To Dare Is To Do.

To Dare Is To Do.

Unless we seriously invest in our defence, I see no point sticking with the 343 formation. It isn't providing us with defensive solidity, and we don't control enough games either. I wonder if a move to 4-4-2 could suit our players' strengths better.

Lloris
Emerson Romero Lenglet Sessegnon
Kulusevski Bissouma Bentancur Perisic
Kane Richarlison

Son as the sub CF, and Gil as the sub LM/RM.

It’s time to play like every other fucker in the league and play 4-3-3.

Maybe use Djed Spence as a rb

Forster
Romero / Dier / Davies
Kulu / Biss / Skipp / Bentancur / Perisic
Kane / Richarlison​

Balance.
Extra body in MF.
Plenty of support for the back 3.
6 players can join the attack.
Rom & Davies can also squeeze up when appropriate.

Bench:
Lloris
Doh / Spence
Sanchez / Lenglet
Sarr / PEH
Gil / Son

Yes I see what you’re saying but that doesn’t get round the Lloris howlers which are becoming more frequent
 
You can put this bunch of players in any position or formation and the end result will be the same.

The quality simply isnt there.

I think RWB is too defensive for Kulu- hence I’d prefer the 442.

Agree that there is no justification in a back 3 that leaks goals. Just bizarre in the extreme and that the manager persists with it, suggests a complete abrogation of brain and duty.

In terms of the personnel to fit into the system you propose no idea but that is the same belief I have in the manager and his actions at present. A man with no idea.

They say if it ain't broke...well it's broken and we can't ask Jim because we know what he did.

But right now nearly any formation is better than what we are being dished-up.
 
4231

,.......................Hugo
Doc....... Romero......Dier....... Perisic
.......... Bentacur......PEH
Kulu........ Richie........Son
................Kane

Let Kane and Richie swap about during the game at will.
Maybe swap Perisic for Son and bring in Davies.

Buy a decent creative AM and let them play

Neither of those are full backs. Son?!! PEH? Lloris? You are fucking clueless about almost all matters

You obviously don't have a clue as to how to set up a team with attacking full backs.

Go and have a lie down before you get a headache.

It's obviously too technical for you to realise that this team is based on the players we have now.
 
Conte has history with 424. Just go with that.

Forster
Spence - Romero - Dier - Davies
Bissouma - Bentancur
Kulusevski - Kane - Richarlison - Gil

Fuck it.
