Re: Starting lineup...
I imagine it's more Ward going left back when defending, with Taylor going wide left. Brady going right back when defending and Hendrick going wide right... I think.

Re: Starting lineup...
It's good that he's experimenting though. Maybe be thinks Taylor could do a job in central midfield.

Interesting that he's rested (protected) our starting central midfield and starting forwards.

Re: Starting lineup...
Something similar to this would be my reckoning. Only really puts Taylor out of position, but does slot things nicely into a back 5 if needs be. Brady may well end up being deeper to cover Tarks, with Hendrick pushing further up. I have to say, I am intrigued. I do wonder why Sam isn’t playing though. I suspect it has been designed to play on the break

Re: Starting lineup...
Wow what were the odds on that line up , 40/1
Re: Starting lineup...
How about Defour being told to push on to support the front two in the knowledge that there’s strength behind?Roosterbooster wrote:Something similar to this would be my reckoning.

Re: Starting lineup...
When I saw the line up I assumed 4411, Tarks at right back and Taylor left midfield as per Barnsley, with one of Brady and McNeil on the right and the other playing off Vydra.
Said a few times that McNeil looks to me me to have the tools to be a genuine option as a number 10, and he's played that role coming through the age groups I believe. It may well be that Dyche wants to take a look at him there today.

Re: Starting lineup...
City have pretty much put out a first choice XI.
All those who don’t start every week are still class (Gundogan, Mahrez, Jesus), and have the actual first choice replacement on the bench.
Chance for this Burnley team to show what they can do, and push for a starting berth. Very tough test. Very capable team though. I’d be surprised if any of these don’t feature in at least someone’s best XI

Re: Starting lineup...
About 5 seconds after I posted it though, I thought that the most likely lineup was a simple 541 with either Ward or Taylor in a back 3:SalisburyClaret wrote:I think Roosterbooster has sorted out the team from the rubbish graphics
Pope
Tarks Long Gibson Ward / Taylor
Brady Defour Hendrick McNeil
Vydra
I still prefer my lineup though. Much more exciting, and fitting to play against City

Re: Starting lineup...
Anyone who can’t see it as a 5-3-2 while defending (most of the game) switching to quick break 3-5-2 when we get the ball (rarely today) really does need to take a step back and think.

Looks like 4-5-1 to me. Long RB Ward LB, Taylor in front of Ward, Brady on the right, Vydra up top on his own.

Re: Starting lineup...
McNeil, as per the image in the first post. Granted, it may be 5-3-1-1 or 3-5-1-1 on the break, but the top 2 can be flexible, but it’s still a top 2...Roosterbooster wrote:I have had a step back. Had a quick think.

Re: Starting lineup...
I fear a bit of a trouncing with City's team and our makeshift one who have hardly played: De Bruyne, Mahrez, Jesus, Fernandinho, Stones, Walker against Defour, brady, long, Gibson, Vydra,Ward . Wow, a bit of a difference!!

Are we going for a record most players out of position, very odd formation to say the least.

Re: Starting lineup...
well, we've scrpaed through the 1st half with it being only 1 so there's a chance if we change something a half time. Vydra clearly not happy in the role and up top alone isnt working; looks a sad lonely figure. Vegas above had it spot on before with his formation.

Re: Starting lineup...
To be fair I would have sat Wood down as City scored their third and saved him for Tue. At least we managed to get a touch in their half after Wood came on. Vydra looked a long way out of his depth.Bin Ont Turf wrote:With Barnes.

Re: Starting lineup...
We play a mix-n-match lineup whereas City decide to play their 1st XI. No shock we get thumped again. Dyche really does make his priorities clear
