Duvel 2,446 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I'm less confident in Bola than I usually am in Johnson which says something. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe 4-3-1-2 is more balanced than 4-3-3. I’d be amazed if it’s 3 at the back. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Excited to see us line-up in the 4-3-3, really hope Bola does well, partly as I don't really rate Johnson at leftback but also do think Bola has something to offer us longer term. Think having Dijksteel and Bola as the fullbacks (sitting a bit deeper than wing-backs) will help nullify their threats out wide. The cup game against them and the QPR game, there was loads of spaces behind our wing-backs for the opposition to exploit. If we can keep hold of possession better, i.e. not launch it long and bypassing midfield, ultimately handing possession back to them, we'll do ok. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,331 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Could it not be a 4-3-1-2 with tav behind the two strikers? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I would too mate, but then I would also drop Johnson in a 3 at the back formation. 😀 Link to post Share on other sites
AWB 10 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I think it looks like 3-5-2 with potentially McNair RWB rather than Howson? Link to post Share on other sites

It could be but that would be completely destroying our width. We'd be really relying on Morsy to sit and only sit to get the most out of the full-backs. I'm wondering if it is just 4-2-1-3/4-2-3-1 and he's done it because he wants 3-4 players more available for the press up top and will just be wanting/needling less from his full-backs.

I really hope not, I don't think McNair has ever had a good game for us when he's played out wide/as a full-back. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Wingbacks were the weak link every time for me... glad it's been recognised. Really hope Bola has a good game, can't imagine he's got a ton of confidence right now. Think we'll get the first win today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,246 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Looks like a 4-4-2 diamond to me. Morsy holding and Tav advanced. Big chance for Bola this 1 Link to post Share on other sites
