Nowt wrong with it depending on the player. fwiw I don't think either of our CHs are capable of playing in midfield. I did query Schars ability to be effective in a 4 mind you.

Ben Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Interesting options for Howe if Botman is out tomorrow, easiest is Lascelles but he could go Burn then play Trippier and Livermento full backs or just Burn and Targett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Easiest would surely be Burn slotting in at LCB and Targett at LB? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Burn and Schar central. Trips in either left or right. Hall left if Trips is right. If Trips is left then Livramento right. Anderson for Joelinton. Wilson for Miggy and play Gordon there. Isak and Wilson left and central. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Howe won’t want to much disruption to the back 4, think it will be Lascelles in for Botman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Id argue this is the type of match to make some refreshments. But also can see him playing super safe too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be incredibly surprised if he does that because it will mean putting either Schar or Lascelles on the wrong side. Much more natural to just bring Burn in as a natural LCB and pick between Targett and Hall (probably the former) as the LB, especially given those three played together for about five months straight in 2022.

STM Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I think Botman will play. Howe said Botman is doubtful, which is the biggest indicator that he's absolutely fine. If Joelinton and Botman are missing, it must be Anderson and Targett. Lascelles can't play LCB, nor can Schar and as far as I can remember Howe has never done that. ... and on Anderson, if you are picking Longstaff LCM over him (or shifting Tonali to accommodate Longstaff) what's the point in Anderson not going out on loan? He had a class pre season... play him. When Willock gets back, it's not going to get any easier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I’d be playing Anderson over Longstaff all day long at the moment. Personally think Anderson deserves a lot more minutes than he’s had but I wouldn’t drop Bruno, Joelinton or Tonali so it’s just a shit situation for his development here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Path of least resistance imo. Lascelles straight in for Botman. That way no one else has to be unsettled. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 When did RCB and LCB become a thing, out of interest? Feel like Schär would be absolutely fine at LCB if Botman is out and Howe wants to keep Burn at LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
