Notice my line up goes from a back 5 to a back 4. Shelvey doesn't fit. If he were to pay I'd be playing him behind Wilson
Why change the Brentford side? Just put Dubs in and win the game on Tuesday. We had 52% possession.. Jesus it's like everys forgot Arsenal are 4th.. They look a very very good side just lack the strikers imo
Because I think a back 4 would be better. With the 3 centre backs we need at least one capable of directing the defence as it is we don't and so they are at sixes and sevens. With 2 centre backs they'll have the zones and relatively speaking stick to them. I'd have Hayden (I know @Ben 10 ) sitting in front of them but he's not allowed over the half way line.
You think but you don't know... I would personally just pick the side that would've destroyed Brentford If Dubs was in. This is no time for trying something new
You think but you don't know. I would personally pick the team I've highlighted. This is the time to change
I’m not keen on a change in formation. If Howe thinks it’s a good idea so be it but I’d just keep on the path for now. I’d tweak the personnel instead and ignore the Arsenal result. They’re a good side. If instead we remove Darlow, Lascelles from Brentford side, bringing in Fernandez, Dubravka. That just leaves Kraft or Clark, meh brown dog ****, white dog ****, it’s still ****. We just need to be a little better than we were against Brentford and we should have a good chance of winning.
I’d take Willock out, not shelvey. My basic preference is identical to DPP with this one exception, and going 433 or 4231. That said, a 343 with maybe Hayden, Fede and Schar could be useful, with Almiron, Shelvey, Willock and Fraser behind the front three.
For two reasons I see this game as the one where we get some indication of how good or bad we are. Personally it’s a must win game for moral and for points. A defeat would be a huge blow. I think we will win. I also think 4-3-3 should be dropped as a formation. The main reason is the midfield being over ran. It’s slightly different so I would go 4-5-1.

Why's everyone so keen to get Hayden in? We had 52% ball and 23 attempts vs Brentford.. Play the same side but put Dubs in seems sensible
I still don't get how people can't see he's absolutely useless like Can't play the same side with Ritchie and the big stiff idiot banned luckily
Yes that's a bonus... If we get lacelles, ritchie (hate saying that but he's no left back) Hayden and Krafth replaced we'll be improved overnight
I think Hayden is ****. But in a midfield 5 you need a defensive minded option. That’s why we where cut open in the last two games. With ease!
So how would having that clown giving the ball away and giving free kicks away all game have improved that?
They had 4 shots on goal 9 in total (less than half we had on theirs) Darlow is just **** he cost us the points
