Team shape, tactics and personnel

With Torres looking like done had thought about if happened might look at Konsa at RB and he could work the way Emery played last season with RB not getting forward. Pretty much a season worth of games at RB in his career. I'd be ok with that

Does anybody think we may play 3–4-3 given all the links to CB’s and CM’s?

 

                       Martinez 

           Konsa     Mings   Torres 

Tielmans     Luiz      Kamara    Ramsey 

            New      Watkins   New

Formation possibly at times but not that personnel.  No McGinn either? Can’t see it.

I think Emery is a big fan of the 4 4 2 defensive shape and as "formations" are always quoted as the defensive shape I don't think he will play this as it's too far removed from how he wants us to play in build up. The 3 4 3 means defending in a back 5 not 4

What Emery seems keen on is a back 4 in defence and then a switch to a functional back 3 in build up where a full back (Left Back usually) moves forward to be in attack and the other 3 players shift over to make a back 3 behind the two 6s. 

So do I think we will play with 3 CBs? Yes often. Do I think it will be as part of a back 3? No it will be part of a back 4 when defending.

I think 442 shape will still be Emery’s preferred formation but this will change during the game no doubt. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the team below start the first game away at Newcastle.  Moreno when fit will take the left side place and someone new (not yet signed) next to Watkins. 

                         Martinez 

   Konsa     Mings      Torres     Digne

                     Luiz      Kamara   
McGinn                                       Tielemans 

                    New      Watkins

Not really. We've been linked to so many players the majority are made up. I'll keep posting this

Cash is poor at wingback.

This team would struggle to score more than 35 goals.

This might be the slowest team to ever grace the planet. I include my Obese XI Sunday league team in that.
