Thingy 36 Posted September 24, 2021 Given that Todd won't be playing I would start with: Krul Aarons Andrew Kabak Williams Normann PLM Sargent Dowell Tzolis Pukki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Techie Canary 1 Posted September 24, 2021 Think I would try to shore up the defensive play a bit more. How about: Krul Aarons obamadellie Gibson williams dowell Normann sorenson tzolis Sargent Pukki Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,229 Posted September 24, 2021 Krul Aarons Hanley Kabak Williams Gilmour Normann Lees-Melou Dowell Pukki Sargent Id stick with 433 and play what I think Farke thinks is his strongest 11 at this point. I think we have only seen this for 60 mins and if we built a window on it it needs time for players and formation to work. Mainly because I don’t believe another formation would do wildly differently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellow Wal 314 Posted September 25, 2021 (edited) The longer a player doesn't play the better he gets. Dowell has produced very few performances where he has warranted a place in the team, when given the chance against Arsenal he was poor. Give it another week or two without Idah playing and people will be calling for him again. How many naturally left sided centre backs have we? Gibson is the only one I believe. Hanley usually moves over if Big Andy plays. He moved over for Kabak against Watford. So perhaps the centre backs depend on who trained better and looks sharpest? There are so many combinations for centre back I wouldn't be surprised at any. So: Krul Aarons Centre back Centre back Giannoulis McLean Normann Gilmour Sargent Tzolis Pukki And as above I fully agree with going back to 4 2 3 1.

rock bus 850 Posted September 25, 2021 I’d go for that but Sargent in for Dowell to offer bit more strength and fight, also think him and Pukki could make a good partnership Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although this formation is what he's used to so might see an improvement. Edited September 25, 2021 by canarydan23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 519 Posted September 25, 2021 I'd like Krul Aarons Omo Kabak Giannoulis Sorenson Normann Rashica Sargent Tzolis Pukki We need to get the Gian/Tzol & Rash/Sargent partnerships going. However, I can't see Farke playing Sorenson, so expect Mclean to partner Normann instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Discobolus 11 Posted September 25, 2021 After what Farke was saying about Hanley at the news conference I cannot see him not playing him together with Kabak hopefully Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredherring 136 Posted September 25, 2021 The constant clamour for sorenson is pathetic and typical of the total lack of knowledge, and even having eyes and a brain, displayed so often here. The guy is slow, not sharp enough, and simply lacklustre. The clue is in farke not even benching him.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paddycanary 538 Posted September 25, 2021 Clog the midfield for 75mins, protect the full backs, try not to concede and introduce width/guile to try and nick it at the end or grab an equaliser. And yes, I am selecting Rupp to start for early solidity! Krul Aarons Hanley Kabak Giannoulis Rupp PLM Normann McLean Sargent Pukki Tzolis, Gilmour/Rashica & Idah off the bench when the game opens up after we (hopefully) haven't conceded. The game is winnable, I'd take a 0-0 at this stage; we could also get beaten 3-0! My prediction is 1-1 to get the season up & running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy 122 Posted September 25, 2021 Persevering with a back 3 which is fine and probably a sensible choice of players. The 2 up front is what we would like but its the middle 5 that I find odd. Normann seems to be the defensive one but who is the 'playmaker' or 'number 10'.I really can't see McLean or PLM being that man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
