Vindaloo FOX Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 2-1 United, just don't have confidence in this team at the moment.
Tuna Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Hopefully someone has confiscated Brendan's tactical / substitution raffle machine.

honeybradger Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 3 minutes ago, Nick said: Maybe - or maybe it’ll be like every other new brand of one season wonder success tactic... it’ll get worked out next year and not nearly be so successful. We'll see, Wilder has shown himself to be tactically flexible in the past like him switching to a 352 this year which allows him to get late runners into the box while also having strength in the midfield, compared to last year where he played 3412 where a more advanced midfielder allowed him to keep sustained pressure on weaker teams and break them down. Also he created an entirely new tactic in overlapping centre backs, the only managers who come up with new ideas in football have a very good understanding of the game unlike most other managers who learn their tactics out of a book written by other people, so i cant really see him being tactically outsmarted by most managers.
SmuelMartin Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Been told we’re a 3-4-2-1 tonight. Different source to usual so unsure the reliability but not too sure how pleased I’d be with us trying to match. Thomas LWB.

Sure. But it only takes one team to play in a certain way, work out the Achilles Heel of the system and boom - everybody then does it against you. Not taking anything away from Wilder though - he deserves recognition.
jeffschlupp Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Huge ask for Thomas to play his first ever senior game at any level (outside of the FL Trophy) in a must win game for Champions League qualification, especially against these. If true, best of luck to the lad. Immensely proud thing for the club to have another academy graduate in the Premier League, and a local boy too.

Highly rated, but not sure why we'd be so keen to chuck him in for a big game like this, especially as the CBs next to him won't be the usual pairing... 1

Lambert09 Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 (edited) Bonus game! I’ve already given up, as have many so it’s up to the lads to get the fans believing again. If we we are missing out let’s do it with a bit of fight Edited 16 July 2020 by Lambert09

Fuchs clearly didn’t have the legs, Albrighton out so JJ has to play on the right. 1
Xen Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Just now, Happy Fox said: Evans and Morgan? Exactly - we've set up with Soyuncu on the left all season, so Morgan will be even rustier than usual and whilst his leadership skills are without question, there's a lot of pressure on Thomas as Wes won't be as mobile to recover any mistakes unlike Soyuncu. Maybe it wont be as risky with a 3atb formation as he wont have to focus as much on the defensive side.

Well, Fuchs was alarmingly poor the other day in the second half, and Albrighton isn't a full back.... So needs must I imagine. 1

I've not fully read the thread so may have missed confirmation either way, but is Chilwell not fit enough to start? I know he's been pictured in full training, at least... Rotten luck really how many injuries we've got to all our wide defensive players, though.

No idea mate tbf, just the team I’ve been told does not have him in it. 1
Pliskin Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Well if he is highly rated, and is good enough to train with the first team... Then he will be good enough to start, lets hope if it is true he has an absolute blinder. 1
RoboFox Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 I'm starting to feel a bit of tension now. I really don't want to be let down like I was last week. It made us, and this place utterly unbearable Please, lads. Do it for FoxesTalk.

Countryfox Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 Of course I'm going to watch it but must admit I'm not looking forward to it at all ... I just know that afterwards I'm going to be so bloody miserable ... Mind you I should be getting used to it by now ....
Nalis Posted 16 July 2020 Posted 16 July 2020 I like Sheff Utd but I want to see tears stream from Sean Bean's face into a cup of freshly brewed Yorkshire Tea.
