Noooo!
Should drop mac, stick szobo as one i
of the 6s,
start rio on left.
But lets go with a failed teamsheet again.

[Nineteenx]

Team confirmed

Alisson

Frimpong Konate Virgil Kerkez

Szoboslai Gravenberch Macca

Salah Wirtz Ekitike

I’d not be playing Ekitike anywhere but inside LFWD where he’s most dangerous receiving the ball and I’d persist with a false 9 you lose identity keep changing formation all the fkn time

Get the win NO excuses

Stop overratibg Rio we’d be best off playing Ekitije there and Gakpo false 9 to get back to our identity and playing properly again

Gapko has been invisable all season.

[RedMagic]

Gapko has been invisable all season.

Whilst Ngumoah has looked dangerous every time he has played.

[Nineteenx]

Gapko has been invisable all season.

But he’s been better recently playing at false 9 and we’ve been a bit better

Ekitike’s been woeful at 9 for a few games and only looked dangerous picking it up in that inside left forward position so that’s what Slot should fkn do and get our press and counter press back in, something a false 9 helps a great deal with

Gives us the long diagonal to Ekitike against the full back too

I could use these players better than that clown it’s clear to see where the best use of most of thrn is, like Grav as a No6 in a 3 too

Fed up of his fkn shit

"How did it come to this?"

[darrenpotter]

Can we get a fucking high tempo start just for once

[Nineteenx]

Whilst Ngumoah has looked dangerous every time he has played.

He’s played with Gakpo dropping in more both starts I believe

Makes a difference, changes our whole shake and we get some patterns back a bit

Gives him a lot more room and twice with Robbo giving him the ball early when it’s on which Kerkez hardly ever does

For me, where he’s most dangerous when he received the ball there and how poor he’s been as a 9 against back 3’s and how having having a false 9 leaving the 3 no-one to mark fucks them up and having a player in between the low block and 3 to play off helps I would be playing

Ekitike inside left forward
Gakpo false 9
Salah or Wirtz who excelled there supported by Frimpong for Leverkusen at RFWD

Should have tried that v Spurs in preparation thst is hasn’t yet been is a fucking joke

Wirtz coming in has fkd everything up so employing common sense and given Mo’s form, play him in a position he and Frimpong have both excelled in, in combination with Ekitije coming in far post to penalty spot from inside left forward and Gakpo coming in just deep if the penalty spot

Get some link play going on our right try and release Szobo through the channel to score or square if

All things these players could do wasted by the fkn clown we have in charge

At least you’re not at the “Do not trust to hope, it has long since forsaken these lands” line

[Nineteenx]

I’m fkn fed up of Slot not trying the obvious

433 fakse 9 Wirtz Szobo Frimpong on the right could do some serious damage Grav back at 6 in a 3 Macca with a games 9 to play off

Ekitike getting service from the right coming in from the left through Wirtz Frimpong or Szobo and what a combo that 3 could be given 2 of them have already been excellent together elsewhere

Get back to pressing
Fkn do something

[miller0863]

Don’t worry Wirtz will save us

[Nineteenx]

Don’t worry Wirtz will save us

Do you get my point though Miller? With Wirtz knackering us up and Mo’s form why not play Wirtz at RFWD supported by Szobo and Frimpong working that area? Especially when Wirtz Frimpong gave worked so well there together elsewhere and any of the 3 could be released wide or through the channel or fed in an inside right position edge of the box to shoot or look to find Ekitije arriving from the left

It’s just common sense to me and could get a lot more out of 5 players
