You would expect Azpi to play as CB if we're going three at the back and yet there are three other CB's there as well? And why on Earth is there Willian instead of Pedro or Pulisic Because Pedro was injured for some time and Willian has been training a lot since he came back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!Hazard! 3,394 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Actually expecting Alonso to have a decent game given how he'll have three centrebacks covering his snail-esque movement. In fact I'm more worried about Azpi as RWB, he simply doesnt have the characteristics to play that position Vesper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,154 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Alonso won't have a good game, he's hardly played and he's shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutcho 8,443 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Loving all the pessimism on here. Geeez I like it. Without kante we need the defensive help and alonso has proven himself to be a very good wing back.Only slightly strange one is Willian. But in lamps I trust. So let's go! kellzfresh, Atomiswave, bigbluewillie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the best line up because having both Alonso and Azpi, who belong to the worst RBs in the PL,in a back four wold be a disaster. Now, we have enough CBs to cover their mistakes.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Its an interesting cal going with a back 5. For Mount and Alonso I think it is perfect but no idea how Jorginho and Azpi will cope with their positions. I am curious how it will pan out. At least its not as predictable as what Sarri did with us. Lamps had plenty of time to work on this over the intl break with many palyers remaining on the trainings ground so maybe he will get it right this time.

If you want to protect your fb you play defensive winger and problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superblue 6,372 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Don't mind this lineup. It shows at the very least that Lampard isn't blind to our defensive issues and he's trying to address it.

MoroccanBlue 5,385 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I think it's to counter Wolves' 5 at the back system. We tend to struggle against sides that play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the squad to go full 343 if need be and do well with it. This means he is potent our Lamps, you cant stick to your predictable ways always. Whether it pays dividens today is another thing....good luck to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,961 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Just by having more numbers back there we theoretically should be more secure defensively so that's a good thing I guess. I just worry about our attackers being more isolated. Not big on Mason starting out wide, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if Alonso is really pushing forward like during Conte days then Mount will cut inside and play in more central role Superblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communicate 2,703 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 The amount of hatred toward Alonso as wb is mind-boggling. We won the league with Alonso as wb. Azpi side is more concerning, Azpi is not a wb Stats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
