    I don't subscribe to either of those sides being two of the best. Chelsea aren't that great and Man U were missing at least 5. Both are better than us, mind, so I get what you're saying, but we've played sides "in and around us" and were VERY lucky to get 2 points from Norwich, Brighton and Watford.

    I'm not talking about pretty patterns. What I'm looking at is our problems, which include:

    1. Isolated striker.
    2. Outnumbered in midfield.
    3. ASM running out of steam.
    4. Ineffectual Almiron
    5. Very, very low shots on target.

    What I'm proposing is going with two up front, including ASM, to address (1) & (3), putting Almiron in midfield to sort (2) & (4) and just changing it slightly whilst retaining the majority of the defensive shape to try and influence (5).

    Tottenham AWAY
    Chelsea AWAY
    Leicester AWAY
    Liverpool AWAY

    man united
    arsenal


    6 of our 9 games we would expect to lose

    we've played 3 winnable games so i'd argue 9 points would be great start and oh we have 8 !

    You know nothing about football and that's the main issue ! then you have no memory !!!you're both like a bee at window and will clearly never remember anything!

    this is the same argument as we had this time last year! we had a tough first quarter of fixtures and people starting saying rafa needs to change this and change that !, however he stuck to his game plan and low and behold we started picking up points and went on from there, while other managers panicked around him.. I have explained the reasons . You're explanations are based on a fantasy formation you have slapped together in your mind and you are not using any common sense ! sadly that's not how things work at this level .

    ps we also went into the easier fixtures with a better goal difference than those around us and it counted as a point all season , however because bruce tried a different system vs Norwich and Leicester we got thumped and now go into the easy fixtures with a worse goal difference than those around us



    have a nice day

    No, not just random numbers but the formation we should try.
    Dubravka
    Schar - Lascelles - Clark
    Yedlin - The Two Brothers - Willem
    Almiron
    Joelinton - Twinkle toes.

    Is Lejeune back fit?

    As for Carroll, who really cares?

    If Schar is out, wonder if Clark to the right, Dummet left with Lascelles in the middle of the back 3 is worth a go if Lejeune isn't ready.

    So Gayle and Muto up top, with Big Joe on the bench taking Carrol's impact sub spot?

    It's the strike force no one would expect, one prefers to be in the box the other runs around and never gets near the box! If you add AS-M and Almiron into the mix - there's no end product from any of them - but they'd be hard to mark. Defenders would be knacked trying to keep up with their movement, leaving space for them to ....fluff their opportunities.

    there's no end product because we don't create enough chances and muto is worse

    Looks like defensive changes needed. Schar out injured and Sick note (Carroll ) is out with a groin strain.

    Just out of interest, who is Twinkle Toes?

    Are you referring to the big disabled guy, the toothy goon or the malfunctioning oriental?

    EDIT: ah do you mean ASM? He'll play behind the striker surely?
