Guest av1 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I think we'll probably set up with a standard 4-3-3 Nyland Axel Chester Jedinak Hutton Thor Hourihane McGinn Kodjia Abraham Grealish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but what about the 8 goals we would have scored with someone else putting in the crosses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuanzebe-----Nyland---Chester---Jedinak----Hutton -----------McGinn-----Hourihane----Bjaranson------------ ------------------------------Grealish-----------------------Kodjia ------------------------------Abraham------------------------------- I'm confused! Who is the back five in your example and who plays on the right id Kodjia plays on the left? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Depending on how you classify players we have zero wingers in the starting 11, and 3 (or 4 depending how you classify Elmo) on the bench along with 1 (or 2) RB's + Whelan. That's some quality trolling from Bruce For the love of McGrath just put him/us out of our misery ffs. Edited September 28, 2018 by sne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 To be fair to Bruce it takes some talent to mess it up so regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted September 28, 2018 Moderator Share Posted September 28, 2018 The thing is, if he wants to play with two up front and he wants to play Grealish, he can't also play with wingers - we don't have a defence that can withstand that. I'd suggested in the week he might drop the wingers in order to solve the problem - in fairness I didn't think he actually would. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) 3 Centre backs I reckon, it was his pre season plan so let's see if it works. Grealish in behind the top two with 2 centre mids maybe? Whatever the weather I'm expecting to lose and for him to be sacked in the next few days with Calderwood/Agnew in as caretakers.

Django_Zooms Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Diamond midfield. Thor behind, Jack on point, 2 upfront running channels and also getting between their CBs. The only response to Saturday. And a massive waste of signing 4,000 wingers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it is a waste of signing all the wingers we have - but then Bruce seems to have sat down in pre-season, come up with a style he wants to play and then deliberately shaped our squad to make it difficult. I have a feeling that Grealish behind Abraham and Kodjia - with McGinn, Hourihane and Bjarnason all protecting Jedinak, erm I mean the back four, might be enough to win us the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
