Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 2,803 Posted December 30, 2022 I like the attacking intent, but we've gone from one striker out of position on the wing to two, by the looks of it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 2,382 Posted December 30, 2022 Interesting no Todd - which surely proves garbage the rumour that Smith wasn’t playing him when he’s fit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 5,394 Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) That midfield terrifies me. Zero physicality or defensive nous in there. Edited December 30, 2022 by king canary 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 2,583 Posted December 30, 2022 This is either genius or Russell announcing he doesn't want the job, I'm not sure any of us would predict that starting XI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheBaldOne66 355 Posted December 30, 2022 A very attacking line up, hopefully it will work but could get overrun in midfield I fear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hank shoots Skyler 1,943 Posted December 30, 2022 Are we going for a direct style? Don’t think it is going to make for pleasant viewing ether way, although I’m sure it’ll be an improvement on the last few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chichcan 90 Posted December 30, 2022 Anyone got any ideas of who is going to play where? I assume its a 433 with Kenny in the middle of Sara and Nunez?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarybubbles 1,172 Posted December 30, 2022 Well, I was totally wrong. I thought they would play it very safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creedence Clearwater Couto 542 Posted December 30, 2022 I’m gobsmacked at that lineup. Surely you’ve got to have Gibbs and Hayden in any midfield 3?! Glad to see Nunez, but next to McLean and Sara that midfield is controlling nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hepphep 174 Posted December 30, 2022 So looks like offensive 4-3-3 with plenty of energy in middle (but also not defensively most solid) and lots of attack minded players. I might jinx it now, but I'm pretty confident that tjis one will not end 0-0... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 2,936 Posted December 30, 2022 Crap on a stick that's either incredibly bold or incredibly stupid. My earlier confidence has diminished. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chichcan 90 Posted December 30, 2022 Could be a 442 with a diamond with Pukki and Idah up front and Sargent behind with Kenny or Nunez at the base of the diamond??
