I’m not sure we have any plan to leave our own half to be honest - it doesn’t even look like we’ll be looking to counter-attack because there is very little pace there. Im getting drunk. It’s the only solution. 5:30am here and I’m about to Irish up this coffee! Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunlopp9987 Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 On the plus side, they're missing 3 of their 4 most dangerous players in attack. Jimenez, Adama and Podence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuno probably the same. Carlo obviously doesn't think Tosan is strong enough as a lone striker to win and hold the ball up. Fair do's in not just picking him as he's just the only recognised striker. Definitely a game of keeping it 0-0 as long as possible and maybe try and nick the win at the end. With both DCL and Richarlison not available and away to Wolves I would take nicking a win in the last quarter now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryj Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Tosun probably pleased. He looked like he wouldn’t be able to walk for a week after playing 120 mins at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggytop Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Can’t get my head around how we will line up, Iwobi and Siggy front two? iwobis pace driving at the defenders and Siggy strolling behind thinking what’s for tea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRob Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Don't see the formation as shown on the BBC - think it will be out solid trusted flat back four of centre backs and something else in front of it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 The bench looks stronger than the actual team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisk Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Iwobi runny around like a headless thing I'd imagine up top. Perhaps its time for us to try the false 9 approach Digne - LW, James RW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 That line up scares me! I would guess at more of a 532 (Iwobi and James up front). The old false 9 thing doesn't really work if you don't have others stretching the pitch and we literally have no-one else doing that. If we are playing with wing backs then I have no idea why Holgate is one of them. It should be someone who can attack better than him.

Bailey Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 If it is 433 or however you would like to describe our normal formation, it would be very odd playing Digne as the winger when there will be no-one in the box to cross to.

Well that’s normally what it’s like when Tosun is in the role so maybe Carlo has just loaded the midfield in preparation of it coming back...

Btay Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 At the end of the day, our best back up striker is also our starting winger. Never a great thing that incase both are out. We are going to keep it tight and try and Knick of goal to the end when Richarlison comes on. I do however expect this team to keep some possession and move the ball around.

That's why I see it as the flat back four who did so will in December - Holgate wouldn't be used as a wing back. Iwobi or coleman would do that. We will soon find out!!

markjazzbassist Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 carlo knows what he's doing. also Wolves play that 3 at the back thing so maybe it's tactical to nullify their formation. i'm not worried COYB let's kick their asses Zoo 2.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been mixing into a back 4 more this season and it looks it again today. They only have one recognised centre back though. Edit: No they don't, I missed a player!
