Stop trying to draw conclusions based on 45 mins of a pre season game on a terrible pitch. We won 7 games they played together all season and 2 of them was under Smith.

WHY Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 A simple tactical switch in midfield changed the game, having 2 more central meant they couldn’t just run through us. We have to play 2 in the centre, we look much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Two up top for us doesn’t work. He has to start Buendia I don’t care who starts with him. Phillipe will destroy some teams but Buendia will be more consistent. I still think they can play together however can we afford to bench a fit looking Bailey? 4-2-3-1 is the obvious way to go to get all three in and they will give us variety. We potentially can be a devastating attacking team but Gerrard needs to pick the best team. His insistence on picking Watkins and Ings together will cost a lot of points. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Needs to get Bailey and Luiz starting against Bournemouth, get rid of playing 2 up front as it doesn’t work with them 2 up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustibrooks Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 We have a good squad, Gerrard don’t play your mates for the sake of playing them. I want to see Bailey and Buendia start and for us to bin the 2 up top for the most part. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishVilla10 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Play Douglas, play Buendia, play bailey. I think Mings needs dropped for either konsa or chambers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Personally think JJ can be our no.8 watched him play more central for England U21’s and he looked more natural here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZL- Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Seems like most are in agreement of the above formation being the best for our players. Luiz definitely seems like our best fit in a pivot next to Kamara as Tim most likely still a loan or so off. I feel very good about the team above we just hope that SG is as positive about as we are. Looking forward I do still see the need for an 8 still but if the above becomes our default we look particular light on wing options? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
