Joelinton has looked fine on the left. So why not switch it up and lut him on the right. Well we have our answer.

 

We will see Fraser and almiron far too late.

 

Midfield is absolute dross.

Bruce manages to always find ways to put players in positions they are not as effective in.

And now another! Schar in midfield instead of Almiron or Fraser

Nap time for Hayden.

Can't even call this a 4-3-3 at all. It's a 4-5-1, and a very defensive one at that.

Has to take Joelinton off. He can't play so far out wide. Guy finally starts looking like he could build of something playing off Wilson, and Bruce has bottled it for no apparent reason.

The manager is petrified of any team with some kind of reputation. Even one badly off form. It's disgraceful.

My goodness. How isolated is Wilson

So we're playing the same players as last match except we've setup to give Wilson less support by moving Joelinton out right, and having Shelvey and Hendrick sit back miles away from Wilson.

This is just so bad man. Why not just leave it as it was for goodness sake. And if you're changing it to this setup then play Fraser or Almiron ahead of Joelinton. Joelinton on the right in this system doesn't make sense.

Kepa is one of the worst goalies I've ever seen

Cost them £72 million too

Reece James red card?! Sworn at the ref after the game. What an ass

What do folk think of Mason Mount?

 

Seems to be a favourite of Lampard and Southgate

Really shouldn't be used in wide positions IMO.

Far better as an attacking midfielder through the middle.

This system would look more interesting with a slight tweak to a 3-5-2 instead, and drop Rice for Grealish. Will also allow Philips to play a role more similar to the one he has at Leeds with two other central midfielders pushing forward ahead of him, and giving him more space to facilitate from deep.

 

---------- Philips --------------

 

--- Mount ------- Grealish ---

 

------ Kane --- Rashford ------

 

I think we should go for a 433 with the holding midfielder available to fill the 3rd CB role, or at least protecting the back 2 enough to allow the full backs to push on as if in central 3.

 

              Phillips

      Mount    Henderson

Sterling                Rashford

                Kane

 

Can obviously rotate platers in there depending on availability. Leaves room for Sancho, Grealish, Calvert Lewin etc. We have plenty of players to make that front 3 work. Central 3 maybe not so much. If we had an English Kante i think its be our best formation given our players. Nit really seen much if Phillips so jumping in the bandwagon a bit there.

Yeah, that would work too no doubt.

My suggestion was based off of if Southgate wanted to stick with a back 3.

Ultimately though, I think England should use 3 in central midfield.

The likes of Mount, Grealish, Henderson, Philips, Maddison, Barkley, Foden, Ward-Prowse and Winks can all feature in those central midfield positions.

Rashford man ... eurgh.

You can't play two defensive midfielders with 5 at the back. Makes no sense. Stupid from Southgate.

Yeah, against Belgium I thought it was just due to their attacking threat.

To do it against Denmark is pretty strange to say the least.

Good for him. Well deserved.

Seems happy to just be able to play football without his attitude being questioned all the time.

Something the guy he looked up to Ben Arfa never could quite find unfortunately.

I'd not sign it unless the takeover happens.

 

What does he care. He should secure his future.

 

Just no.

 

With no takeover he should be looking for a way out.

this makes no sense.

He can still sign a new contract and double his salary, and still look to move should he wish even next window if clubs want him.

In a year he's gone from being considered a malcontent in France to being seen as a good performer in the premier league, and teams are still going to want him regardless of whether he increases his wage now or not.

He absolutely should get more money for himself if offered.

So he should turn down more money and wait until when to move elsewhere?

Can he not still move elsewhere on the same timescale whilst getting more money from this new contract.

You're not making any sense whatsoever.

I'd not sign it unless the takeover happens.

But none of you watch women's football anyway, right?

-Terrible owner that will never leave.

-Came close to winning it all in the 90’s but came up against a dynasty.

-Publicly humiliated team legends.

-Home stadium/area revered by many but is also charitable to opposition players. 

-Litany of awful managers/coaches/GM’s/DoF’s

-Supporters and local media regularly accused of being demanding.

 

We are the Newcastle Knicks.

 

100%

Ivan Toney's already got 3 goals in 4 games for them in the Championship too, and only cost them an initial fee of £5 million.

So already looking a quality replacement for Watkins at a tiny snip of the £30 million fee they got for him. Great stuff.

You people are actually stalking this man on social media, looking at and talking about his kids. You are sickos.

Greenwood and Tammy very strong possibilities to lose out going forward now due to silly decisions off the pitch. With Grealish and Calvert-Lewin benefitting instead.

Shinji Kagawa in talks with Leicester.

Interesting. Need a backup for Maddison when he is out. Solid move.

Why is Scott Parker a dimwit?  And why are you knocking Lampard already?

 

Saying Arteta has more about him than Lampard isn’t saying any more than I’d prefer Arteta to manage my team.

He will almost certainly prove to be a more successful manager too.

 

Scott Parker will be lucky to get another management job after he’s inevitably sacked before Christmas

My God

Scott Parker is 39 years old and just got Fulham promoted in his first full year as a manager.

- They got beat by 3 by Arsenal first game, which isn't a big disgrace.

- They lost 4-3 to Leeds which isn't looking like the worst result right now.

- They then lost by 3 to Aston Villa, which looked pretty poor at the time and is the one stand out bad result, but is another one that in hindsight looks a bit different.

- They then lost by a goal to Wolves, which isn't bad.

I could easily see us losing all of those games

They have also had issues bringing in the defenders they identified as their owner said, and it's clear that is where their team is particularly weak.

We'll see. Having watched a couple of their games this season, I think they will do a lot better if they can get better defenders in. They look just fine going forward and Lookman and RLC will only add to that.

Why is Scott Parker a dimwit?  And why are you knocking Lampard already?

They'll definitely beat us
