It hasn't stopped Rodgers putting Perez out as a wide right forward when he's anything but. Maddison has recovered from his injury and shown what he can do in both the cup and cameo sub appearance against Man City. Maddison is creative and makes things happen so against a team that is going to apply a deep block and look to hit us on the break, having all of our technical players on the pitch isn't the worst idea in the world. We want creativity and players that can finish against such a team, and Maddison can do both. Plenty of fans on here wouldn't have put Daniel Amartey in as RCB or James Justin into the team as left wing back, but it worked out pretty well against Man City. So perhaps we should entertain such ideas more often... Alternatively if Under is match fit and gets a full week of training under his belt he could start in that position too. But I think we will go Maddison for 60 and Under for 30 assuming Praet isn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin we knew could play that position as he had done before and Amartey at RCB was a position he would have played at International level. Amartey was a surprise as he is very much a steady Eddie in midfield and having been out for all this time he acquitted himself well. Playing Perez wide Right has not turned out to be a great success and splits this forum in respect of money well spent. Maddison out wide has not been a success and stifled the team when played in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted 28 September 2020 Share Posted 28 September 2020 I'm going to assume that Evans and Praet are out for this one so I think it will be three at the back, not through choice but because we don't have a partner for Cags. I was pleased for Amartey at the weekend but putting him in a two scares me. It seems that Morgan isn't trusted because he has just turned 103 but we have little choice so i'm going to go: Schmeichel Amartey Cags Morgan Castagne Justin Mendy Tielemans Maddison Barnes Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaijaFox Posted 29 September 2020 Share Posted 29 September 2020 West Ham will be buzzing after their emphatic win this past weekend. However, they have a midweek game (Carabao Cup) v Everton, which could somewhat disrupt their prep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Posted 29 September 2020 Share Posted 29 September 2020 I would be very surprised if we went with the same formation as we did at Man City. Brendan has already admitted he was reluctant to do defensive, I reckon he will want a really attacking lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose2010 Posted 29 September 2020 Share Posted 29 September 2020 can see us reverting back to the Burnley formation Schmeichel Castagne Evans Soyuncu Justin Mendy Tielemans Maddison Perez Vardy Barnes Ward / Morgan / Under / Iheanacho / Fuchs / Albrighton / Choudhury Maddison to come in if Praet is injured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham have the distraction of a game on Wednesday (even though they likely will not field all their regulars) and many here are still pessimistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this, Tielemans and Mendy worked really well together, Mendy is nowhere near as good as Ndidi at being a solo destroyer he needs players close to him to pass to and work with. Tielemans looks better as a traditional midfielder not going too far forward and that gives Maddison the freedom to find space. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
