I would have a complete overhaul after that. Why not? 3-5-2 it is.

 

GK:Kasper

 

CB: Chilwell

CB: Huth

CB: Hernandez

 

LWB: Fuchs

RWB: Albrighton

 

MC: Drinkwater

MC: Mendy

MC: Barnes

 

ST: Ulloa

ST: Musa

 

Subs: Zieler, Morgan, Amartey, Gray, Simpson, King, Ozazaki.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Aw, how sweet. 3 CBs who almost never played one with another and 3 MCs, who beside having never played together, are also lacking game time. The whole in a completely new formation. It will work like a charm.

Because it is working so well at the moment.

Indeed. Pardon my sarcastic tone, I'd love to see a formation change (even with not quite the same team sheet) too, but I'm fairly certain it will 4-4-2 again with following players on the list:

 

                      kasper

      simpson huth morgan fuchs

mahrez drinkwater amartey albrighton

                okazaki slimani

I'd like to see us go with something like:

 

Schmeichel (c)

 

Simpson

Huth

Fuchs

Chilwell

 

Amartey

 

Mahrez

Drinkwater

King

Gray

 

Okazaki

 

We've got to try something fundamentally different in our approach in possession and apparently 3 at the back is a non-starter.

 

In my opinion we need a minimum of 2 defenders who don't treat the ball like a contagious disease. Unless we play Wasyl again (one of the few positives today was watching a centre back in a blue shirt at least trying to pass it into midfield) that means either playing Hernandez or Chilwell. Chilwell has earned another start and I'm sure Fuchs could do a decent enough job with Huth next to him.

Pretty negative that like. Basically a 4-6-0 at home to west ham as okazaki will drop too deep.

Like any formation it's as positive or as negative as we want it to be.

 

Id suggest that any formation which sets up with defenders capable of playing the ball forwards on the floor will make us a lot more potent going forward.

 

Chelsea started today without a centre forward and won 3-0. Okazaki is a proven number 9 in Germany and is an intelligent enough player not to drop off if that isn't his role.

 

That said we all know it will be 4-4-2 with a Simpson-Morgan-Huth-Fuchs back 4.

Yep, I can see that. As long as Amartey's only job is to run around a bit and win possession back, I'm happy enough.

King and Drinkwater can hopefully then feed the wide men with some decent ball.

My only concern is if Shinji doesn't score, who gets the goals?

So you'd go for ZERO pace up top? What would be the approach? Lobbing the high ball in from the flanks?

no not lobbing balls in from the flanks, its called crossing balls into players who are good with their heads and has been happening for years effectively. if he insists on playing slimani who is without a doubt shit with his feet but good with his head why not play to his strengths and ulloas. what pace do we have apart from musa who has had zero game time?

We're obviously going to play 4-4-2 so id go with:

 

GK: Kasper

RB: Simpson

CB: Huth

CB: Morgan

LB: Chilwell

 

RM: Gray

CM: Drinkwater

CM: Amartey

LM: Fuchs

 

ST: Ulloa

ST: Musa


what makes you think he will go with 4-4-2 [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Easy solution to guess the team. Make the most common sense selection based on ability and performance and then pick something opposite.

 

Gray and most certainly be dropped whilst Albrighton and slimani start.

 

....and we wonder why we are where we are.

exactly, i said in another thread, hopefully the ACON will force his hand and make him change it a lot which may give a lot of players who should be playing now a proper chance

And who provides the supply?

Are we bringing Guppy back from retirement? Or Stevie Lynex?

 

lol

I don't mean to be facetious, but our creativity in supply is shocking in this team. I fear we'd have both Slim and Ulloa isolated because little was getting to them to attack.

Two Amarty's have to be better than one. Just hope the ref don't do a head count. We should be fine.
