Salford v Clarets Match Thread

[RVclaret]

Here is the team

[Selby Claret]

Bets on the second full back……?

[Hedontplayforyou]

Cork at centre half?

Larsen central with Berge ?

Larsen left back?

Who knows

[randomclaret2]

Its a 2-3-5 ....We've gone back to Victorian times

[RVclaret]

Muric
Vitinho O’Shea Delcroix Larsen
Cork Berge
Benson Zaroury Odobert
Rodriguez

Something like that I’d guess at. Given we’ll be camped in their half most of the game Larsen will likely play as a left winger in possession.

[summitclaret]

Sounds like Cork at cb.

I thought this or flip Larsen and Odobert

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Strong team. Where's Redmond?

[claretandy]

Muric
Vitiniho O'Shea Delcroix
Zaroury cork Berge Brunn larsen
Benson Jay Odebert

[RVclaret]

Strong team. Where's Redmond?

Injured apparently

[Roosterbooster]

I'm not sure we need 2 CBs alongside 2 FBs
Play Delcroix as both, get Cork to drop when needs be

I expect we will have about 80% of the ball

...................Muric
Vitinho ....O'Shae ...Delcroix
...........Cork ......Berge
Benson.... Zaroury .......JBL
.............JRod Odobert

Re-inverted the pyramid?

[northernpowerhouse]

Muric
Larsen O'Shea Delcroix Vitinho
Cork Berge
Benson Odobert Zaroury
Rodriguez

Larsen providing width on the right with Benson cutting in, Zaroury staying wide left and Vitinho cutting inside.

[boatshed bill]

I'm guessing:
Muric,
Vitinho, O'Shea, Delcroix,
Bruun-Larsen, Berge, Cork, Zaroury,
Benson, Rodriguez, Odobert.

What a bench!!

[AshevilleNCClaret]

does this count towards foster's 3 game match ban?

[Tribesmen]

Evening all from what is a dry evening so far here in Galway but the storm is on the way and i hope the Clarets can brew one up tonight as well .
It's been some couple of weeks here in Galway as Galway United won the 1st division title with 5 games to spare , first trophy in 26 years and are in the semis final of the FAI Cup , love to see the Clarets in a final also .

[claretandy]

Radio lancs say its this...

Muric
Vitiniho Oshea cork Delcroix
...........Berge
......Zaroury.. Brunn larsen
Benson Jay Odebert

[claretandy]

does this count towards foster's 3 game match ban?

Yes.

does this count towards foster's 3 game match ban?

yes

[Pickles]

Never much point in speculating what "it'll be" because it'll change every other five minutes.

[roperclaret]

O’Shea Muric Delacroix

Berge Cork Vitinho

Benson JBL. Zaroury

Jay Rod

Odobert


Rush Goalie

[jedi_master]

A weird team but one that is ridiculously comfortable with the ball at it’s feet. Could be a really high possession stat for us tonight.

[Rick_Muller]

Working the formation from the front

……………….Jay Rod
Zaroury………………………Benson
Odobert……….Berge……….Larsen
…………………….Cork
Delcroix…..O’Shea……Vitinho
…………………..Muric


Is my guess

Congratulations Tribesmen, see you in the premier Division next year!

[Rick_Muller]

I’m fairly certain it ain’t this!

We did manage to win the league in 1960 with that formation

[Tribesmen]

Congratulations Tribesmen, see you in the premier Division next year!

Thanks Derry looking forward to it

Not often you say that, it's normally .

[Elizabeth]

Great test of whether this starting eleven can play together and control the game seeing as it's basically a brand new team this season.

[CrosspoolClarets]

I keep thinking this, but…..best bench in the history of the club???

[HunterST_BFC]

FFS Sceachy Vikki Sparks on coms

[Whitgord]

and Gangsta Morrison the allocated pundit on SSN.

[Lowbankclaret]

Jack Cork playing CB WTF.

[claretspice]

Cork as centre back - natural role for him I think in this team. Good opportunity for Berge to play in a role where he has the chance to dictate the game.

[nil_desperandum]

Jack Cork playing CB WTF.

Why not in a game like this? He reads the game well, can head a ball and is a good passer.
All part of our developing fluidity and "total football" ethos.

[Pickles]

Jack Cork playing CB WTF.

Good position for him against the right sort of opposition.

[Longsider]

Jack Cork playing CB WTF.

Yes I was surprised at first but in VK we trust

[Spiral]

Yay easy easy easy

[Longsider]

Yeees

[Longsider]

Sander Ice Berg back post headed corner

[Spiral]

Why not in a game like this? He reads the game well, can head a ball and is a good passer.

Mascherano and Fernandinho, both played in total football sides, both were defensive midfielders, both ended up slaying it at centre back when needed.

[simonclaret]

Simple header from a corner, Berge.

[tarkys_ears]

Berge, beautiful!

Should have been on earlier on Saturday!

He's gotta be starting and he's gotta be our target man - he looks phenomenal.

[Rick_Muller]

Berge Berge Berge is the word oh sander Berge berge Berge is the word…

[boatshed bill]

Jack Cork playing CB WTF.

I think this is a worthwhile experiment.

[Longsider]

Benson down

[scouseclaret]

Salford are in serious trouble if they’re conceding from a corner against us!

[Longsider]

Benson going off. Not good.

[boatshed bill]

Benson off. Koleosho on.

[Spiral]

Berge felt like one of those 'this could quietly be the signing of the summer' signings. Dodgy first few games, but they were against City and Villa so it's forgivable, but he gives us something no one else in the team does.
