So, we need to return to tight and narrow block. That’s sorted then.
-
I would start Hause beside Mings this weekend, and play Chambers alongside Luiz, with Ramsey in front of them.
-
On his own Luiz hasn't looked great as a DM, but if he had another DM beside him like Nakamba or even Chambers for now, he could operate as more of a deep playmaker rather than an out and out DM, Nakamba/Chambers as the ball winning DM type. Would allow Ramsey to play as the Box to Box type of the 3.

They do, but they still drift out wide when the ball is at either side to link up with the full backs, or at least they should. Salah and Mane both cut in towards goal on their stronger foot.
-
Coutinho and Buendia?
-
I like the sound of that, would be more of a 4231
-
I understand what you mean, the problem with the top formation is that Buendia and Bailey would be expected to defend like full backs when not in possession, which presents the same issue you've mentioned with players in positions they aren't strongest.
-
I think he needs to modify the system, at least until he is able to get the players in that he wants.
-
Surely there is a time and place for cameos for young players? Ideally, not when we have only 1 win in 5 games and out of form.
-
To convince him to stay. The Club obviously rate him highly and don't want him to run his contract down. But I agree, he hasn't looked that impressive apart from a few moments, and he is still very young. If I was Sanson though i'd be extremely annoyed that an 18 year old kid is getting more minutes just to appease his agent.
-
Doesn't bode well if this is true, has SG lost the dressing room already?
-
I don't think his salary will be Barcelona's concern whoever he signs for permanently.
-
It's his second red of the season, which I think is why the extra game ban.
-
I'd still play Chambers at DM, Mings and Hause at the back.
-
Who's getting dropped? McGinn or Luiz? Or both?
-
3 at the back would help with the full backs going forward, the left and right sided defenders can help cover those positions. The middle defender can be a sort of hybrid role with Chambers comfortable in defense and DM

Is Konsa still suspended for Watford? I'd like to see Chambers play in DM, so he can move into a back 3 when defending, and into midfield when in possession.
-
What a sight that would be, Mings and Martinez hoofing every ball up to Davis to nod it down to Coutinho or Buendia.
-
Don't have the players up front for that either, would need a tall physical striker to win the ball in the air.
-
Start him in DM vs. Watford with JJ and Sanson in front. McGinn and Luiz need dropping.
-
Ashley Young can play there.
-
Could be worth trying. I know we didn't look great with a back 3 under DS but we didn't have chambers then, he can step up into DM when in possession to allow DL to advance forward.
-
He's been unlucky with injury, hasn't really got a run of games. I think we'll see him as one of the narrow 10s, SG had Ryan Kent playing a similar role at rangers and he's traditionally a winger, so perhaps he will try Bailey in that role.
-
As soon as we signed Bailey we immediately changed to a 532 with no wingers
-
I agree the midfield isn't working, but you can hardly blame Sanson, he's barely played.
