Keegans Export Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 2 minutes ago, David Edgar said: Hall LCM 1 minute ago, Ikon said: My guess is that it will be just Hall replacing Joelinton with Burn playing LB. This is what I reckon too. Having Burn at LB gives the extra height for set pieces, Hall is a solid defensive option and is comfortable on the ball, gives us a bit of control. Could allow Gordon a bit of freedom too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 2 minutes ago, SUPERTOON said: On his current form, anyone down that side will give him trouble. I only really tend to worry about him going up against speed in open space or crosses coming in from the opposite side, with him having to challenge a bigger stronger player for a header. We've got an extra centre back in there and Arsenal aren't very direct or quick in getting the ball forward in general. Guess we'll see how it goes, but I'm hopeful.

TRon Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Quite fancy Hall playing as a wing back/LM tbh, it means we keep our balance. I'm a bit more worried about Trippier down the other side though, he could be vulnerable if he gets caught up the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesmcc222 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 1 minute ago, Checko said: Actually think 3 CBs suits our squad well, particularly with our attack-minded FBs. No Tino on the bench means I presume he's injured/sick. Realistically the game was always highly likely to be a bit back and forth in the first 20 mins before gradually settling to them camping in our half, us being unable to play out of defence and relying on immediate long balls down the channels to generate any kind of threat, with the second half just being us booting it straight back to them and sitting in a low block. Might as well start with the extra CB. Plus helps defend corners with no Big Joe. Yep agree. Once we are leading Joelinton basically plays as a left sided centre half supporting Hall anyway. So given he can’t do that may as well have a centre half do it, who can also support from corners, rather than a midfielder not used to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago The way we’ve been cut through lately 5 at back probably smart for the game. Height and experience. Hopefully crowd respond to defensive play as much as they do attacking. Early signs in the ground good 🤞🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see you post again! With them having a large away section that will encroach into the usual Level 7, I reckon you could easily walk straight past a useless Steward tbh. But you would probably be predominantly in the family enclosure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Burn v Martinelli is far from ideal I think Trippier and Hall will tuck into midfield at times in possession. But Hall won’t be playing there in a 4-3-3 I wouldn’t have thought.
