Holmesy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 1 minute ago, kingxlnc said: I'd actually like to see Almiron revived, perhaps Bruno coming in can do that. Bruno and Joe playing and protecting behind in a 4-2-3-1 Dubs Trippier - Schar - Burn - Targett Bruno - Joelinton ASM - Willock - Almiron Wood Ideally, Almiron would even play in the middle and there's someone who can come into play on the wing, whilst Willock's fresh rangy legs would be a great option from the bench. Wood would be a good hold up player for those runners from midfield to play into. If Howe can coach the terrible decision making out of Almiron he might still have a future here, but speed of thought and quick processing of situations isn't something that's easy to coach. My gut tells me he needs to play under a Hodgson/Rafa-type who will give him very clear instructions - run here, play this ball etc. Give him a longer leash and you get the Almiron we're seeing now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 With more pieces its harder to see what Eddie might do. Assuming no Lingard. If Lingard, sub him for Willock. Dubs Dubs Schar Lascelles Burn Trippier Lascelles Burn Targett Trippier Bruno Targett Bruno Willock Joe Willock Joe ASM Miggy ASM Wilson/Wood Wilson/Wood In the 433 Miggy might provide an effective outlet for Bruno. If we get Lingard maybe play him on the left instead of Miggy. The idea being Miggy/Lingard and Trippier can create an overload down the right.

I know Miggy hasn't looked affective when picked on the right, for Bruce. But I remember under Rafa he'd quite regularly break in that direction, giving him the opportunity to switch inside to his stronger foot. Bruno could release him into space in which to compose himself. I do hope we haven't seen the last of the smiler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll drop Shelvey and rightly so at the moment. He's involved in most of the goals we score (which admittedly isn't a lot) I think he'll go with Bruno behind Shelvey and Big Joe. Fraser seems undroppable at the moment as well, despite being crap, so i imagine he'll be on the right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 This could all change in the next 7/8 hours but assuming we get Burn and Targett in I'm happy with the look of the back 4. Trip Lascelles Burn Targett Obviously Schar or Fede would be preferable to Lascelles but he won't be dropped. The Midfield is the trickiest area to consider as we've only had Bruno come in and we definitely needed more in this area. Joelinton Bruno Shelvey That would be our most likely midfield 3, with Willock and Longstaff being rotated/subbed in for various games. The attacking front 3 is the most changeable (other than ASM). This is depends on Lingard coming in as I think he is a certain starter on the right if so. Lingard Wood/Wilson ASM Obviously Wilson starts ahead of Wood when he's back but who knows how many game Wilson will actually be able to play in the rest of this season. Almiron and Fraser could come in and player either side or its possible to switch to play with a 2 up top and 1 in behind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) Murphy in Fernandez out. Hope not on the Fernandez front. Murphy has been used though, with lingard falling through I can't see him being left out. Fuck knows who gets left out otherwise. Gayle makes sense except we have no other strikers while Wilson is out. I think it's between Gayle, dummett and Fernandez. Outside chance of Hayden if he is going to be out most of the season. Edit. Good calls on krath. Tough choices. To be honest I'd dump Gayle and gamble. Edited January 31, 2022 by toontownman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfcastle Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Murphy for Longstaff probably. There's 4 ahead of Longstaff in centre-midfield now 5 really now we can shift Schar there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I’d go: Goalkeepers: Dubravka, Darlow, Gillespie Defenders: Trippier, Manquillo, Krafth, Schär, Lascelles, Burn, Fernandez, Dummett, Targett Midfielders: Fraser, Murphy, Willock, S. Longstaff, Guimarães, Shelvey, Joelinton, Saint-Maximin, Almiron, Ritchie Forwards: Wilson, Wood, Gayle De-register Clark, Lewis, and Hayden. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Yeah you can't dump Murphy out. He is finally starting to show glimpses of ability, can cover a number of positions and has pace. Hayden if there is no one else. Injured but also has played like total shit even when he wasn't injured. Contributes nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Drop Krafth, Lewis and Clark IMO, we signed their 3 improvements. Wish we had Lingard rather than the option of Miggy or Fraser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Case to be made that 3-4-3 is the answer. Dubs Schar Fede Burn Trippier Targett Guimares Joelinton Fraser/Willock ASM Wood Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickKluivert Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 What I think is the most likely (not my preferred) team is:- Dubravka Lascelles Burn Trippier Targett Bruno Shelvey Joelinton ASM Fraser Wood Then Almiron, Willock as options off the bench… We need Wood to pull his weight and deliver some goals - and Bruno to make an immediate impact.

I would like to put Willock in instead of Fraser. Think he should play higher up the pitch, out on the right. If we could get him to play as he did last season it would be great.

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I think he sticks with the 4-3-3 now but has genuine options to go 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-3 if he wants to change it up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
