Gallowgate End Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 This is arguably the 3rd toughest away game we could face they’ve won their last 9 home matches in a row I’d be interested to see us just for this match make the adjustment Nuno Santo made to their 3-4-2-1 formation which was to add an extra man to the midfield. Reason being Perez still hasn’t scored away in the league this season and with Shelvey being back we could play that extra man in middle like Wolves have done so well. It would free up Almiron more to play in the number 10 role too having him play in those central spaces behind Ramsey and Xhaka is an area he could really exploit. Especially if we can get Shelvey back in the team to supply Almiron the passes. Slight adjustment I’d like to see..

thenige Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Last couple have been tight 1-0 defeats, expect Monday’s game to be very much along those lines. Although hopefully with Almiron we can stretch them on the break a bit better than we have previously. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I’d be concerned with Fernández in the team. Looked rusty as fuck against Bournemouth. Lascelles is back fit so play Lejeune in Schär’s place and bring Dummett in to the left of Lascelles. As we'll no doubt be playing on the counter. Shelvey should play as we're gonna heavily reply on balls through for Rondon and Almiron. Hayden still doing enough to keep his place. Diame might be an option to bring on if we’re trying to hang on to something? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribesman Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Lejeune on the right side when playing 3 at the back would be a disaster. We should just go with 4-2-3-1 and pair Lascelles and Lejeune together until Schar comes back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clark ahead of Dummett for me though if he does play there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roles across the back three are very different, and in football at this level they are basically entirely different positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 My memory is a bit fuzzy, but didn't lascelles get dropped last season for arguing with rafa about which position in the back 3 he should play? Doubt it would have bothered him so much if they were all the same Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye the times I’ve seen him on the right of a 3 he has been poor. Chelsea away game I thought he was horrific and against Bournemouth his positioning for the Fraser counter when they hit the post was really poor. For me Lascelles has looked best in the centre of a 3 and Lejuene has looked most comfortable on the left of the 3. For those reasons I wouldn’t want either moved and definitely not just to find a place for Dummett Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
