Nacho is quite flexable,being given sound tactics he works has a no10 or 8. He can hold up well when asked to…It’s inbred in forwards. I would go with Nacho too, but I highly doubt he will close down well, or block passing lanes. What he might add, is a bit more creativity, and even a goal or two, if he's in the right mindset. We are pretty much screwed in the right hand high eight position, until Ndidi or Ricardo are back. Especially with Praet now out as well, so Nacho is worth a go. I don't think Enzo will do that though. He will either move KDH over, and use Akgun in KDH position, as he did yesterday, or if McAteer is available, he will use him.

Paninistickers Posted 3 March Share Posted 3 March Good managers work with what they've got. And we urgently need a freshen up. CBA to think up of a formation but I'd be keen to bring Souttar, Doyle and Coady in for some muscle and freshness. Fatawu is too wasteful. Drop. Play Kels in a roving, wide ish second striker. All academic though. It'll be the same ol' same ol' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 3 March Share Posted 3 March (edited) It’s a perfect game for Sunderland though isn’t it? They’re in disarray on and off the pitch, so what do you need in times like that? Plucky old Leicester city to turn up to roll over and gift you three precious points. Edited 3 March by Pliskin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vazman Posted 3 March Share Posted 3 March The Team has to win this. Cant afford to be slow, half asleep, or miss any sitters / oppurtunities to score, everyone has to be on it, and pushing from the word go. This match is a season defining moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two in 13 for them. So they’re in rotten form. It’s a huge, huge game. Bristol strangely enough I think will get a result against Ipswich, so we need to win….. but above all we need a good performance, would be nice to blow someone away. But I’d take a scrappy 0-1 all day long. We can’t give them an inch. We’ve got to go there and get into them early doors so they crumble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 3 March Share Posted 3 March I rarely call for more Albrighton - he's well past it at this point. But this might be the time to go in that direction with Praet out. He can comfortably play on the right and get some crosses in, which is something we aren't getting much of from our other forward players. In a high-pressure situation like this his experience wouldn't be a bad idea either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think we look mentally shot (Enzo included). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Pen Posted 3 March Share Posted 3 March Must Win. Coady has to start. Everyone at Bournemouth should acknowledge the importance he played in that win! He needs to shepherd Faes and whoever gets the nod alongside him! Clean sheet should be a the priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see coaches use at EOS someone from left field… I have slagged Nacho off,but he could slip nicely into this. Ndid could well backfire,simply on game fitness. Ricardo no idea of his injury seriousness. Vesty comes back at the Weekend(I-think We ballsed up this W.E…. Now we really has a squad have to believe… I ain’t giving up,we still have a buffer.. Ipswich-Soton Leeds-Soton Something to hold onto… Whether we would of walked the championship, or scrape through won’t be defining.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban fox Posted 3 March Share Posted 3 March (edited) Coady, Albrighton and Vardy in for Nelson, mavadidi and Daka. Feel we need experience for this one. Marc will always put a shift in and can put early balls in for Vards, who despite what some say about being over the hill, was banging them in before his injury. Coady will steady the ship at the back and give Faes the opportunity to push on. Maybe Doyle for JJ too. We really miss Vesty's passing.

AKCJ Posted 3 March Share Posted 3 March Shape needs to change as a result of the fact we have no midfielders. I would play two strikers. More of a 4-4-2 out of possession with KDH dropping deeper.

No time to get major drills in training, all the 8's are injured, only 1 player who can play the inverted role left and he's played a tonne of football the last week or so, a defence that's become leaky and strikers that have forgotten how to score. Akgun and KDH together hasn't worked as well, so Enzo needs to find a solution there. KDH is horrible playing on the right of the pitch and we need him where he is strongest. Your line up is most likely the one but i don't like KDH and Akgun together. Could Nacho be squeezed into one of those positions? I very much doubt it unless he has done drills for it in training. Really interesting to see how this is dealt with, because our biggest issue is creativity through the middle in the final 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
