Jurgen finally resolved that issue in our 4-2 mauling of them at Old Toilet towards the end of last season, I hope we will look at how we battered them in that game, the deeper line, the one stays one goes full back policy and Mo deliberately not playing up against Shaw, and not tracking him either, but playing mostly at inside forward in the 4312 we used that game, not against Shaw or Maguire and away from their DM that side and looking to be released in behind Shaw and one v one against Maguire, it really worked and despite missing several of our best players for the match, it was our best performance against them under Jurgen.
One the other side and part of how that 4312 worked, Jota played RFWD and was wide when Mo was inside and came into the centre when Mo was released in behind Shaw. Wan Bissaka is exceptional one v one, but he sucks when you get 2 or 3 players around him and look to release a player in behind him down the line or through the channel from there.
There are 95 minutes to win a football match, I'd prefer the same set up as the last meeting, 4312, Trent sitting more making the play, Hendo in front of him giving greater security that side, our more attacking mid and full back should be left side against the filthy, as their 2 CBs are a weakness, so looking to release Mo in behind Shaw and Mane, Robbo, Bobby or the more attacking mid in behind Wan Bissaka with little triangles and good movement is our best way to score the most goals against them
