Seeing the stains of Soumare and Ndidi there must propperly piss him off

Ricardo played as an inverted full back that half tucking into the back three similar to what Thomas did vs Shrewsbury - the correct side to let Fatwatu be free on the right tbf, happy he's still experimenting Mavididi central. In the real world: - Kristianson > Justin - Justin > Ricardo - Ricardo > Soumare - Vardy > Daka - literally anyone > Ndidi

Feel like shit, just wanna see Ricardo in the Soumare role.

Great, but there's no friendlies at the KP

Soumare will show him how it's done in the first.....

No Braybrooke but Ward on the bench. Get out.

No seriously why is this in Chesterfield? Do they hate us that much that they want us to pay £10 to watch it in online. Can we not just get Palermo a bus and put it on at the KP and maybe let fans and future fans go? Sick of it

Just not believing """Romano""" not gonna do it lads, don't care. Soule is coming to play where McAteer did last night. Come on.

Yeah I agree with you and think Cooper was giving minutes / fitting players in. Don't think he will invert but will use one side more defensive and one more attacking, probably switching throughout and overall being a lot more adaptive.

I wasn't actually talking about wing backs, but 3 positional CBs and a double pivot. That being said Bayer Leverkusen just dominated with 3 atb and variations of wing backs similar to a 3421..so I wouldn't write it off. My point was that the Championship and PL were won by teams with the 3 positional CBs with a double pivot playing progressive passing football, dominating possession. 343 and variations with 3 ATB have been very popular throughout history with many winners. The logic that you sacrifice a midfielder to play 3 CBs is the opposite of what Enzo did, and why Pep started to push Stones into midfield as well. But you need creative players and fortunately, also my point, we have Vestergaard. I'd be annoyed if Cooper uses Fatwatu as a wing back.

And the B team: Anyone but Ward Coady - Souttar - Okoli Thomas Ndidi - Soumare Reid McAteer - Alves Daka

Is Doyle a CB? It was 3 ATB in possession the difference to last night was the 3 CBs didn't push forward as much, probably because two were Nelson and Thomas.

Think that's exactly what Cooper will do for the next game. The dodgy Z formation 3421 Mads Justin - Vestergaard - Faes Kristiansen Ricardo - Winks Fatwatu Soule - Mavididi Vardy

I mean, Vestergaard sweeping up and being excellent with possession of the ball means we can keep the ball, be progressive and play passing football, examplified last year already. I'd say most 3 atb teams aren't playing 3atb to be defensive hoofy counter attack but you retain possession due to a double pivot Infront

Honestly I think we're lucky Rudkin didn't give Ward a new contract after Kasper left of 80k+. No doubt Ward's camp in pre season were in his ear with "ooo top 8 PL number 1 GK". 50k to be third choice in the championship last year is terrible when 3rd choice PL Keepers are 20-30k a week. Ward isn't a competitive number 2 anymore we should subsidise his wages to a championship team until he leaves for free and goes to the PL as third choice where he belongs.

He can't kick for shit

Can see something in possession like this considering Soule being a serious target. However would be a lot more fluid than Enzo's strict system. Hermansen Faes - Vestergaard - Okoli Ricardo - Winks Fatawu - Soule - Mavididi - Reid Vardy Out of possession Hermansen Fatawu - Okoli - Vestergaard - Justin Ricardo - Winks Soule - Mavididi - Reid Vardy Don't like it using Fatawu like that but doesn't look like Cooper fancies an inverted Ricardo. However Mavididi behind the striker looked effective. Similar to his use of Brennan Johnson really where he used 10s behind a striker. Saelemaekers also makes sense in that LWB/LW role over Reid. Either way Fatawu should be on the right side and will, so yesterday's line up/tactic just won't be the same for Spurs.

Is there a refund option for Okoli?

No

Cooper out

Good to see Alves In this Mavdidi role

You just did

Nelson not Vesty but easy mistake tbf. It's not too off from what I see but it's a variation of 3241 Ndidi on right not winks, Mavidid and McAteer behind Daka who seems to be dropping deep. Ricardo id effectively right wing and right back which just isn't sustainable for him and Fatwatu has an easy LW job just doesn't have the ball. Agree on wasting Fatwatu there but obviously cooper is experimenting. Would expect Fatawu as the RW, Okoli for Thomas, and Soule for McAteer if it goes through. Reid on the left and Mavididi stays where he is.

What about the match though
