Yorkie Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Dubravka Krafth Lascelles Schar Murphy Trippier Shelvey Longstaff Joelinton Saint-Maximin Wood Or Dubravka Krafth Schar Lascelles Trippier Shelvey Fraser Longstaff Joelinton Saint-Max Wood Both should be enough to get a result against a dismal Watford side missing some key players. I really think, given that Lewis, Dummett and Manquillo are all out, we should stick Trippier over there rather than limit ourselves so horribly by putting Ritchie back in. Murphy's useful on occasion in that wing-back role and Krafth showed glimpses of improvement against ManU; both are more worthy of a place in the side than Ritchie.

I like the latter Yorkie, but would swap Trippier with Krafh, I would much rather we play our best players in position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trippier's always been very strong for England at LB, I don't think we'd be denying ourselves his talent by putting him on the other side; he's versatile. Hopefully Lewis comes back ASAP and continues his promise from a few games ago, really making LB his own. Otherwise it would be Manquillo. Dunno about putting Krafth there cos he struggles enough in his own position, but just not friggin Ritchie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Richie will start LB like, don't think he'll want two right footers on the left with Wood up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Yes. Let's hope so. Think Howe will get a response from the players. Similar to the Man Utd game after we got thras at Leicester and got beat at Liverpool. NWOAT by the way. Edited January 12, 2022 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Unless we went wing-backs and stuck in a third centre-back somehow, then I'd go Fraser LWB & Trippier RWB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It aint perfect but it isnt Ritchie Think Krafth behind ASM is probably the play, aye, as he'll be naturally more inclined to do his donkey work. It allows Trippier to be less concerned about that and more of an outlet on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Agree with Rich. Although I have a feeling Ritchie is going to start and we will be horribly exposed down that side. Edited January 12, 2022 by Lush Vlad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
