MrRaspberryJam Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) It’ll be Lascelles for Botman and that’s it. If you move Burn inside and put a new LB in that’s another change to the back four. Lascelles for Botman would be minimum disruption.

I will be surprised if Howe does something that he's never done before like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like Schär would be absolutely fine at LCB if Botman is out and Howe wants to keep Burn at LB. Started in the 1950's I think. Not all teams have cared about It though, some do and some don't Usually the teams that do care about it are more successful.

I think more over, its more the idea that Howe will "dabble" with something he has never done or at least not done in the best part of 18 months. It's Lascelles/Schar for RCB slot and Botman/Burn for LCB. Both young Murphy and Dummett will be seen as last resorts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would only start like that if he only had Schar and Lascelles available. He's quite happy to be fluid with certain players like WIllock and Joelinton in other areas but he will not fuck around with the defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also exactly how the squad was depicted on the transfer targets slide in the documentary. Burn gets moved over, Targett comes in. As I said on the previous page, it's the same trio that played together every week during the second half of 2022. It's much less disruptive and much more intuitive than bringing in Lascelles and forcing either him or Schar onto their wrong side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitley mag Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Feels like a big game this, everyone talking about the CL but this is the bread and butter. Last weeks loss will have hurt psychologically, it’s important we get some momentum in the league before CL games kick in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 If Joelinton is out I hope we push Bruno further forward. I'd like to see Tonali play the deeper role and see how the dynamic is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Hate to say this but I’d be more confident in trippier at left back than Targett. Think he’s completely lost the edge he used to have pre injury. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Trippier who's played a whole 10 games at LB in his whole career for clubs and country. I'll take Targett at his natural position instead thankyou Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking at a very ordinary league placing if we lose this mind even this early We’re not like. Three points from four games doesn’t fill anyone with confidence, but in terms of game difficulty those two away and two home games are some of the toughest of the season.

Whitley mag Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 If Joelinton is out I’d love to see Miley anchor the midfield with Bruno and Tonali. It’ll be Longstaff no doubt but think Miley looks so good on the ball we’d be dominant in possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe_next_year Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I know Miley impressed in pre-season, but there is a massive difference between that and a premier league game. Wouldn't want to throw him in the deep end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
