Guess at shape: ------------Mig------------ -Toure-Skrtel-Agger-Sakho- -------Lucas-Gerrard------- Henderson-Aspas-Moses---- ----------Sturridge---------
I'd say that's right and thinking about it Saints like to counter, with that formation it's a flat back 4 and surely set up to stop counter attacks. We should be a threat from set pieces. #Stoketactics
First things first, four centre backs My guess at the line-up would be Toure at RB and Agger at LB: Toure - Skrtel - Sakho - Agger However, I hope Sakho and Agger are the other way around. I would leave Skrtel in the middle, he was even worse at RB when he played there before. Plus, he'd be between toure and Agger who can keep him in check.
curious to see if this how this CB thing would work... if it does at all, but I imagine Toure and Sakho being the ones on the side, but considering our usual side involves Johnson and Enrique playing very high up, there must be some change in style. Would also have liked to see Alberto but that may be just because I havent seen him much yet
I hope he's not! He's actually a good CB with the right partner to be the vocal one leaving him to just do his job. Positionally, he's terrible at RB whereas Toure is competent there. Interesting to see Enrique dropped in favour of a main position CB but secondary LB and likewise, Kelly not selected instead of another CB. We should be dangerous from set pieces at least.
-----Mig----- ----Toure---- Skrt--Agg--Sakh ----Lucas------ Aspas----Moses ----Gerrard----- ----Sturridge---
What if BR has gone crazy and he's trying three at the back? Hendo and Sakho as WBs? Migs Toure - Skrtel - Agger Henderson - Gerrard - Lucas - Sakho Aspas - Studge - Moses
I thought there mightve been a chance for 3 at the back but that wouldve suited Enrique perfectly IMO, wouldnt understand Sakho ahead of Enrique if that was the case
Yep, agree with that. Plus, Sakho could have played alongside Lucas then allowing gerrard to push forward into the AM role.
