RowlattsFox Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 (edited) Glad we've gone back 4, although it could easily slip into an Albrighton wing back. Doesn't show much faith in Thomas though. An attacking full back is needed with Albrighton for him to be effective going forward. Edited 13 February 2021 by RowlattsFox

In fact I think we played that way the last time we played against Liverpool? What could possibly go wrong?
RowlattsFox Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 People always question the formation but it's nearly always how its listed on the teamsheet. It may become a back 5 but I think the intention will be a 4 to begin with. 2
Ashley Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 (edited) 10 minutes ago, StanSP said: I read it as Amartey right back and Ricardo left back, Soyuncu and Evans in the middle. Surely that makes more sense than playing Albrighton as wing-back? This. Albrighton right wing, Barnes left. Easily interchangeable to a 532 though. Edited 13 February 2021 by Ashley 2
Sunbury Fox Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 Really hope it's not 5 at the back but then what is more horrifying, Big Dan up against Mané in a back 4 or Albrighton at LWB up against Salah in a 5?! Given JJ's absence this shows how much we need Timmy back.

surrifox Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 We had a lot more success when Sean dealt with sorting the team out 4

I love your unrelenting optimism. I decided not to question anything today, I'm just going with my gut and having my money on Liverpool. If I lose £20 I'll be very happy 2

Popular Post mikey54 Posted 13 February 2021 Popular Post Posted 13 February 2021 So Amartey already favourite for today’s scapegoat 4 1
Mark Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 It has to be a back five, we can't have a right side of Amartey and Albrighton surely. 1
matty98 Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 3 atb against these won't work imo, if the wingbacks go forward, we'll be exposed defensively by Mane and Salah. If we sit back, we'll get torn apart by TAA again whipping in balls and have no width. 1
Super Shinji Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 Big Dan looked a bit nervous on the ball in the 1st half on Weds. He may have to be a bit sharper on his toes today. Any reason why we wouldn’t play Thomas instead on the left or is this so he can play 3 CBS?
dynamark Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 It appears Sean may no longer be with us (how strange) which may prove to be a blessing.

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 I think we will be so dependant on Barnes and Riccy having good games to get up the park quick. Plus we need Madders to stamp his authority on a BIG game. 2
sdb Posted 13 February 2021 Posted 13 February 2021 Best option for me (if it is 352) not that I'm confident either way. Let's hope they have another off day!!!
