markjazzbassist Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 The soft schedule continues with Burnley at home. We had 34% possession last match and that won't work at home against Burnley. I am interested to see how Rafa sets us up and orders the players to play knowing Burnley will be sat back. Hopefully the knock DCL had isn't too bad and we get Mina/Godfrey/others back healthy.

Btay Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Think Rafa has shown some flexibility in tactics. I’d like a 4-3-3 with Dom, Richy and Gray encouraged to stay further forward. Would start Keane over Holgate because Burnley will look to hurt us at set pieces. Pickford coleman Keane Mina Digne Allan Doucoure Iwobi Gray DCL Richarlison If Godfrey is fit, wouldn’t mind him in for either CB or even a RB to add height.

Finn balor Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Think Townsends work rate allows coleman to get further forward. He looks great at the minute London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 This would actually be a good game for James to play as we should actually see more possession, they're the only team in the league that have less possession than us! However I don't see that happening. We had 65% possession last season but put in a poor performance in a 2-1 defeat after being 2 down in 25 minutes. In that game Holgate was right back but Coleman came on and made a big difference providing us some attack on the right. The difference between then and now so far as the right side goes is then we had Davies playing out on the right while now we'll have more attacking intent and pace from Townsend. We were also missing Doucoure on that day actually I don't even want to compare the two sides as we played such a dire sluggish performance in that game and I'd expect a lot more pace and energy here. Pickford Holgate/Godfrey Keane Mina Digne Allan Doucoure Townsend Richarlison Gray DCL Gone with the attacking pace, Richarlison just in behind DCL and Gray and Townsend on the wings. Doucoure box to box getting stuck in all over again. If Godfrey is fit I'd like him to be playing, either in Centre back or right back. McNeil on their left is the main concern so I'd probably favour Godfrey as the better defender of the two even if he's not as comfortable pushing up the wing on that side.

Bailey Posted September 7, 2021 Report Share Posted September 7, 2021 Kenny must be penned in to start this game, otherwise there was no point in keeping him. He would have had suitors being on a low wage and low transfer fee. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just been onto the fantasy Football site and if you try to sign him it tells you he has 75% chance of playing. No injury given it just says lack of match fitness. So I don't know what's going on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted September 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Let’s see if Rafa can play attacking ball good test. I think it will be a full draw but hoping he proved me wrong and can play something other than defend and counter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWooney Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 fuckin hell lads, 3 minutes of training video and we've drawn conclusions on the fitness of our squad!! Rondon didn't look the most eager trainer, I'd imagine he'll get some game time on Monday but not a massive amount. James probably happy to have another Spanish speaking South American to joke around with, him and Mina always seem like their having a great crack. plaidharper and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video is a longer look, not just a snippet of him warming up, it's a little bit of everything. At the end of it he's clearly knackered, and throughout you can tell he's struggling. As his eagerness goes. I don't see how anyone can judge he's not trying based on the video, he's not given up and he's forcing himself to try and keep up.
