Loafingstone 2 Posted October 31, 2021 Hi all, What is everyone's view on: A) The lineup Farke will go with? B) The Lineup you would go with? C) Prediction for the match. Mine are: A) Farke will stick with 3-5-2. Krul, Hanley, Kabak, Omobamidele, Aarons, Williams, Lees-Melou, MacLean, Norman, Rashica, Pukki B) I would like us to go back to 4-2-3-1. Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Omobamidele, Giannoulis , Norman, Lees-Melou (though that is more best of a bad bunch), Rashica, Dowell, Tsolis, Pukki C) Based on A) I think we will lose 1 or 2 nil. I hope we win and will obviously support the team but the run we are on does not give me much confidence. At my most optimistic we will turn out a turgid 0-0.

Hello Loafingstone, Welcome to the forum! A) Your line up won't be far wrong imo. Can't see him changing from 3-5-2 after we had some success with it against Brighton and Burnley. Think he'll stick with Sargent though. B) I think we play best with 4-2-3-1. I'd agree that we should play Lees-Melou rather than Gilmour as the young Scot seems lightweight at this level. Or for a curve ball, what about playing Kabak along side Normann in midfield? He seems comfortable going further forward. We've also got to start playing our wingers otherwise what was the point of buying them? C) I want to be positive..but am struggling tbh. I'll go for a 1-0 Norwich win even though my guts tell me different... OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tetteys Jig 830 Posted October 31, 2021 Krul, Aarons, Omobamidele, Hanley, Kabak, Williams, PLM, Rupp, McClean, Normann, Pukki. Narrow 5-4-1; sit back and lump it to Pukki in the hope of a 1 nil win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert N. LiM 4,004 Posted October 31, 2021 I think the 343 Connor has picked on the pinkun site won't be far away. Omo in for Gibson, otherwise same back three and wing backs. Normann and the Mayor Rashica and Tzolis 🐐 Wouldn't be unhappy with that, tbh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,173 Posted October 31, 2021 I think he will stick with his lineup and majority of players. I think he may just change a couple of players and go slightly more attacking. Team Prediction 3-5-2: Krul, Hanley, Omobamidele, Kabak, Aarons, McLean, Normann, Gilmour, Williams, Pukki, Sargent. My line up 3-4-3 (assuming all were raring to go): Krul, Hanley, Omobamidele, Kabak, Aarons, Normann, Gilmour, Giannoulis, Cantwell, Pukki, Tzolis. Score prediction: 1-1. I’d love to see a win and I’m hoping we don’t lose but depends much more what side mentally takes the pitch today for me rather than selection or formation.

Hi Mr Farke, not sure which team and line up will appease the fans, so asking on this forum is a stroke of genius. 😉😉😂💛💚👍 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joking aside, I hope DF doesn't try and appease the fans today. I hope he's still clear headed enough to pick the team he thinks is best to win the game. Trouble with a run of defeats is that you start second-guessing yourself. I hope he has the courage of his convictions, whatever they are. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canaries north 151 Posted October 31, 2021 Now that is a strange one. I guess madness is trying the same thing and expecting different results. Rashica as wing back will upset Dimi and Williams but why not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big O 225 Posted October 31, 2021 I have a feeling it will be Sargent at wingback - might be wrong or it might even be 4-2-3-1 with Andrew O at left back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danke bitte 965 Posted October 31, 2021 This is… bizarre… So no defender on the left side. Good going. **** it, let’s get Krul up top and Pukki in the sticks!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted October 31, 2021 Farke has signed his death warrant with that team If anything we should be doubling up on Rafinha down their right. Instead we-ve picked a side that will allow him to have an absolute field day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,232 Posted October 31, 2021 It’s a 3-2-3-1-1, pretty solid if they get back to cover and allows Rashica, Dowell and Sargent to roam. Could backfire if the back three and McClean perform as they have done this season. Certainly very strange line up and like others Farke doesn’t know how to fit his players into a system! Should have reverted back to 4-2-3-1 and play your strongest available 11. Go back to what you know best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
