itchen_dan Posted 29 September, 2012 Share Posted 29 September, 2012 (edited) I'm guessing the injury is Schneiderlin. Guessing we've gone back to the 4-3-3 with Davis, JWP & Lallana as the 3 CM's, Gaston wide left, Punch wide right and Lambert through the centre?

Guessing we've gone back to the 4-3-3 with Davis, JWP & Lallana as the 3 CM's, Gaston wide left, Punch wide right and Lambert through the centre? If Schneiderlin is injured it would make more sense to stick with the 4231 system they used in the last two games, then use the 433 which used Schneiderlin as the holding midfielder.

I dont agree with you. To go to Everton with just Davis and JWP as the CM's would be criminal IMO. Need 3 in there to combat Fellaini as the AM and whoever else is in CM. 3 CM's are required to give us that extra bit of support and energy. Gonna be a long afternoon otherwise.

itchen_dan Posted 29 September, 2012 Share Posted 29 September, 2012 Then again, wouldn't surprise me if he goes with someone like Mayuka out wide to threaten Baines and try to push him back as far as possible and get Pienaar back to help him. Only possibly happen if he has recovered from his ankle knock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 29 September, 2012 Share Posted 29 September, 2012 Could the front 6 possibly look a bit like: - - - JWP - - - Davis - - - - Gaston - - - Rod - - - Lallana - - - - - -Lambert I'm hoping so, I'd rather not see Rod pushed out wide again.

sentry Posted 29 September, 2012 Share Posted 29 September, 2012 Great team selection, Clyne at left back and Rodriguez gets a start. I think that it is important to reward people who do well in the cup games, it will make fringe players believe that if that put in a good performance in the cup then they may play in the prem game.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 29 September, 2012 Share Posted 29 September, 2012 I think we might see JRod and Lambert up front together, with Lallana and Ramirez out wide and JWP and Davis behind. This. Lambert dropping a bit as a CF, JRod leading as ST to exploit them with a bit of pace as he did to SWFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchen_dan Posted 29 September, 2012 Share Posted 29 September, 2012 (edited) Rodriguez is playing wide after showing his ability in the City & Wigan game to get back and support his full back. Wouldn't even surprise me if he was actually playing wide right today. I cant see it being anything other than 4-3-3. Play 4-2-3-1 and we'll get torn apart down the right IMO but with the 4-3-3 and Rodriguez on the right, he can push Baines back high up the pitch but also get back to support Richardson. 4-4-2 and we'll get overrun in CM but I was thinking it could potentially be a diamond / 4-3-1-2 but that would again leave the full backs exposed due to no designated wide men. Interesting dilemma today for Adkins. Edited 29 September, 2012 by itchen_dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 29 September, 2012 Share Posted 29 September, 2012 As far as i know i think we`re playing two upfront. Very brave from Adkins. That means it'll look something like this I think. Main concern is Richardson at right back and the thought he'll be quite exposed if JWP doesnt push across and double up with him.

the saint in winchester Posted 29 September, 2012 Share Posted 29 September, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't want either Ramirez or J-Rod to play "out wide". J-Rod is a central striker and Ramirez was perfect in the 'Sheringham' role. I think we look to be playing without formal wingers today (as Lalla isn't a proper winger), with Clyne and Richardson given licence to bomb up the wings. The issue will be how we stop EVERTON's attacks down the flanks playing like that. We have firepower going forward, but are leaving ourselves exposed when Everton attack. See ItchenDan's set up above - that is the way I have drawn it on my notepad too. Edited 29 September, 2012 by the saint in winchester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 29 September, 2012 Share Posted 29 September, 2012 JRod and Lambert should win plenty in the air against Heitinga and Jagielka. Plus cross from either side should see a big CF up against a smaller full-back at the far post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
