Johnnyp Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'd be dissapointed and shocked if Smith hasn't come up with something to stop Harrison destroying us again. That was brutal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Played pub quiz tonight with Leeds mate regular in my team. 1st in 18 quizzes at the venue and we hadn't lost until first time tonight by 3pts. I hope that's a sign Edited February 23, 2021 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GENTLEMAN Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 17 hours ago, Tomaszk said: I think he'll go back to 4231 again. Must admit I didn't really notice it against Leicester, but that was very much a 433 with McGinn's average position ending up further up than Barkley. Maybe there was a switch at HT or after Barkley went off. The other reason for 4231 is the right royal rogering we got from Leeds in October which fell into more of a 433 as well, perhaps through us being under pressure on the ball... I think we'll see two proper sitting midfielders and Ollie will have to bust his gut more than usual as he's going to be isolated. However, as I'm saying that I just can't see Dean Smith thinking this way. He wants to attack. He wants support for attackers, which is why Barkley keeps playing. Feck knows what we'll do. Kesler, McGinn, Nakamba, Trez and Sanson would all start for me, Elmo, Luiz, Barkley and El Ghazi dropping out. The added holding midfielder would help out Kesler as well. Yeah Smith played Barkley and McGinn as 8’s and Luiz as the 6 on Sunday. I don’t think it’s a positional issue, I think it’s the balance of personel. I echo your sentiments on the changes baring Trez. Centre of midfield is a big issue atm. Ironically, it’s a position where we have most squad depth, I think.

OutByEaster? Posted February 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted February 23, 2021 We've not been scoring many goals lately and Leeds concede for fun, so it could be an opportunity to get back on the goalscoring trail. Ollie tends to score goals in bunches so I'm very hopeful we might score at least a couple - whether that gets us a win I'm not sure. I'll go for a 2-2 draw.

danceoftheshamen Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 The season is getting a bit of a "batten down the hatches and pray we get another 7 or 8 points to keep well clear of any last minute relegation panics" feel to it. I really can't see anything from this game but would be delighted to be proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Martinez Kessler Konsa Mings Targett Nakamba Ramsey Sanson Trez AEG Watkins This is what I'd like to see assuming Jack is still out. We aren't winning the league, we aren't getting relegated and Europe seems unlikely. Bleed the youth, rest a few regulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashingqwerty Posted February 23, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted February 23, 2021 I'd be looking to play this 11 Martinez Kesler Konsa Mings Targett Nakamba McGinn Trez Sanson Traore Watkins We need to start winning these midfield battles, and having Barkley in there means that wont happen right now. I'm starting Trez and his work rate should give the fullback more protection than with Traore on that side. I think Targett can handle it. I've gone with Sanson over Ramsey because i think he offers a bit more physically. But i fully expect the same starting 11 as at Leicester. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herman22 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Elmo is going to need help against Rafina in this one and Harrison is a threat on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
