We may well see Lukic and Florentino start in a deep pivot in Berlin and against Sunderland. But not sure that brings some of the link play we need. |  |

Yeah agreed bluefunk. After I posted I thought it’s not just the central midfield pairing to solidify us, it’s the back three option as well. Look at the two set-ups below. One will make us very hard to break down, but is it too defensive? How do we get creative ball to what is essentially 3 forwards? Tougher opponents: ————————Scherpen —————OShea——Diop—-Greaves RWB—Florentino/Matusiwa—Lukic—Davis ————Fatawu————-Maeda ——————-#9/Emerson ‘Easier’ opponents: ————————Scherpen OShea——Diop—-Greaves——Davis —Florentino/Matusiwa—#8/Nunez Fatawu——Egeli/#10——Maeda ——————-#9/Emerson |  |

I’d see us being very flexible in game tbh. I think the three CBs are first choice, plus I’d see Fatawu looks like a hybrid right winger/wingback, with Davis the same in the left. Where a solid defence is the priority, Matusiwa and Florentino play with Luiz the box to box between them, with a solo striker so we can play on the break to score. Where we fancy our chances, a more adventurous 4 2 3 1 or even a 4222, the latter getting width from the wing backs. In those formations we might sacrifice a centre back (or trust OShea to provide width). That way we have security through the centre of the pitch plus bodies to press high on transition. |  | |  |

We also have the option to go 3 in centre mid - Florentino - Lukic - #8, without a recognised 10. Might be best if we think the game is going to be a batter in centre mid. |  | |  |
