the fox Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 (edited) 3 CBs..... Hmmmm. Watford are a physical team so it's not really that surprising. Thought he would go with a safer formation for his first game. Just don't let them score in the first half AND defend corners.

Happy Fox Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 Defensively we have been suspect this season, so three at the back is welcome. Both Full backs will push up and hopefully the creativity of Tielmans, Maddison, Barnes can help Vardy get the goals. Up the City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 Evans is plenty quick enough. Not sure why people think he's slow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosse93 Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 Hoping it's Barnes upfront alongside Vards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywood_6 Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 Brendan said Wes has an important role to play so not surprising to see him back in, looking forward to seeing how the formations plays out! Expect to see Chilwell and Ricardo bombing up and down the wings and joining in with the attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 Is Barnes better more central or out wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkidsFox Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 It's only one game, and maybe it will work ok. A bit reckless tho imo to make such a change without working for a while with the team. But hoping I'm wrong and we smash them 3-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richieboy Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 Like the idea of 3 at the back. will be interesting to see how Wes plays under this system. I not sure who it was. may have been Sam Allardyce,who thought Wes was a big influence on games due to his leadership quaiities ,but due to age and slowing down needed cover beside him in case of errors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleFox Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 Maguire looked good in the left of a three at World Cup. Up the foxes. X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xen Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 Morgan in a back 3 is far better than Morgan in a back 2. Less reliant on pace and more on positioning - which he's excellent at. Also allows Maguire to roam and the FBs to push up without leaving us short at the back. If Maddison is playing wide then it's a bit harsh on Gray who has done well lately, but if he's behind a front 2 of Vardy/Barnes then it's a much closer pick, for me. Imagine we'll see Gray getting some minutes though. Surprised we're seeing such a notable change already - he's had less than a week with the players and already changed formation. Wonder if BR is planning on 3atb for every match or just the away/tough home games. Excited to see how this works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claridge Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 We should have some attacking presence at corners.hope the defence isn’t all over the place when they attack. Morgan marshalling the defence doesn’t inspire me. Evans in the middle I hooe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Analysethis Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 *** NEWS ALERT *** NORTHERN IRISH MANAGER PICKS TWO ENGLISHMEN AND A NORTHERN IRISH LAD AS PART OF A BACK THREE (Ive seen this somewhere before LOL) The plus points are we now look better prepared for set pieces both defending and attacking, We also give two of the best attacking full-backs in the division the chance to do more attacking than defending and we load up midfield positions which can look quite open at times. The only thing I dont like to see is the lack of Hamza from the bench but otherwise I have no complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oadby.fox Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 Don't know why some are saying that Puel would be slated for the same line up. Many on here, myself included, have been baying for a three at the back formation for ages. However I am worried that it might not be so well drilled. But it seems to get the best out of the players that we have and so could be an interesting experiment moving forwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 To be fair, people slate Wes but we've missed his communication and leadership at times in his absence. Gives Harry licence to roam forward to and contribute to attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 3 March 2019 Share Posted 3 March 2019 Positionally, where should the back 3 play? Maguire is an obvious consideration for LCB, but what about him being central of the 3? Similar to Luiz under Conte, who’s job was to spray the ball . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
