Channon’s Windmill 326 Posted November 3, 2021 No McLean, No Sargent. Giannoulis back at LB and Gilmour and Cantwell in...can’t see it myself but I live in hope. I would be tempted to rest Pukki too, he looks exhausted but what options lef?, Idah just never looks like scoring even when he starts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RugbyCanary 94 Posted November 3, 2021 What we want and what we get will be very different!! With the very strange selection on Sat I really don't know, but, wouldn't be surprised if tzolis started in goal with leitner as the lone striker!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thumbbass 318 Posted November 3, 2021 We need two CDMs Mbeumo, Henry, Canos all love that bit of space in-front of a back 4. Rupp best of an average bunch to put alongside Normann, he's unspectacular but reliable, much more so than Kenny and will let Normann push on. He will also drop in if Giannoulis goes awol. If we were chasing the game then Gilmour on for Rupp into a more advanced central role. Kabak for Rupp if we are defending a lead. PLM more energy than Dowell without the ball, but either or, neither are pulling up trees. If Tzolis is to start a game it may as well be against Champs level defenders.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted November 3, 2021 Krul Aarons Omobamidele Hanley Williams Kabak Normann Cantwell Gilmour Rashica Tzolis I’d give that a whirl and thinking outside the box, play someone alongside Normann that’s strong with an engine who can get forward… Kabak. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Petriix 2,834 Posted November 3, 2021 6 hours ago, Canaries north said: I would like us to try 4231 just so we can put that to bed. It worked against lower level championship teams but not the better teams. Also as has been said many times we don't have an out and out DM to make that work. Sorry that is doom and gloom even for me. Brentford have lost their goal keeper and since have looked weak at the back. We have to go for it. Tzolis hasn't looked great but he hasn't really had much of a chance. It's time for him to start in what ever formation we go for. Let's find a way to get the young attacking signings on the pitch. Win or lose I just want to see them given a chance to show us why we signed them. We played 4-2-3-1 when we soundly beat Brentford earlier this year. I seem to remember that we were really solid defensively and didn't give them a sniff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, it was one of the only games we did win against the better teams but as said in my comment, can we play that formation without a recognised DM against better teams. Personally I don't think so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of people assume that it cannot possibly work, but I don't see what we have to lose. Oh, and I'm fairly sure we would have beaten Bournemouth without Giannoulis's red card.

Oh my god I'm all for trying it and yes it can't be any worse than the mess we are seeing. The problem for me is without anyone with the discipline to be a DM I worry, but hey why not. The red card obviously made a difference but our record against the better teams last season was poor. The better teams last season are the relegation favourites this season and I still wouldn't be surprised to see all 3 promoted teams go down. Sadly it looks like us bottom.

Yellow Wal 314 Posted November 3, 2021 I just hope we have learned a lesson that we should not build a team around a player on loan who can be called back to his money grabbing parent club if we do a good job and coach him, improve his game, increase his value and give him the experience that he would not have got at home. The loan system nowadays stinks. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smooth 114 Posted November 3, 2021 All depends how Hanley is if he is out then a back 4 comes into play Krul Aaron's, kabak, Omobamidele, Dimi Sorenson, Norman, Rashica, Gilmour, Tzolis Pukki This is very, very forward thinking but it would be great to have tzolis, rashica playing with freedom. Against a brentford team with injuries it could be the perfect time to get them having a go! So many changes, it won't happen. If we want to be a bit tighter then PLM for Gilmour dropping back to a 4-3-3. With Tzolis and Dimi having previously Marshall the left side at PAOK can they do it for city Again it won't happen, I just hope Pukki has creative players and direct players next to him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loafingstone 2 Posted November 3, 2021 Given where we are I'd mix it up and give some of those who haven't had a chance a go. So: Gunn Aarons, Omobamidele, Hanley (or Gibson if not fit), Dimi Sorensen Norman Rashica, Cantwell, Tzolis Pukki It's all just conjecture but maybe Sorensen will have the discipline to sit in beside Norman with his more expansive play style. Rashica is right footed so give him a go on the right wing. Ultimately though Pukki needs service in order to score so we need to try and provide him with some. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 5,932 Posted November 4, 2021 GK: Tim KRUL LB: Dimitris GIANNOULIS LCB: Andrew OMOBAMIDELE RCB: Ozan KABAK (I've assumed Hanley's kept on the bench as a precaution to that twinge he had) RB: Max AARONS DCM: Jacob SÖRENSEN (why not give him a go, unless he has a Stiepermann problem with long Covid, otherwise Lees-Melou) DCM: Mathias NORMANN LAM: Todd CANTWELL CAM: Billy GILMOUR (more CM than CAM, but one thing is sure, he cannot play DCM on his own) RAM: Milot RASHICA CF: Teemu PUKKI Subs: Gunn (GK), Hanley, Williams, Lees-Melou, McLean, Rupp, Idah, Tzolis, Sargent Can't see that team happening, Sörensen won't see the starting line-up and Cantwell may still be getting match fitness with the U21s if he's had a minor knock (didn't he have a bit of an Achilles issue?)
