Sunbury Fox Posted 26 September 2020 Share Posted 26 September 2020 Wonder if we might see Justin as a RCB in a 3 with Jonny and Cags. Looked good there v Man U in the final game of last season, arguably his best performance for us. We would then need Fuchsy to roll back the years at LB, though.....

Too be honest, a really difficult pick and could change it again in 5 minutes 😄 Would this be the same Amartey that was being given the runaround by a bunch of Gooner kids?

I didn't watch the match tbh but I heard he played ok and think he may be better suited to centre half? With hindsight though in fairness, I think Morgan would perhaps be the better option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your going with this formation it would have to be Thomas ahead of Fuchs, poor old Fuchs hasn’t got the legs for a LWB role. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go with these 3 at the back then I would go with Castagne and Thomas as wing backs. Big call but a chance for Thomas to step up. Fuchs not really ideal for the wing back role nowadays.

CloudFox Posted 26 September 2020 Share Posted 26 September 2020 With no strikers, surely they'll play Sterling up front with Mahrez and Torres flanking him. So we'll need pace in that back line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 26 September 2020 Share Posted 26 September 2020 I'd be tempted with 3-5-2 as well, but can't decide over Barnes up top with Vardy or Iheanacho. I thought Iheanacho was really good vs these at our gaff last season in a similar system where we went direct and got the ball in to him to hold up and interchange with Vardy and the overlapping players.

fox_up_north Posted 26 September 2020 Share Posted 26 September 2020 I'd play Nacho. He's better at the link up, with Barnes coming on as impact sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blabyboy Posted 26 September 2020 Share Posted 26 September 2020 I wouldn't mind either, you could drop Barnes over to the left in this one with a middle five, but he'd need to do a lot more running backwards to help out. We need to keep the front two in touch so there are the opportunities to pass and run through their backline rather than hoofing over all the time for a lonely Vardy to try and latch on, and either run or hold for everyone to catch up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazly Posted 26 September 2020 Share Posted 26 September 2020 If we find its Barnes, Justin and Mahrez on our left then its only a question of how many goals we concede. So, hopefully Justin will be on the right, protected by Castagne leaving Soju to muscle Mahrez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 26 September 2020 Share Posted 26 September 2020 The idea of playing three at the back against them fills me with nerves. Offer them all that space in behind down the flanks and they will punish us - KDB will love it sliding passes between the CB’s and wing backs - so you have to play a back 5 with your wing backs as full backs - and then you are simply playing attack v defence for 90 mins and the midfield you have out there will not thank you (neither will vards). I would prefer a back four and a five in front of them .....if we make the game as intense as possible then their fitness may not be where it needs to be and they dont have a deep bench quality wise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him start if we are playing a back 3. I wish the lad well,but he can get experience at somebody else's expense on loan. There is no possible combination that I'd involved him with the first team this year, apart from the sort of injury crisis of last season where, literally, he was the last man standing.

What does a back three achieve other than disrupt any attacking threat we have, Soyuncu becomes a mess and we end up with a full back at right centre back, never worked last season and isn't going to this season. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
