for_heaven's_Saint Posted 27 December, 2022 Share Posted 27 December, 2022 Our choice of midfielders without Lavia is terrible. An out-of-sorts JWP and either Diallo or AMN, who have both proven to be not good enough. JWP is going to have to start, preferably as the deeper lying midfielder. Then I’d rather we played Stu Armstong in there than Diallo or AMN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Nimbus Posted 27 December, 2022 Share Posted 27 December, 2022 4-1 Fulham. Back 5 to try and tighten up, we’re concede in the first 20 minutes and not know how to attack.

ally_uk Posted 27 December, 2022 Share Posted 27 December, 2022 https://ibb.co/2kWBH2M I would take it back to basics and go with a 4-4-2 I couldn't find Edozie in the database so swap Ely with him. I'd play Stuart Armstrong and Aribo from get go with Aribo instructed to run and support the strikers. Prowse on the right wing, Edozie on the left whip the balls into the box. I would also start Mara up top with Adams why? Because Armstrong is useless and I think Mara technically has something about him.

Unless there’s an agreement that somebody is coming the other way as part of the deal.

Saint Garrett Posted 27 December, 2022 Share Posted 27 December, 2022 We will probably lose. I don’t have a clue who is best to play as most of them are shit. Midfield is a big problem for us, Diallo is shit, and AMN is also shit and doesn’t want to be here. We will be over run. Do we have any options in the youth team in midfield ? Macca/Caballero KWP ABK Salisu Perraud JWP AMN Elyounoussi SArmstrong Adams Edozie Not sure why I’m bothering going tbh, lose this one and the fans are going to turn if they haven’t already. I want to see some effort, some sprinting, some kind of Tactical nous from Jones, and some actual football rather than “boot it to Adams”. Maybe even a few passes to each other. Happy new year !

Got to agree. We need someone in midfield who can do what Lavia was doing at the start of the season. Atmosphere at Leicester was fantastic. Then Chelsea. Instil that positive collect from defence idea and move forward through midfield and we've a chance, but like Saint Garrett said, who can do the job in midfield? Lyanco? Stating the obvious but we need to avoid relegation. Forget the nostalgia about going down and playing in the Championship/League 1. It was fun walking on the hallowed St Mary's turf after beating Walsall to get promoted but if we get relegated this time, I sense could be playing in the lower leagues for many many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca155 Posted 27 December, 2022 Share Posted 27 December, 2022 Got to take what positives we can from the last 2 games. Mccarthy should play but if injured Bazuma will get another chance. AMN looks way better at RB so a defence of AMN ABK Salisu KWP is probably the best we have at the moment. Midfield is desperate. JWP, S Armstrong, and hopefully Lavia in the middle, with Edozie and Mara playing behind Adams. Keep it narrow and hope our players have learnt how to run again. If Lavia isn't available then Lyanco has to play a defensive midfielder role. He has the skills just needs to control his recklessness. JWP and S Armstrong simply cannot influence a game without somebody doing the grunt work. Not sure about Aribo, hopefully there's a role for him. Sp looking forward to this one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodsaint1 Posted 27 December, 2022 Share Posted 27 December, 2022 Injuries permitting.... McCarthy KWP ABK DCC Perraud Lavia JWP Aribo Armstrong Edozie Adams On paper that is a decent side, but obviously void of confidence. We need as much creativity on the pitch as possible and to me thats the best front 4 we've got. Also need to deal with the threat posed by Mitrovic. Perhaps Lyanco wouldnt be so bad in this game, could end up with both being sent off 😂. ABK and DCC for me. We badly need to start grinding out results, even if its ugly, and obviously stop making defensive mistakes. Going with 1-1, but will likely be another 3-1 loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
