We have to let Bailey drift wide. We have to stop playing 2 forwards. Buendia has to start. Luiz has to start  

I worry none of these will happen. 

Bingo.

Our best period last season was when they were up top together. Stop trying to draw conclusions based on 45 mins of a pre season game on a terrible pitch. 

We won 7 games they played together all season and 2 of them was under Smith.  Hardly Yorke and Cole

A simple tactical switch in midfield changed the game, having 2 more central meant they couldn’t just run through us. We have to play 2 in the centre, we look much better.

Two up top for us doesn’t work. He has to start Buendia I don’t care who starts with him. Phillipe will destroy some teams but Buendia will be more consistent.

I still think they can play together however can we afford to bench a fit looking Bailey? 4-2-3-1 is the obvious way to go to get all three in and they will give us variety.

We potentially can be a devastating attacking team but Gerrard needs to pick the best team. His insistence on picking Watkins and Ings together will cost a lot of points.

I have a list of things I have problems with our set up, but here’s 3 things that really need to change

f**k playing narrow

f**k playing 2 up top  

press more 

first goal was shocking, McGinn got sucked in and was 3 players vs Cash.  If play a wide forward there then it helps a lot even if not a great defender

>> better. 
> just about better

GK. Martinez>>>Olsen. 
RB. Cash>>KKH>Fred. 
RCB. Carlos>>Chambers>Konza. 
LCB. Carlos>>Chambers>Mings. 
LB. Digne>>Ludwig>Young>>>Chrisene
DCM. Boubs>>>Doug>Tim>Marv
RCM.Doug>John>Morgan. 
LCM. John>JJ. 
RAM/W. Bailey>Beundia>>>Berty
CAM. Beundia>>Coutinho. 
LAM/W. Coutinho>>Bailey. 
CF. Watkins>Archer>Ings

I have the same team as you but I put Konsa in, probably just based on today.

However I've heavily favoured Chambers so yours would probably edge it 

EDIT: I had JJ in for Coutinho

He needs to stop playing his favourites

Right now Buendia, Bailey and Kessler must start!

You want to start Kessler, who’s had one good half of football for our first team, ahead of our POTS? 

Stop posting for reactions.

KKH sowed against Man City in the FA Cup last season that he is more than good enough for this level.

Seems like most are in agreement of the above formation being the best for our players. Luiz definitely seems like our best fit in a pivot next to Kamara as Tim most likely still a loan or so off.

I feel very good about the team above we just hope that SG is as positive about as we are.

Looking forward I do still see the need for an 8 still but if the above becomes our default we look particular light on wing options?
