Whinge about no new signings but Dewsbury Hall was like one last year, so give the lad a chance i thought this. what would be the harm in having him involved and as a option off the bench in these early games. hes something different at least! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Fannieri Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 He is bemoaning a lack of wingers so why not promote Maswanhise, ideal opportunity to give him a debut and go back to the 4 at the back shape he craves or if he wants to stick to members of current squad go with the diamond in midfield, either way Brendan stop being a smacked arse in picking 3 at the back to try and prove a point to the board. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At home we should be taking the game to teams especially with the talent we do have. I'd also like Rogers to play the system he wants us to play and make the players we have fit or look to our youth.

murphy Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 If (and it's a big if). 3 atb is the reason we ship goals, I think we need to change back to 4-2-3-1 and make do and mend with our wide options. My preference would be to bring Thomas in, shift Justin to RB and play Castagne wide right. Wide left is tricky. I guess we only really have Kevin. (No offence Kevin) Tielemans can have a rest for this one. Anyway: Ward Justin Fofana Evans Thomas Ndid KDH Castagne Maddison Albrighton Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 As some other posters have smartly put on previous pages, the line up for this game has to be something like this. Ward/Iversen Castagne - Fofana - Evans - Justin Tielemans/Praet - Ndidi - KDH Maddison Iheanacho/Daka - Vardy As I’ve just put on the Rodgers thread, 4-3-1-2 is the ideal formation for us whenever Barnes is out. Stop with the negative three at the back bullshit. Bench Amartey and get that extra attacker into the team. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jmono84 Posted 15 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 15 August 2022 If he goes 3 atb again then I’ll be fully BR out, even if we get a positive result. It stifles everything about our game and if he can’t see how much of a disadvantage it puts us in then I’ve lost hope for him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Scott Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 Why speculate on the team, it will be the same as the first two games unless we have injuries. It was unbelievable that the same team was selected at Arsenal & even more unbelievable that no subs were introduced until 60 minutes+. He has 9 on the bench but for whatever reason doesn't want to play any of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can work as a formation, but we just don't have (or refuse to play) three centre backs who can play it, or the wide options up top to take pressure off the backline.

J. James Posted 15 August 2022 Share Posted 15 August 2022 I can't see us achieving more than 35 ish points this season and that figure includes 3 against this lot, lose or draw and the omens are the opposite of good l think ☹️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Robson sacked after 4 by Newcastle, De Boer after 4, Sturrock and Dalglish both after 2. Bobby Robson had much more of an affinity with Newcastle then we do with Rodgers so it's not out of the realms of possibility Edited 15 August 2022 by Tommy Fresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wont be sacked if we draw/lose this one, but with our fixtures we would likely be in the relegation zone come mid September, especially as all the promoted sides have already picked up points.

I can't understand what's happening. The team you posted either on 4-3-1-2 or 4-1-2-1-2 can rip apart teams like Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
