Redcar Rioja 5,975 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 We are going all out to win games now so I'm guessing that it will be a back three of Fry, Hall and Bola with Spence and Johnson as wingbacks. Howson and McNair in midfield with Akpom up top supported by Bolasie and Tav buzzing around him. Link to post Share on other sites
TheJew 2,938 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Looks 433 to me. Can't see how you fit Bola and Johnson into the team otherwise. Bola won't be CB as there's already 3 selected in Hall, Fry and McNair. Could be a Pulis 54..........1 I guess Link to post Share on other sites

Glad to see Tav and McNair both in the side in midfield today. My only concerns are Tav occuping the spaces McNair took up vs Stoke or PNE, which could potentially hamper McNair, and that McNair isn't deep alongside Howson where Morsy normally is.

edinboro 815 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 My money is on a back 3 Hall Fry Bola Spence. Johnson Howson McNair Tav. Bolasie Akpom Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,940 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 We've won our last two games with 433 with fry and hall performing very well in both, it would be bonkers to switch to a back 3. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed but we have one of the most bonkers managers in the business! Link to post Share on other sites
RiseAgainst 3,793 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Not sure how the formation will take shape, but that looks like a strong starting XI. Plenty of options on the bench, as well. It's refreshing to see a positive attacking line-up - I just hope Paddy isn't being risked if he's carrying a knock. He's too important to end up aggravating a niggle and missing games (even if we don't play again for a fortnight). Link to post Share on other sites
macapes 1,919 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Decent line up, plenty of attacking options. Just wish it wasn't Akpom up front. Link to post Share on other sites

SmogDane 4,055 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The team sheet sent to livescore and ifollow has Johnson as right back in a 4 ... Weird cause Spence is left in a midfield 3 with howson and paddy Link to post Share on other sites
