I think he's meaning let's not be so negative playing 3 CM's in the formation. I agree with that. Against likes of Norwich and B'mouth I understand it, but it's too negative for me against teams like Derby 3 Link to post Share on other sites

pikerman 1,089 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Is it just me, but I get a shiver down the spine every time I see the first name on the team list is Betterwelly, he must surely be one of the worst Boro keepers of living memory Link to post Share on other sites

Shame because he’s actually looked sharp and a real threat. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a serious injury aswell, given Warnock mood in his presser yesterday and the way he kept mentioning injuries.

We don’t have a 10 for a 4231 or the strikers for 442 Isn’t Kebano an obvious 10? And we have lots of forwards now if we want to play two up top. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Kebano can play 10 and has to good effect in this division within the last year. I'd say watmore can play it too. Or we could play 442. Link to post Share on other sites

I think with a fully fit squad 4231 is an option but not sure today with fitness and who is available. Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 The only fit CB we have is Hall so its a good idea to keep him on the bench and play a midfielder and a right back in the CB positions, if Woodgate had done this he'd have got slaughtered. Didn't take long for Bolasie to find what the club Physio's name is, wonder what the injury is cut toe nail perhaps. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Kebano can play anywhere across the attacking midfield roles so yeah, him or Tav when fit absolutely could play there. It seems to me right now that Warnock sees something we don't with the midfield 3 though. I'd much rather we go 4-2-3-1, especially when Bolasie and Tav are fit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,400 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) Given Hall is being made to play multiple games for the U23s to get fitness back, I'm sure he's not properly back up to speed yet. I'd sooner Dijksteel played anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Hopefully Mendez-Laing is almost fit. Apparently was sharp in training this week. Might come on for 20 today. Link to post Share on other sites
