----------Boruc----------- -Clyne-Fonte-Yoshida-Fox ----------Morgan----------- ------Davis--Lallana---- -Mayuka--------Rodriguez ----------Lambert----------- Can't drop Rodriguez after scoring, tempted to have lallana left wing with reeves centrally but didn't see the full game against leeds so can't say if he played well enough to overtake JWP and Davis. That's a fairly attacking lineup but that's what we are best at and as we saw with Mayuka on that the opposition was much less likely to bomb forward down the flanks. I think our biggest problem has been that the fullbacks have had to defend against too much. To mitigate this problem there needs to be more midfield protection for the fullbakcs but equally the wingers need to carry more of an offensive threat. I am predicting another loss. But we have the quality to beat west brom, our defenders are capable of marking attackers I am sure of it. If they start to pick up their men not let them get goal-side and close down quicker we will win.
Pretty much agree with this, keep the back 5 the same, we need a settled back line. Stick with Davis but def drop Punch for Mayuka. Bench to be Davis, Hoiveld, Cork, Puncheon, Do Prado, Ward Prowse and Reeves.
-------------Gazzanigga-------------- Clyne----Fonte----Yoshida----Fox--- ---------------------------------------- --------Davis---------Schniederlin--- ---------------------------------------- Mayuka------------------------Lallana ---------Lambert---Rodriguez-------- On the bench: Boruc Hooivelt Richardson Cork JWP Puncheon Lee -------- I think Rodriguez has to be played up top and so does Lambert, so the 442 needs to be used
The main problem we have playing 4-3-3 is that we have 4 strikers, all of which are only effective playing as strikers. we only really have one winger in Puncheon.
