Jobyfox 1,153 Posted 24 January Report Share Posted 24 January (edited) At some point in the future we could have four full backs who are better than Chilwell. I'd take a prime Fuchs over Chilwell as well. Mad to think we're in this position after selling BC for £50m Edited 24 January by Jobyfox Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UHDrive 746 Posted 12 February Report Share Posted 12 February Thomas isnt quick enough against liverpool in a back 4. We need to go to a back 3 with him being a wing back with cover behind and with ndidi next to him. It's the business end of the season now and I wouldn't leave things to chance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Against the liverpool front 3 they'll tear him apart especially on the side where Salah plays in thomas's patch. JJ would've covered that side if he wasnt injured. RP doesn't play LB and Castagna is injured. Fuchs isnt quick enough either. The only saving grace is Evans/Soyuncu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hes not slow, I don't know why our fans think he is. Stats wise he's right up there in our squad. He maybe doesn't have the turn of pace of Ricardo or the sheer speed of JJ but he's a lot quicker of our player. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the team as whole is awful with three at the back. We're left short in midfield, somehow more open at the back. The lesser risk is putting Thomas up against Salah imo, because he might just play a blinder and keep him quiet, where as 3 at the back is the bigger risk as its just asking the whole Liverpool team to rip us apart. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Better to have a more mobile midfield, we've far more choices there at the moment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're right, it isn't an easy one is it but however they play it, they'll have either a weakened defence with midfielders in it (weakening their midfielder which has been their problem lately) or, play two new central defenders who are unfamiliar with each other. It's just that last time we seemed to sit back and let them over-run our midfield where we were outnumbered and attack us at will. They had a totally makeshift defence that day and we didn't even lay a glove on them, we showed them far too much respect, sat deep and relied on the odd hoofed ball to try and counterattack following lots of side to side and backwards passing, Liverpool just pressed and picked us off. Tielemans is an outstanding player but is what he is and is pretty pointless and inactive without Ndidi bedsides him who allows him to play, so the calls by some to play Ndidi as an extra centre half, robs us of our best midfielder and negates Tielemans. It would be wave upon wave attack against us. I might even consider Choudhury to Mendy on this occasion, their feathers need to be ruffled from the start. Plus, no Perez at any cost, it would be worse than playing with 10 men with him contributing little and giving the ball back to the opposition. I'd go: Schmeichel, Ricardo, Evans, Soyuncu, Thomas, Tielemans, Ndidi, Albrighton, Barnes, Maddison, Vardy. With consideration perhaps for even Choudhury for Albrighton but not sure. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
