I think it'll be Biss, Bentancur and Sarr with Sarr the furthest forward pressing the CBs looking for high turnovers, just need to focus play down the wings and rely on Porro and Son for the creativity.
I think that would be a more beneficial position for Son himself, and he could be dangerous from there, but it fucks our midfield, and leaves us with nobody dictating the play, like you'd hope Maddison would.
However, Maddison was out anyway, and we'd have a similar issue with Kulusevski not being able to fill that role adequately. Kulusevski though does have the legs (and is functionally more suited) to help out the midfield though.
Playing Son there is more like a 442, as he would basically be a forward pairing with Solanke, which would be fine if not for the fact that our wingers would also be playing like forwards, making it more of a 424.
If no Kulusevski, I can't see Ange going wildcard with Moore or Odobert there for a Final, I imagine it'll be the trio of terror in midfield (Bissouma, Bentancur, Sarr) and all out chaosball of lumping on all of the forwards in the second half with nobody to create anything for them once that has failed catastrophically.
yeah he has been playing poorly and would be a much worse scenario if he went off injured after 5 mins.
I think the real kick in the teeth is how big a loss Maddison is now!
I deleted my post ……. after I got to the end of the thread!
Sorry lol that was Bentancur, Sarr and Bissouma.A 5-2-2 formation???
Why give ManUre a one man advantage?
Yeah but Maddison and Bergvall have.
Odobert in the 10 it is then
Seems a bad idea to me because it's FOUR players in the side that don't contribute much defensively, and on the flipside, also don't contribute much offensively...
I know there's going to be a temptation to come back at me with g/a stats, and I'm not saying they're irrelevant obviously, but in terms of in game performance, that quartet ain't going to control it, and that will invite constant pressure on us.
I just don't think we can get away with playing like shit here and coming away with the trophy.
I think we're fucked. We just can't catch a break.
One slight positive is that we’ve got a week to try and come up with something, and there’s a game against Villa inbetween to experiment in before the final
Was probably an ocular surgery after one of our idiot medical team tripped over and jabbed the needle into his eyeball...
Who's going to train us?
100%!!! Stick your house on it.
Fed up with all these other rumours I’m hearing!!!
