Team vs Leicester - new thread
We are in desperate trouble and a formation change is high risk but is the only way imo that we may upset Leicester
3-5-1-1
—————————Pope
———Collins——Tarks——Mee
Lowton Westwood Stevens McNeil Taylor
—————————Lennon
————————Rodriguez
Roberts not quite PL match ready yet
Stevens to be replaced by Brownhill after 60-70 minutes

We need, first and foremost, to avoid being overrun by Leicester's midfield, that's for sure.

Re: Team vs Leicester - new thread
I am always intrigued by suggestions for line-ups and this one hasn't changed my perception. Rodriguez doesn't appear to have anyone anywhere near him but I'm even more confused by what Lennon is supposed to do. The last time we played three at the back a very ordinary Everton side beat us 5-1. And what if Stevens(Stephens) was having a good game and Tarkowski/Mee was having a 'nightmare'?

Re: Team vs Leicester - new thread
Cork should be nowhere near the team on recent showings. Roberts and Collins for Lowton and Tarkowski. On recent showing I’d have Lennon on the right over the continually ineffective JBG.Iloveyoubrady wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 2:08 pmPope

If I had alternatives I wouldn’t be picking Westwood or Tarkowski (we could play Long I suppose) as they have been awful and need a kick up the arse, in my opinion. I think injuries, AFCON and Wood leaving mean we simply MUST consider this formation change.

Re: Team vs Leicester - new thread
Newcastleclaret - When I have watched Tucker recently (albeit on the telebox) he seems to be not quite at as at it as he was. However been given a first team berth might just be the spark he needs. Like I said on the U23's thread, Costelloe has looked a goal threat coming in from wide.

From the U 23's straight into a struggling side to face a good team like Leicester. He must be some player. Almost as ludicrous as getting rid of your centre forward with no one to replace him. And the clock ticks on.

It’ll be the usual with 4-4-2 with Lennon just off Jay. Dyche is eternally predictable.

Lancaster - of course it’s fanciful. But come Saturday we may be in the ream of the ridiculous. Hope it doesn’t come to this but is the idea of using our reserve players when he have few other options, is it that fanciful.Lancasterclaret wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 5:46 pmSurely this is completely fanciful till we know who is fit and who isn't?

Re: Team vs Leicester - new thread
I can't see a 3 at the back formation really. But with our lack of forward options I think it might work to have McNeil behind Jay. I'd also make a point about dropping Tarks. I would drop Mee too if I thought Long was good enough.
Pope
Lowton Collins Mee Taylor
Lennon Stevens Westwood Gudmunsson
McNeil
Rodriguez
Or maybe Brownhill in for either Westwood or Lennon

Lennon to freshen things up when required. Not much option really with this side.
Stephen’s because I think he has showed a calmness since getting in the pitch these last couple of weeks. Not suggesting he’s the answer we are looking for regarding creativity but he holds the ball and passes well.
Collins because Tarks is off, hasn’t signed a contract and clearly wants out or he would have by now. Collins is the future, not Tarks. No problem with Tarks, good player, but he’s part of the past.

Why would anyone pick Bardsley
If he goes 442 and Vydra is fit, he must start him and Jay.
I’d like to see Roberts but suspect it’s too soon after his return and I’d certainly be tempted to give Collins a game.

Dropping Tarks is crazy. Get off his back ffs. Playing Collins as well as Mee and Tarks is a no brainer. We have 1 fit striker
Pope
Collins Tarks Mee
Lowton Westwood Brownhill Taylor
Lennon Jay Dwight
No way Cork should start. He is knocked over way to easily. Brownhill's legs in cm are crucial.

Vydra isn’t fit. We need him fit (as it stands) for the six pointers to come. Dyche has more idea of Roberts progress than you are I. Others call him for it but I’m happy to let him tell me when he’s ready, he sees him every day.arise_sir_charge wrote: ↑Thu Jan 13, 2022 7:18 pmWhy would anyone pick Bardsley

Re: Team vs Leicester - new thread
And in my formation.. we need a full back who can stand up for himself and fight - traditional full back roll. The left is weighted to protect Dwight and Taylor and cut down their defensive workloads and hopefully free them up a bit to play forwards. I think Brownhill given the 10 on the left roll coming in, might just show us the attacking side of Brownhill’s game more to than the flat midfield.

Any team that doesn’t have Tarkowski , Gudmundsson and Cork starting.
I’m happy to give McNeil another go as long as he stops showboating his 40 yard cross field passes and does something useful for once this season
