I like that set up 17:17 - Jan 1 with 3238 views | yorkshire | Thought PL got the formation right today - I would have KVY in place of Edwards when fit - Huws, Dozzell, Downes, Bishop (hopefully) and Skuse all interchangeable and same up top with Norwood, Jackson, Keane and Sears Good battling point today [Post edited 1 Jan 2020 18:14]

Someone who will put it in row Z or take man and ball if necessary. Sadly I think Chambers' time as a starter is probably over. Put someone like the above next to Woolf. Play 442. |  |

I want Akinfenwa in our back four. As soon as he was on he highlighted everything they can't do. |  | |  |

Back 3 struggled the rest of the team played pretty well i thought . Quality centre back needed , might have said that before . |  | |  |

I like that set up on 17:47 - Jan 1 with 2444 views | GeoffSentence | On it's own it wasn't a bad point, and it sounded like a decent performance for the most part on the wireless box. My word we need to learn how to kill a team off though. In the context of the last two months, and by the time Accrington comes round it will be more than two months without a league win, we really needed more. |  |

And Sheffield United have defenders who step out and are comfortable on the ball. We don't have the defensive players for three at the back. |  |

I presume that's what Nsiala was signed to do, but he looks a liability whenever he gets turned. I doubt we'll be bringing in much in January apart from maybe a couple of loans. Chambers still looks very suspect & seems to get bullied by opposition forwards. |  |

I like that set up on 18:01 - Jan 1 with 2357 views | pennblue | I think Wilson had a great 1st half. Trouble with 3 at the back, is it leaves us light in midfield, and we need that extra player to drive the play into the opposition half. But great battling today, in particular from Judge and Jackson. |  |

It probably works better against one dimensional sides like that who you know are just going to punt it into the mixer and look for ricochets etc I feel it's less effective against footballing sides who exploit you down the wings |  |

I like that set up on 18:44 - Jan 1 with 2238 views | Keaneish | He has to stick with that side. We then have players we can directly swap out ie: Keane - Norwood Sears - Jackson Bishop / Dozzell - Judge Nolan - Huws Skuse - Downes Kenlock - Garbutt Donacien - Edwards Today’s setup and selection had a good balance to it and no real square pegs into us holes. We created good chances and played some lovely football. Changing it now would be mental. Can’t remember what system Accrington played but so what. Keep the system and maybe even start the same side against Exeter. |  |

Can’t agree with that, we looked ok but considering the pedigree and wages of that side you would expect a lot better. The defence looked like it could buckle under any pressure, we tried to play a passing game but 2 nd half especially could not retain possession and lacked composure, we looked like we needed an extra midfielder to me. Having said all that Wycombe looked a tricky side and are top and at home.. |  |

I don’t know what you’re talking about but what I do know is that Paul Lambert was handed a massive contract extension today which I find hilarious. #PL2025 |  |

Not sure I agree with that. I thought we knocked it around well, put good balls in the box and looked far more dangerous than we have for a while. Give that side a run of five games and it’ll get better. Thought Garbutt and Edwards held their shape well today to keep the width and make the five across the middle. |  |

The main difference between the 2 is the 3rd centre back moves forwards 5-10 yards and plays just in front of the defence opposed to as part of the defence. All formations can have tweaks but that is the fundamental difference between these 2 |  |

Yes I understand tweaking systems but to say 3.5.2 and a diamond midfield are virtually the same is wrong. A back 3/5 and a back 4 are completely different for starters |  | |  |
I like that set up on 11:53 - Jan 2 with 1596 views | MrTown | Being a good manager is getting the very best out of what you have at your disposal. I think that formation is the best formation that fits the players best. Very good wing backs, 2 centre forwards and a number 10. Holy KVY - Chambers - Skuse - Woolfenden - Garbutt Downes - Huws Judge Jackson - Norwood |  |
