Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Thauvin for Dummet then a 4-3-3 would have been the only changes I would have liked from that. All about attitude now - we had a strong enough team against Cardiff 2 years ago but you could see that the instruction had been to coast in that game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 From what I've seen of him Mbabu will make a class wing back. Shame colback replaces him midweek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Looks like he's using the game to test something new, quite positive outside of Thauvin still not playing. But I suppose he's hardly a wing back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Looks like he's using the game to test something new, quite positive outside of Thauvin still not playing. But I suppose he's hardly a wing back. We played three at the back to counter Watford's tactics and it worked pretty well. I suspect it's just for this game, although no Ighalo might make it redundant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Quite shocked at that team but absolutely buzzing we've shown at least the intent. Still probably go out like but it's step in the right direction putting out a strong line up. Happy to see Mbabu back in, but he should be cover for Janmaat rather than our left hand side attacking fullback, albeit Haidara is injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Absolutely love that team! At last something different. The midfield with Sissoko and Wijnaldum pushing forward to support Perez and Mitrovic could be amazing. Dummett as one of the three centrebacks also puts him in his stronger position, and the balance of the back three looks really good. Happy for Mbabu too. He bombed forward amazingly well at left back, and should do even better as a left wing back. Pretty excited now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 He's shown he can put in a good performance at centre back. At left back he has never looked convincing IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Christ, nearly playing a full 11 in their proper positions? Mental. Happy to see Perez and Mitro up top too Not surprised Thauvin isn't starting like, apparently not McClaren's favourite person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Man ... this is a huge game. If we look great and hopefully win, it could start the process of hopefully changing to a different midfield. Really need that midfield three to be amazing, so it will finally click for McClaren to play Sissoko and Wijnaldum central. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I was really hoping to see Thauvin and De Jong to get a start but at least he's really going for this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Could argue Thauvin in for Mbabu/Dummett like. In fact, no argument from me, that should happen. Didn't Marseille play 3 at the back with Thauvin on the flank? So it's not like he's alien to working hard backwards either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to see Perez and Mitro up top too If we don't look great going forward today, I will be so disappointed. Mitro and Perez, with Wijnaldum and Sissoko pushing forward from central areas should be mouth watering stuff. Let's see if we manage to somehow screw it up.
