I hate 352

 

[Giovanni]

I presume poch is looking to fly out of the traps after his criticism of our 1st half v united. Try get a couple of goals ahead and truy defend the last 30mins bringing on dier and wanny

 

[werty]

Hoping it's 3421, but I don't mind 352 too much against a front two.

Lamela is just coming back from an injury so I guess Poch thinks that this squad is strong enough for Watford and want to save the strongest available match day squad for the Liverpool game.

Now for some real football

 

[Giovanni]

Will be interesting to see how we do without dier in the cdm role. Ive wanted to see dembele in that role for a long while i think we should prove quite efficient at moving the ball forwards.

And also to add. It will be fascinating to see who drops in with dembele and how they cope with doucore and capoue.

Dembele as holding midfielder? Quite brave

I like it. When we played 3 in the back plus Dier last season it never worked.

 

[Trix]

My apologies, been out of the loop as been busy lately, but other than possibly the DUI, does anyone mind filling me in on why Lloris is not participating in this match?

Thigh strain.

I was reading some articles about bielsa this morning and wondered if we might try and emulate his system at some point this season.

 

[Phomesy]

COYS!

 

[TonyWant]

Hard to see a game changer on the bench if we are not doing well
Maybe Llorente

Theres not much difference dude. The formation changes itself throughout the game. The only constant throughout 90 minutes is 3 at the back and the 2 wingbacks.

 

[thinktank]

I don't think 3 at the back is for us anymore.

saying that, there's more than enough in that 11 to get al 3 points if all apply themselves properly.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

Me likey. Good to see Poch rotating his systems again and hopefully keep being prepared to make early changes if it isn’t working.

I think 3 at the back is a good formation for us but theres no need for another ultra defensive CM like dier or wanyama. Hence this lineup tonight is perfect for a back 3 formation.

Hate the way you've tucked the wing backs into central midfield.
