going 3 cbs with wingbacks might be an option. God knows but if we play with Murphy Krafth or Ritchie in a 4 we'll be getting beat again more than likely
I'm not sure breaking up the two cbs is a good idea personally. Ok we've got a problem at rb, but not in cb or cm and we could create problems in more areas than just rb. I'd just stock with what's, working and address the only hole that's already there
I'd steer clear of 3/5 at the back. in reality we need to bring in one player to replace Trippier and stick with the same formation/players who've done well so far. You'd either have to drop a CM or a winger to go 3 at the back and don't think any of them deserve to lose their place currently.
Yes I think I agree.. If you have a good bowl of soup and one ingredient is unavailable you just change one ingredient and you might not notice much difference but if you change 3 or 4 or you end up with a completely different bowl of soup. The current bowl of soup does the job.
Why couldn't it have been his first or second. So annoying. At least it wasn't 10th metatarsal or worse, mind.
Without our transformational leader, his ability, his confidence, his aura that spreads across the team, his reassuring presence on the pitch - all of which has brought belief to the rest of the players …. we’re going to evaporate. We’re going down now; it was a brief flirtation with hope. Could only happen to NUFC.
Seen a few people suggesting 5-4-1 (diamond) dropping Fraser and Maxi with a diamond of Willock, Joe Bruno AND Shelvey -------------Wood -------------Willock -------Joelinton--Bruno Targett--Shelvey--Fraser --Burn-Lacselles-Schar Interesting though! I'd have been thinking of 3-4-3 sacrificing a CM tbh or 3-5-2 to maintain the 3 in CM but a diamond is actually a really interesting idea... Joe and Bruno covering the lateral wide positions to support full back and Willock and Shelvey occupying the middle. A lot putting Murphy as FB but I'd go with Fraser as a WB and Targett on the other side if this is the way we go.
Do we not have an U23 RB or did we do the usual put him on the bench for a few weeks then loaned/sold him? We're going to get relegated and sell all our best players. It's not looking good.
