But you can’t knock him down to six either. Settle on eight?
-
I don’t trust odds. We can all remember when the odds suggested Grealish would stay!
-
With trouser leg rolled up?
-
Leon Bailey played in Germany but is aJamaican National. So when I read “German” player I think more of nationality than where he/she plays.
-
Couldn’t agree more. Formations need not be rigid and, as Liverpool showed, a fluid approach is needed to win at the highest level. A front three of Watkins, Ings and Bailey with Buendia, Mc Ginn and Luiz/Nakamba/new CDM behind would trouble any team. Anybody remember one of the goals Olly scored in the 7-2 demolition of Liverpool where he cut in from the left and placed a right foot shot well wide of the goalkeeper? Hopefully more of that to come.

Excuse me guys but if you two want a tiff please do it somewhere else. I’m on here to find out about possible new players we may sign.
-
I went for Donald because I always thought Daffy is left-handed.
-
Let’s hope we get this deal over the line quickly. If we don’t Donald’s arm will drop off!
-
And I thought 88 was two fat ladies! No good for any midfield.
-
Yes please. Is this just a wish or do you know something?
-
Grealish ?
-
4-2-4 is just looking for trouble.
-
442 is not the right way to go. Our midfield would be overrun.
-
Yes I agree and this why I don’t think Ings will play as No. 10 in the way people think about Barclay etc.. We could easily line up: Watkins, Ings, Bailey (front three as Liverpool) with three midfielders behind - say Buendia, McGinn, Nakamba/Luiz - but I would prefer a top DM in place of N/L. End result a very fluid 4-3-3 with no fixed No.10 but we will have to wait to see what Dean decides to do.
-
Ings, in a recent interview, has talked about playing in a “false nine” position. This is really how Firmino plays for Liverpool. They start as a nominal 4-3-3 but Firmino gets the ball in a withdrawn position and tries to play in either Salah or Mane. Modern football requires fluid play so I think it can be misleading to think only in terms of rigid formations.
-
Rather be linked to a top class DM, a CB to cover/challenge Konsa and 2nd string GK.
-
No idea. Have you seen proof? I can’t believe this could happen but given the damage COVID-19 has done to most economies who is in a position to help?
-
Spot on.
-
No, just incompetent management.
-
What isn’t - Inter Milan story?
-
But Pep said he only paid £40m to begin with!
-
Cheeky bid for Casemiro ?
-
The Villa website show Sanson as “attacking midfield” so doubtful he will be used as DM.
-
It’s a nominal 4-3-3 but Liverpool do not stick rigidly to it. Firmino drops deep regularly to play in Mane or Salah. What happens behind depends upon how you want to set-up. The combination of attacking/box-to-box/defensive midfielders depends on who you are playing but in any case needs to be fluid.
-
Interesting to think about the attacking options we have now. In a recent interview - at Villa - Ings talked about the possibility of playing as a false nine. This made me think of the Liverpool team that won the Premier league and Champions league. Firmino is nominal “centre forward” but comes deep to play in Mane or Salah - both of whom start wide but end up in front of goal and scoring! Just imagine having a front three of Watkins, Ings and Bailey with Buendia prompting. Whatever system(s) Dean chooses we will be causing problems for most teams this season.
