TRon Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 4 hours ago, Optimistic Nut said: He's played there for England, Krafth is at least a natural right-back even if bang average. I'd be happier with him as right-back for this game and Trippier in a position he knows rather than persisting with Ritchie as a left-back. I would personally go horses for courses and go with 3 centre backs and use Ritchie and Trippier as wing backs. 5-3-2 might not be Eddie's preferred formation, but it probably suits the players we've got to pick from for this fixture anyway.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Not sure about Ritchie. Wasn’t he a yellow waiting to happen when we played them down there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I also think Miggy is playing his way out of the team. Put Willock, Joe and Knobhead in the middle with ASM off of Wood Trippier on the right, Radgie on the left and then whatever is available in the back 3.

Funnily enough I was also thinking that Willock would be one of my three midfielders, he might enjoy having a target man to work off. Also I would definitely sack off Almiron from anywhere near the starting line up. Great minds think alike! I just think put as many goals in the first 11 as possible, and the three centre backs should give us some insurance at the other end. We can play the more progressive formations once we've got players capable of executing them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Dubravka Trippier Schar Lascelles Ritchie Shelvey Longstaff Fraser Joelinton ASM Wood As it stands for Saturday. Longstaff and Ritchie are particularly revolting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It aint perfect but it isnt Ritchie I would rather an unfit dummet at left back than Krafth. I would only ever play Krafth in a back three (he is gash). Also, Take into consideration that our left back will be left totally open by ASM, we need a good/competent defender in there... Trippier on left and Murphy right in a back four (good attacking intent with Lascelles and schar in middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longstaff and Ritchie are particularly revolting. Longstaff upped his game against ManU then was stinking against Cambridge. I so want him to be good because he has to be in the team given Hayden's injury and Hendrick being garbage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a dream the other night that Murphy crossed from the right near the line halfway between goalpost and corner flag and cut it back to Wood who scored with a header. So, that’s gonna happen.

Lush Vlad Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I think I'd play Willock ahead of Longstaff, if we are going with a midfield 3. But at present, that is like saying would you rather eat a dog shit sandwich or a cat shit roll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Willock running onto knock downs from Wood better than Longstaff but he’s been equally woeful recently. Maybe Longstaff can pull a Man U performance out of his arse 🤞 Edited January 13, 2022 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longstaff and Ritchie are particularly revolting. Which is why I would go for 3 centre backs to cover the far post where Ritchie is always found wanting, and the 3 man midfield to get Longstaff out of there.
