt we will see it. kellzfresh and killer1257 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the same line. I only see Kovacic on the bench and Mount being a starter instead of himGesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan 17,957 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 A lovely tribute to the man, this series. And makes you wonder. Quite clearly everyone at the club would love this partnership to continue for years, this series proves it. I do not remember anything similar regarding a new coach, not even Mourinho before his second stint. And it would be just pretty awkward if he does not deliver and gets the boot next summer, a year after the series... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
