KSV Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Not too bad. Solid back three with two attacking wing backs. Midfield mix of hard workers..Steel and flair. And good finishing front two. Mix it up with some crossing and through the middle. Im taping and watch it tomorrow. Hope we win. Every game I see live we lose.. so im sure we will win 2-0.

sonic_bouma Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Would have like one of hourihane and Lansbury in for Gardner. Amavi and Bree will have to be very forward thinking otherwise with just 3 attack minded players in there it will be turgid stuff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I like the team. It's get both strikers in without losing a cm. We have grealish in his natural position. Two attacking wing backs. 3 defenders who should be solid together. I like it. Not a huge fan of Gardner in there though.

mikeyp102 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Back five and then 2 holding midfielders... surprised that Hourihane and Lansbury are the ones to miss out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Creative players with most assists on the bench ? Gardner and grealish ahead of hourihane and Lansbury = recipe for disaster . Too negative for me . Edited April 17, 2017 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If this is gonna work Bree and Amavi have to push forward as much as possible. The problem with the formation when we tried it in January was we were way too defensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Maybe Jedi for Elphick to bring in Lansbury and Hourihane for Gardner. Otherwise he's admitting his 2 prime January midfield players were an error.

Eastie Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I'd have switched baker to left back and put jedinak into back 3 leaving out amavi and Gardner and bringing in hourihane and Lansbury with grealish in midfield - I know baker not so good going forward at wing back but amavi is shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's admitting that they can't put in 90 minutes of running twice in three days. These changes are about playing on Saturday and Monday, not about quality - I think that's absolutely glaringly obvious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have though if anyone was struggling to play 2 it would be Jedi not Lansbury or hourihane . still interesting to see how this works - I like the formation but not the midfield.
