You'd have to drop Davies to a LB and sit Adekugbe I know everyone says Davies is the world best LB but he sure the hell ain't the world's best LB at defending. And we will be doing a lot of defending and looking to hit on the break.. which Bayern never have to do So I like Davies as a quick outlet or picking up scraps and counter attacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I can't see only a two man central midfield if one of the starters is a 39 year old who has hardly played this season. Gonna need one more true central mid in that grouping. Free kick, P-O and lamptern 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offensively, Hoilett can also play as a 10 and Davies can roam. I think David can play as a 9 effectively. I’d rather have buchanan on the field instead of larin any day.

Kadenge Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 We need to minimize KDB's time on the ball otherwise he will shred us to pieces. Think JH will use the same tactics/set up v Mexico at Azteca. Press their D so they don't have time to build out from the back. It's risky but we need to play to our strengths. If we play defensively, we will give up free kicks in the final 3rd and its game over. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red v Morocco Makes sense to wear white especially if Belgium wear their red jerseys and wearing our black jerseys against Croatia I actually would love that and they can wear their traditional white and red checkered jersey and for Morocco if we wear our red jerseys, Morocco can wear their alternate jersey. I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you use what Saudi Arabia did to Argentina and play similar tactics and park the bus against Belgium, create a wall out there and then catch Belgium on the counter I definitely would employ those tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-O Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 If we play 5 defenders, we lose the midfield battle. If we play 5 midfielder, we are at risk with our 2 CBs. TGAA_Star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker911 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Almost every lineup I have seen has at least 10 of the same names. Borjan, Adekugbe, Miller, Vitoria, Johnston, Eustaquio, Hutchinson, David, Davies, and Buchanan. Unless there is a knock they should all be a given. The last spot is going to say alot about our formation and system. It is 1 of either Larin, Laryea, Hoilett, Osorio, or Kone. king1010 and TGAA_Star 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Davies Hoillet Eustaquio Hutch Buchanan Adekugbe Miller Vittoria Johnston Borjan I 100% agree with the players you have. I disagree with the formation. We have played all recent games with a back 3 so I don’t know why herdman would do that and then switch to a 4. My prediction - Buchanan drops in wingback Davies David and hoilett up top.

My prediction - Buchanan drops in wingback Davies David and hoilett up top. yeah, that might be what Herdman does, but i am not sure it is wise. I feel Miller needs some help on the left side, and I'd love to see Adegkube slot in there. A couple of things to note: If we clog the middle of the pitch, that will likely force Belgium down the wings. Most of France's joy today came from their wing play. Last WC, Belgium was down 2 goals to Japan, struggling to win the midfield, and so they started ripping down the wings. Lots of goals being scored with the head so far this WC. I feel we might need two CBs with Sam and Alistair on the flanks. But all will be known tomorrow morning, bright and early. 20.5 hours until kick off!

These formations are hardly as rigid as we all imagine them to be. Watch us without possession through much of WCQ and the shape often shifts to 4 at the back (usually Adekugbe tucking in at LB and shifting everyone to the right). kacbru and PastPros 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Davies Hoillet Eustaquio Hutch Buchanan Adekugbe Miller Vittoria Johnston Borjan As I see it, we will need to invite and cope with danger in order to find space on the counter. The only way I'm comfortable with two at the back is if our third mid is a pure defensive mid like Piette. Remember, 5 at the back converts to a 3-4-3 when we have the ball. 3 at the back gives us a lot of tactical flexibility. I struggled with not starting Hoilett. He is so important to slowing the play when need be. But, given that I believe we will be doing more defending than attacking tomorrow, I think we need Laryea's tenacity and physicality out there for this game. Can't wait to see him get in someone's face tomorrow. Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
