Daz Sparks 1,119 Posted April 27, 2019 Krul Aarons, Zimm, Godfrey, Lewis Lietner, Buendia, Vrancic, Stiepermann, Hernandez Pukki Not necessarily in that formation, just my starting XI 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daz Sparks 1,119 Posted April 27, 2019 The above is what I want to see start, but I think DF will start McClean and maybe even Tettey at DM.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryChris 146 Posted April 27, 2019 I would rather see tettey in to cover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ged in the onion bag 847 Posted April 27, 2019 Bringing Tettey in would be unwise having not played of late... Godfrey has moved up significant levels and would be ideal holding with Klose stepping into the defensive role. We need better movement in those middle two positions to create space and help our defenders break Blackburn's press. Godfrey and Leitner with Vrancic, Buendia and Hernandez / or Stieperman behind the goal machine. OTBC today's the day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,423 Posted April 27, 2019 McLean was one of our best players on Monday, he won’t be dropped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,515 Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) To make sure we have as much possession as possible and wear the opposition out then bring on Hernandez later in the game for added pace.

Capt. Pants 4,089 Posted April 27, 2019 That's a talented midfield Daz and if we're chasing the game it might well happen. Just think it's too lightweight and no ball winners in there. My preference would be Tettey for Leitner but DF will know more about AT's fitness. It might need a bit of juggling for the homegrown rule in which case we could see Thompson at least on the bench and AT not involved at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 441 Posted April 27, 2019 Sounded to me from Farke's presser, that he's considering one of Thompson or Tettey but is concerned about their lack of playing time since injuries, I'd still expect one of them to get the nod however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't he rule Louis out? Seemed worried about Alex's match fitness too. Suspect it'll be LDC's team - except pretty sure Onel will start with Mario to come on late second half.

Fiery Zac 1,065 Posted April 27, 2019 Krul aarons Zimmerman Godfrey Lewis tettey leitner buendia Stiepermann Hernández pukki would like to see this as Leitner and Tettey formed a great partnership in the first half of the season but think Farke will pick McLean over Leitner. If he does then pick Tettey to play with McLean, it’ll be put a lot of pressure on him to see a lot of the ball and pass it around, not playing to his strengths Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,089 Posted April 27, 2019 This just goes to show how key Trybull, or a player similar to Trybull is to the way we play. Tommy takes a lot of balls off our 2 CH's often in very tight positions. Tettey is good at the dirty disruptive work but I'm not sure I would want him taking those types of passes tbh with so little recent match practice. Leitner can. It's a tough one for Farke but the only change to the line up will be who comes in for Trybull. Can't see McLean being dropped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christoph Stiepermann 1,120 Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) -----------Krul Aarons Zimmermann Klose Lewis -------Godfrey Vrancic Buendia Stiepermann Hernandez ------------Pukki I'm not one of those who thinks that Godfrey is primarily a DM because Paul Hurst and whoever managed him at York played him there but given our options I think it's the smartest move to push him higher. We need a DM, Klose has some minutes in the tank and is experienced enough to slot in seamlessly. Tettey always takes a game or two to get up to speed, so does Leitner and Thompson has been out too long. Vranic has to start as well. McLean hasn't been poor but it would so unfair if after his impact he didn't get one. Edited April 27, 2019 by Christoph Stiepermann Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
