quickpassnmove 924 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Smart lineup and formation by Conte. I haven't seen the bench. I'm excited to see Christensen operate in MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAGreavsie 6,090 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 My guess? 3-5-2 with Rudi in midfield. Other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate when were outnumbered in midfield. I'm not a fan of Dier but he gives Spurs the tactical flexibility to change from 3 at the back and match us up, to 4 at the back and pack the midfield depending on the circumstances.

Rapkun 668 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 It's still 3-4-3. Azpi will play as RWB and Moses will play as a winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's 352 with Christensen in CM, Willian up top with Morata, Ruediger's at CB. so, that's Christensen, Bakayoko and Kante in CM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,985 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Just a bit difficult to tell where the service into Morata will come from. It'll likely have to be from the wide areas through Willian and Moses because Kante & Bakayoko may get smothered by the 3 in midfield. This, in particular, is a game we'll really miss Hazard in.

Willian behind the striker. Looks like it is a '3-5-1-1'. Will certainly help with our problem of getting overrun by Spurs' midfield in recent times. PS: Liking the technical profile of our back three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrique 9,133 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Its 3-5-2. Luiz and Morata playing in attack. Conte liked that 2nd goal against Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Despiadado.Maleante 1,046 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 It's normal 343 with Moses as rm and Azpi as rwb. Idk why people are confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
