Feel like Wolves are our bogey team. I'll be nervous for this one
I’d like to see Werner right instead of Deki. Loads of pace for Maddison to pick out with him and SonThis is the team for me, no doubt. Udogie vs Neto could be the battle that decides the game, because of Udogie nulifies him successfully they don't have a huge number of other options.
3-1 Spurs.
Haha!! Yam yams!!Very confident for this game. They won't play dirty tactics like Brentford, Everton and Brighton. We will be able to play our enjoyable football.
3-0 Home win.
Then you won't have a LW on the bench, unless you want to have Gil there instead of Johnson or Kulu.I’d like to see Werner right instead of Deki. Loads of pace for Maddison to pick out with him and Son
I get that people enjoy the sat 3pm but finding a decent stream is a fucking nightmare!Another 3pm kick off on a Saturday?
What is this sourcery?
It’s going to be revolutionaryDon't come in here with your fancy new coaching methods.
We will need to set Udogie"s alarm clock to avoid another brighton....Vic
Porro - Romero - VDV - Udogie
Sarr - Biss - Maddison
Kulu - Son - Richy/Werner
Let's get back to the team who were so good for us in the start of the season.
Move Richy to the wing or drop him for Werner.
Son as 9 and our best midfield to protect the ball ind the end is crucial
Read our cup history with them. Y'all.Feel like Wolves are our bogey team. I'll be nervous for this one
That fa cup semi at hillsborough is scary to watch. Pity lessons weren’t learned.Read our cup history with them. Y'all.
Most out wide of course.What?
Richarlison started 7 of our opening 10 games and in one of the games he didn't start, we dropped points...
He then didn't start the next 5 and our record was:
0 wins
1 draw
4 losses
And since he's returned back to the team we've lost just 1 game in 9...
Richy has started 16 games for us in the league and we've lost just 1 game... He starts this.
My ADHD kicked in at that giant block of text and the only words my brain took away were “easy win”.I am getting fed up reading comments pre match about easy wins which turn out to be nothing of the sort. Wolves were the last PL team we failed to score against last March and beat us at home, This. like Brighton will not be easy and we need to get playing like early season. I expect a tight match with us getting a close win like Brighton. Hopefully not leaving the winner as late. A further weeks training into those still recovering from injuries will see an improved performance. Even a win could see us drop out of the top 4 before we play again with the Chelsea match PP the week after.
I mean that’s a really silly point.Why is pace through the middle any more of a threat than pace coming into the middle from the flanks?
Your post really just reads that you don’t rate Richy so you want an excuse to drop him
Most out wide of course.
My point was more about him playing through the middle which I thought was clear.
I mean I’ve not said it’s “exclusively” because of that as my initial post confirmed, but we have looked very susceptible to aggressive pressing for a period of games now.Why would him playing through the middle affect the way we dominate games?
The reason we aren't at the level of the opening 10 games is pretty simple. We've not had our first choice midfield three since the beginning of November, 3 months ago and haven't played the starting 11 that mostly dominated the opening 10 games since that very same month.
If you are saying there are teams where Son through the middle makes sense, you are right.I mean that’s a really silly point.
Most full backs are quick to combat pacey wide players.
Most CBs aren’t as quick / nimble, and they also dictate the height of the defensive line. It’s clear they’re going to be more worried about Son as a CF than Richarlison when deciding to play high or not.
I think it’s horses for courses between the 2, but when playing a potential high pressing team I think it’s advantageous for us to play with Son through the middle.
The “you don’t like Richy” argument is childish and unnecessary. If you don’t agree refute the tactical point I’ve made, pointless just resulting to that.
I was standing behind the goal and it was pretty bad, squashing people in.That fa cup semi at hillsborough is scary to watch. Pity lessons weren’t learned.
