Bizarre lineup. 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

3 CB to combat wolves 2 st (Jota n Jimenez) 

[!Hazard! 3,394]

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

Alonso won't have a good game, he's hardly played and he's shite.

[Hutcho 8,443]

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!

I am actually quite impressed with this line up. 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.

Azpi as wing back is a bit bizzare. Not sure he has the ability to go one on one.

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.

Lol. If you want to protect your fb you play defensive winger and problem solved.

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 5,378]

I think it's to counter Wolves' 5 at the back system. We tend to struggle against sides that play it.

Exactly....he is still testing the Waters as any good manager should. 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.
