Archers Road Stand Posted 31 December, 2022 Share Posted 31 December, 2022 (edited) DCC must be really shite in training if he can't get in the side over Lyanco or Salisu.

Sheaf Saint Posted 31 December, 2022 Share Posted 31 December, 2022 1 minute ago, Convict Colony said: Perraud dropped completely (or is he injured), looks like 5 at the back, midfield looks like a student at a freshers fair, lightweight. Perraud is on the bench. Can't work out what the formation is from that. No Diallo, which can only be a good thing, but surely we're not playing with just JWP in CM? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint86 Posted 31 December, 2022 Share Posted 31 December, 2022 That midfield is horrific. Jwp, aribo, Ely, edozie.... Going to get absolutely destroyed. And ANM should not be playing over perraud unless he is injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 31 December, 2022 Share Posted 31 December, 2022 1 minute ago, Saint_clark said: Not sure I believe it's three at the back with one CM. I know Moi plays CM for Norway (and looks good there) but would we suddenly be using him there out of the blue? More likely that AMN is CM. yeah lyanco has covered the right back before, not really sure who's playing where - i just assumed AMN was playing right back to make it easier for him to reduce his passing options to the left only so hopefully his % completion goes up.

Why is Stuart Armstrong not starting and Caleta-Car also? Indeed. Personally I think DCC is our best CB, and Armstrong far and away our most creative player. Strange line up - it can only be a back 3 with a weak midfield; or a back 4 with a CB at full back and AMN in the middle, or a back 4 with AMN at full back and a CB in midfield. I'm not confident! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 31 December, 2022 Share Posted 31 December, 2022 Seriously though we all know that the midfield is weak, its been blatantly obvious for a while, will see how we set up but based on last weeks performance i am expecting max pain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its not 3 at the back i agree with you. But if it is a 3 maybe i saw something different but last week he played the QB role out of defence ok and did quite a few penetrating passes out of defence (as well as some shit ones) and i think he also played the pass to Edozie who then won the pen. Think Lyanco is a easy target but i try to judge players contribution per game and the bloke gives 100% at least and is a shit house to match Mitrovic, I expect Sali and ABK are there to pick up the fast runners behind Mitrovic. We have bigger problems than defence especially since we can either replace him with DCC or go 4 at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
