Gesendet von meinem VOG-L29 mit Tapatalk damn maguire and pogba not starting seriously strengthens them. Both take eternities on the ball and have been dispossessed by pressing even from poor teams like Crystal Palace or Westham. On the other hand they dont really get the ball up to Fernandes and their pacehwores up front without Pogba.Mctominay/Matic/fred are hopelessly average passers and not exactly press resistant either. Lets hope Matic has an extreme off day like he always used to for us in big games. killer1257 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhead23 1,147 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Let's do the simple thing right and we have a chance. Lets have Odio start on the right side instead of Mount, Kovavic in the middle along with Kante, start with Giroud for first 45 and then Werner as the first change. Mendy James - Silva - Tomori - Chilwell Kovacic - Kante Odio - Havertz - Pulisic Giroud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like we could enter a dangerous territory the longer that record is stuck at 3 wins. So, a win on Saturday may be needed... A point won't be the worst thing here even though we could do with a win. The two after that however fall into the must win category regardless of Sundays result.

BigMabz 61 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Im struggling to muster up the optimism where a positive result could be on the cards. Can see us having a lot of possession and squandering chances and being hit on the break a couple of times.

We drew at home vs Southampton does that make us an easy game for them? West Brom drew with us 3 3 does that make them a difficult game all of a sudden.Its a 2 game sample size which means very little. come kick off.

I will not be happy with draw we should go for a win, this is all I am saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zouma terrifies me. I wish Rudiger would get a run of games with Thiago. I hate the Kante/Jorgi double pivot. God help us if Chilwell goes down. Mount should NEVER play winger again. Kepa should be removed to the U23's. Am oki with the rest. My sentiments exactly. I've postd about my fear of Zoumaas well, i've asked whats happene to Rudi? Lamps is not going with Kante/Kova As regards to mount i like him, but he aint no winger, also why the fuck was Pulisic put out on the right to accomodate Mount? for the 10 minutes Puli was used on the left he came to life he terrified the Sevilla defence, then I can only assume that for whatever reason Lamps put him back on the right. But this is the team I think he will pick, just on that subject is Thiago going to be ok for this game? looks like he had a porblem before the Sevilla game, and 2 games in 4 days. Mendy Dave Thiago? Zouma Chilwell Kante Jorginho Mount Havertz Pulisic Werner Even with that team i'm not going to panic, I think we can get a result, too many seem to think that Manure are the 2nd coming.

ulvhedin 526 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Why is everyone puting Ziyech on? He looked crap in both matches so far, I am not sure him already starting vs Utd is good idea. However, since Lamps hates CHO, that means Mount will start as LW again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kante 1,643 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Please stop playing 4231. We do not have the CM's to play it properly as teams just keep running past Jorgi and Kante. Until we get a real DMF park the formation and try again if SFL wants. For me, go with 433. My team would be: Mendy James. Thiago. AC. Chilwell Kante Havertz. Mount/Kova Puli. Giroud. Werner Bench: Willy, Zouma, Dave, Jorgi, Kova, CHO, Tammy In my opinion, Ziyech needs to get some fitness still. I would be looking to start him during the week.

In a back 3 system, think it's fine to play Werner on the left on the front 3 because he'll operate much closer to the striker position (as opposed to wide on the flanks in a back 4 system). He played there for Leipzig and has done the same for Germany too, I believe. In fact, I'm kinda curious to see if we'll use Werner alongside alongside Abraham or Giroud, who he can play off with like he did with Poulsen at Leipzig. communicate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
