| If it is 3 at the back... 11:27 - Jul 20 with 1246 views | surreyblue |
How do you think the rest of the team lines up? 343 or 352? The former seems more likely with the players we have on our books now? |  | | |  |

With Diop, we have 4 senior CB's following Baggott leaving.
People have gone very early on a back 3, with that number of CB's if it is to be a back 3 we'll need another one or two in yet. |  |

I think the jumping to conclusions comes from the fact that our captain and best defender plays RCB and now there is Diop who also plays there and is coming in to start games.
One isn't going to move to the left so that likely means we plan to play with a 3. | | | |

3-4-2-1 / 5-2-2-1 gets Davis a bit more width, which could be our best outlet again, but it's probably somewhere in between in reality, like what Kieran said/did.
Using currently available / rumoured, maybe something like:
------------------------Emersonn
-----------------Egeli-------------------Fatawu
Davis------------------------Morita
--------------Matusiwa-------------------Johnson
-------Greaves--------------------Diop
----------------------O'Shea
---------------------Scherpen
dropping into a defensive:
--------------------Emersonn
---------Egeli----------------------Fatawu
--------------Matusiwa--Morita
Davis--Greaves--O'Shea--Diop--Johnson
---------------------Scherpen |  |

That's all good. My point was, if we are playing a 3, we still need more at CB. | |

I agree. If we are playing with 3 CB's we need 5 I think. We definitely need another left-footed CB also. | | | |

Agreed.
Not to say we won't mix it up, but we'd need at least another one to play it consistently. |  |

You could probably pencil Furlong is as a right sided CB too. If we play with 3 at the back then he is more likely to be an option there than as a RWB/RW. You need attacking output from that position. | | | |

I agree with that - although I see that as the sixth CB and providing cover across both positions (particularly if we think that a 3atb should really be a 5atb in certain games). So assuming we sign Diop we would still likely want one more. | | | |

3421
Gary O'Neil used 4231 and 3421 at Strasbourg. Enciso sometimes playing the front man if 3421. |  | | |

GK: Scherpen
CD: O'Shea/ Diop/ Greaves
WB: Johnson/ Davis
CMF: Matusiwa/ Morita

I'd think away from home it will be 3 centre backs,
At home unless it's the big 6-8 not so sure, |  | | |

A rousing endorsement of Emersonn there! | |

I think it's been universally accepted that Emersonn will not be our main striker. | |

Good point - forgot JC somehow. Probably others too. | |

Not sure anyone really plays a 3-5-2 anymore do they? Struggling to think of examples. Agree on the above, can see Furlong as RCB cover. Also think Burns could well be ahead of Johnson in the RWB pecking order, but would assume we'll buy someone to start there. |  | | |

What universe is that? I havent seen even a suggestion of that.
I mean, if true then it's pretty bloody exciting that a 20+ mill striker isnt our main striker. | | | |

I could see Dara playing at RB in a back four. He’s got the pace and looked decent when he played there a couple of times last season. Would fit well as the more defensively minded fullback in the Tuanzebe role from last time, while Leif goes forwards. | | | |

Why would we play 3 CBs?
He mentioned 4-2-3-1 in his 1st presser. |  |

343 didnt work very well for man u last year.
Id rather we carried on with 4231 and make sure we have 2 good players in the 2 that can protect the back 4. |  |

Yep, I'm expecting him to play right back or right centre half in a 3, since we've signed Diop. |  | | |

I must be living in a cave. Havent seen any of that/those.
Oh ok then. I look forward to see who our 'main' striker is then. Exciting times. | | | |
