The undroppable Wout Faes

 

Must be impeccable in training.

I wonder if his contract says he plays when healthy.

The Cooper era is gone. But in many ways this selection reflects the paucity of our squad. 

Obviously the squad is not great but we're not helping ourselves by repeatedly selecting the wrong line ups. Surely if you've got one game in your charge, you go with an attacking line up and have a go FFS.

[Dahnsouff]

Lets see how they start positionally before seeing a bunch of names and crying. 3-4-1-2 was his thing I believe at PSV, this might be just part of Ruudifying the squad......

Just seen the lineup…. 
 

 

Really poor from our fan base. The word cooper is clearly not produced in the same perspective field of view as the other letters.  You must do better.

0-3 incoming. Dawson masterclass. 

Well at least that will be slightly better than his last outing as interim manager.

Soumare can be the ball carrier setting up off on attacks with his running on the left hand side 

Apart from 20 seconds against a 10 man Ipswich in the dying minutes he’s hardly shown that to be in his locker. 

 

As much as I would love him to prove me wrong and actually be good.  We know what he will do, float around, barely attempt a 50/50, watch players walk towards and pat him with the ball and then chase back and tackle from behind to give a foul away.

I only know Richard Dawson the great singer. He would be definitely better picking up a first XI for us. 

[FoyleFox]

It's an interesting selection... I'm leaving it at that 

[Dahnsouff]

Staggered no Dawson's Creek puns yet, maybe I missed it!

[adam]

No mavs is another crap decision. Set up like that is fair enough if you have some pace going forward.  He is gonna need to make a few changes if we concede an early goal.

i'm not so negative about this selection, its 3-5-2. with coady you get leadership, ayew as an anchor man up front. 

we know it wasnt working before so we need to try these things and see if it works, we can always change it up in the second half

I’d give it ten. 

[Jattdogg]

If we win this match with that setup I will block pornhub on my home network. I won't need to watch it anymore after seeing that sexy display.

[CloudFox]

That is a really weird line up. Maybe he's been told to rest players ahead of RVN's first game on Tuesday?!

The team maybe has a weird, voyeuristic fascination. In the same way a victorian freak circus had. Or those rows of pickled bottles on lab shelves with deformed foetuses. 

 

It's macabre. It's grotesque. It's beautiful!

Haha.. I thought I'd have to wait another six months befire l read the phrase "shelves with deformed foetuses" on FT! 🤣🤣

Maybe he’s had a week training with the team and believes these are the best players to make the most of his chosen tactics/formation 

[SecretPro]

The **** is that? Ben Dawson having a final dig before he gets the sack or something?

we are one of the favourites to go down, f we're to survive we need to try every option to see if we can't find a formula. We'll need all the players in the squad to play a part. I'd make sure we use at least 15 players every game, fitness and stamina is key, because we lack ability at Premier League level.

Well yes, that is the sensible take . I would love a Thomas and Soumare redemption arc. I miss when Thomas used to do those fun little cut back crosses.

Shit lineup ...Thomas, Soumare and Coady should be nowhere near the starting XI just shows how far we've fallen

Neither should Kristiansen either though. He’s dogs*it

[Vacamion]

 

 

Given the Ndidi has also played centre back, it could be 6-2-2.

Don't worry. He's not blocking Eporner.

Let's hope so, to be honest this coaching team need clearing out. It's been absolutely honking since day 1.
