Last 2 times we've played then have been with a back 3 and we looked fine. Rice only had 40 touches of the ball when they beat us 1-0 at the Emirates.

54 Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 3 at the back with the 3 midfielders in front of them is solid as fuck like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory (so apols if skewed) but started as a right back, sometimes played CB and ended up in midfield. Just checked.

Mikky Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 If it’s Gordon and Big Nick - I can see Gordon high up and Nick dropping slightly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaj Posted September 28, 2025 Share Posted September 28, 2025 Would rather a 4-3-3 but trust Howe and will be interested to see how it works, as mentioned 5 at the back worked well against them last time so fingers crossed it does again. Does feel like a 0-0 or a 1-0 either way game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
