Spoony Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Leeds getting pummelled again. It’s hard to pick which of our recent results is the most embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Just now, OutByEaster? said: Perhaps playing two strikers is about giving us a bit more ability to close their full backs out wide? I dunno. I'm surprised people are quite so horrified with the rest of the selection other than Buendia being out. And congratulations to Tommi O'Reilly on the bench again - he's done brilliantly. I think most people wanted *something* different, not the side we play when we’re already losing 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted February 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted February 26, 2022 It will be interesting to see if it's 4-3-1-2 or 4-3-2-1 - I really hope it's the first of those, I don't want to see Watkins as a ten again. Ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s definitely the latter, but it’s what we always play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strog Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Some players clearly immune from being benched. Can’t see anything but a loss here, hope I’m wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyVillans Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 How does mcginn get selected again. Ings plays his best when buendia is playing and plays his worst when he plays with watkins. Terrible selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbvilla909 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 4-4-2, but without wingers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's the problem - our best eleven aren't playing well, but they are our best eleven - it's hard to make changes without weakening us, but it's also hard to leave it as it is when it's not going well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 So Buendia the scapegoat. This better work for Gerrard because i can imagine the stick if it doesnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Its like Steve Bruce tactics, take off the creator and stick another striker on. I expect we will see a lot more long balls from Mings/McGinn to because they will have no pass on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give McGinn a slightly more free role and then can still have Ramsey and Coutinho just off the CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skruff Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 This line up. Oh well, I'll keep quiet until the end of the game. But looks like a really poor choice and makes me doubt the manager. Hopefully there's a system change and I'll be proven wrong and ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Buendia dropped and no midfield changes baffles me. I hope he just needs a rest, but without Buendia we have no real press from the front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNVillan Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I’m happy to be proven wrong, but that team selection seems utterly ridiculous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 I'm expecting a long afternoon, Brighton playing a 4-2-3-1 instead of their usual 3-4-2-1 will see them have the tactical edge this time. Buendia being dropped to facilitate 2 malfunctioning strikers is a disgrace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
