Christoph Stiepermann 1,135 Posted December 8, 2019 - ----------------Krul Aarons Zimmermann Amadou Godfrey Lewis ...................Mclean Tettey ................Cantwell Hernandez ...........................Pukki Unorthodox formation, but we need to try something different to give us an edge. we don't score from crosses so no point in having men out wide in forward positions really. With one full back pushing up at a time it's basically 5 more defensive players and 5 attacking players in whatever shape the pattern of the game demands. Focus on quick breaks and counter attacks. Pukki scores most on the break when being played in. 3 at the back as Sheff Utd will hit us with crosses and set pieces all game and if we can't be good at defending them might as well try just having an extra man in there.

Jobsworth Canary 168 Posted December 8, 2019 No surprise that Cantwell dropped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your particular form of "punditry" seems to lack anything remotely concerned with the game it's self but rather suggests the rambling thoughts of a grumpy, arthritic old man who's every ageing pore exudes extreme jealousy of a youngster, with flamboyant talent, a headband and s ex appeal (so I'm told) who is destined to make a mint from the game you purport to love and for the club you purport to support. I'm probably wrong about all that, but it's the way you come over to others with your obsessive attention to this young man.

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted December 8, 2019 Tough onCantwell being dropped given his goal scoring and overall contribution, I hope Farke has done it with Sheffield U in mind and it pays off. i hope Emi doesn’t try and over do it, he needs to play the simple ball when it’s on and not try to force it.
