I still think Albrighton has something to contribute to the team but other than that it fits everyone in pretty well. I agree but i still think Albrighton could become a right back similar to Valencia at United. Hes always been decent defensively and would just need work on his positioning. I know hes played their a few times and not looked great but i think with a bit of training he could be decent. Simpson is no use to us in the way puel wants us to line up as he offers nothing going forward. If puel is expecting the width to come from the full backs, we'd be knackered if ricardo got injured. Im actually surprised we've not sold Simpson. I do like him and think he's very good defensively but he just doesn't fit in with puels style

Maguire Evans Ricardo Chillwell Iborra N'didi Silva Maddison Paco Vardy Again, if these moves were going to take place you'd think we'd have seen evidence of them. Finally! 41212 is the formation to get as many of our best players in the squad at once, and all the players playing their best positions. Nobody seems to want it other than me though. I mean it's effectively how most teams that play 433 play as well, and we've used 433 in this preseason. Edited 30 July 2018 by Beechey 1

It's gonna be either a bog standard 442 or the new normal 4231/451/4411 which are all basically the same tactic. My previous formation post was a joke to satisfy Ric's obsession with 5atb. The sad reality is we're still planning to play wingers, there isn't any brilliant plan afoot to play without them, there's no clever reason we haven't signed any, we've just ****ed up replacing Riyad and we're running with Gray, Albrighton and Diabate. Don’t have an Xbox. This is is a thread about signing this guy and I posted what might be a fun formation that puts in some creativity, who gives too Fuchs if it comes off or not? I was trying to appease your hipster vibes, clearly I missed it. Oh well. I think @Babylon‘s formation is pretty close to what we’ll play. Puel has previous with a diamond. Also could be 451. Until we start the season, we won’t know.

Some ****ing company I've never heard of have won the rights Except Eleven Sports has never broadcast a game of either league in this country yet so obviously nobody could ever have seen them, hipster or not...? Try a little less to catch folk out and you'll probably get caught out a little less.
