KaKa Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago That's a heck of a wrinkle to throw at them. Going with the change in formation. I like it provided Isak looks to drop into space to help the midfield two out in our build up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Counter attack must be his game plan which could work. Just dont like the thought of arsenal having us hemmed In all match with the bombardment of corners and freekicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_n_white Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago My we’ll lose our 2 goal lead early in the game might be happening after seeing that team, odds in it goes pear shaped and we revert back to 433 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 2 minutes ago, St1pe said: Howe has shat the bed. I hope this works out for him but changing our style against a team well suited to breaking low blocks down when we’ve got a 2-0 lead seems beyond risky. We should just be getting after these, playing the way we do best. Just like against all the big teams we’ve pulled off big results at home against. Well suited to breaking low blocks down, just like they did in the away leg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfella Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Five at the back, midfield overran, conceding possession, chance after chance for Arsenal, Isak ploughing a lonely furrow up front. Wish I'd stayed at work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_R Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago 1 minute ago, Alberto2005 said: 3 at the back then, don't like that. Yeah I'm a big believer in playing your natural game, play to your strengths and make the opposition worry about you. This reeks of trying to defend for 90 minutes which is going to be grim to watch and if they score, we're fucked. Hope we offer a threat up the other end. 90 minutes with 10 men behind the ball is going to be a awful. Can imagine Arteta and Arsenal now think we're scared and will be well up for it knowing they can just send wave after wave against us. Hope I'm wrong of course. I'm an eternal pessimist.

Lenny Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Interesting lineup. At face value I worry about the centre of the pitch with only 2 there. Maybe Trippier and Hall invert dynamically to support and make a three with Gordon and Murphy dropping back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Never thought we’d see the day that he played a back 3 here, it’s a big call to make. I wonder how much Joelinton being out influenced his decision? Going to be interesting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
