Do we still need a back 4?

[simFox]

Maguire is proving solid in defence, why not play a back 3?

 

We have more depth in midfield and plenty of attacking options, we should use them.

 

Discuss.

We need more depth at CB if you want to play 3 of them.

[Koke]

We can't draw many conclusions from today's game. Brighton looked out of their depth and we won't have an easier game all season. 

 

 

[les-tah]

 if you wanna play 3 at the back you need to sign 2 more defenders to start with maguire

[Osavo]

Why change a formula that appears to be working well? Think we've looked very good in a 4-4-2 in the first 2 games. 

[Bryn]

The scary thing here is you seem to think that a back three is a centre back and two full backs.

[ajthefox]

We don't really have proper wing backs on either side or enough depth to play with 3 CBs.

 

Albrighton and Fuchs could be the full backs but it would be a little square peg/round hole.

 

If you went 3-5-2 I would quite like to see Vards and Nacho/Shinji up top with Riyad behind them in the middle though.

That game was Morgan's level, one sloppy backpass in the 2nd half, a quicker striker would have been in on that.

Please no more Simpson is the weak link or anything of that ilk.

He's consistently excellent at RB.

He's a weak link. Him fuchs and Morgan are worrying.

We don't need a back 4. Just a back 1. MAGUIRE.

Just as I turned to my son to say Simpson's having a good a game he passed the ball straight to a Brighton player not 10 feet away
