rock bus 1,063 Posted June 21, 2020 I like that team. I think it’s definitely time to try Buendia in the middle, he has been both a liability and wasted out wide. Further forward means he can do more damage to the opposition and less to us! Id be tempted to have Vrancic alongside Tettey but we need to be solid to start with v Everton so why not try Rupp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,629 Posted June 21, 2020 It looks great on paper, but given how overrun we were against Southampton with only two central midfielders, I'd be tempted to take out one those attacking midfield three to put another one in.

This. It's something I've been asking for particularly now the defence picks itself. If we're going to have any chance whatsoever we must, must, must get a bit more solidity in the side and not be so incredibly easy to break down. Hand on heart I think the younger attacking players are more of a hurt than a help at the moment, so I would actually see Cantwell dropped as well and Buendia made a more traditional free role #10. Maybe something a bit like McLean Leitner Vrancic Rupp Buendia Pukki Control the midfield, get our passing game going. Buendia and Pukki only need a moment of freedom to spring a chance. It's a little bit square peg, but Steipermann, Trybull, Tettey & Hernandez can all fit in that midfield and Duda, Cantwell, Drmic are swappable with Emi. Ultimately it doesn't really matter what formation we use if we still try and play with only 2 players defending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 944 Posted June 21, 2020 Dropping one of the attacking three midfielders might not be a terrible idea. I’d probably play it as a 4321, let the full backs push on and then have Cantwell and Buendia playing close to Pukki. Krul Aarons Godfrey Klose Lewis Trybull Tettey Vrancic (or McLean in for Trybull or Vrancic) Buendia Cantwell Pukki. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tettey protects the centre backs without the ball, Duda drops back, vrancic hunts the ball and tettey protects the centre backs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,152 Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) IMO Trybull should be nowhere near a starting berth for a while - far too weak for this level, sadly. Our m/f was just too anonymous and easily beaten by the Saints, we can’t let that happen again. Something like Cambs has gone for has to be it.

ged in the onion bag 963 Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) Buendia to replace Drmic and play near Pukki, Rupp or Hernandez wide for Buendia and Tettey for Trybull but the most important change... we have to move the ball fast. Keeps us on moving and makes opponents work harder. Defence always sets the tone for the performance, they all have to move it quicker.

Yup, that's the one. People complain about Alex's lack of creativity, but we've plenty of that throughout the team; it's his type of defensive ability we lack.

Tettey is essential, bit baffled as to why he didn't start on Friday. I was wondering the same thing, my only thought was that he’s our CB backup so Farke is being cautious. Also, didn’t we have some of our best results last season with Vrancic playing next to Tettey? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 10,774 Posted June 21, 2020 Possibly something like this but with either Cantwell or Buendia with instructions to stay forward and narrow to try link with pukki and stop him being isolated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
