Only one keeper on the bench, @Goat is going to be livid!

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

I see him as a hybrid CB, as Moyes referred to him in his presser. He doesn't run into space to provide an outlet like a traditional full back, instead marking runners near the box. Lindstrom has spent most of his appearances in the old Coleman/Baines attacking full back areas providing this outlet than on the wing - who else covers this position today?

Alcaraz in the early Arteta role.

 

[Tylard]

This is the range of approximate payouts for league position finishes. 2.9 million per position. We can mathematically still finish 2nd. Watch out gunners.

 

[Gallaeo]

Sorry when was that? Genuinely?

Without a win surely?!

 

[siddharth]

Worried about Bowen perhaps?

More than Kudus? I think he just wants to play a five-person defense off possession. Just Alcaraz is a Midfielder, not so much a wide player.

Without a win surely?!

I know we went 14 without a win last season, but I’m struggling to find a 12 game unbeaten streak I must admit.

 

[T LEAFE]

Were going to get hammered today

 

[Fedlingen]

This has 3-5-2 written all over it. Myko and Harrison the wide players. Actually wouldnt mind that.

 

[HTCHERO]

Harrison has one skill and that's being a translator for Alcaraz. I'd love to keep getting work when I'm terrible at my craft.

Alcaraz in the early Arteta role.

Alcaraz in the early Arteta role.

Arteta was more advanced than Lindstrom has been. Garner is most likely to my mind or it could well be our first glimpse at the old stubborn, negative Moyes with square pegs in round holes. Even Garner there has nowhere near the pace of Lindstrom to get up the pitch from deep wide areas. Harrison and Alcaraz is an unnecessary gamble as neither have ever played there.

 

[siddharth]

Expecting a tight 1-0 in our favour today... COYB

 

[Bryan+]

Patto! Patto! Patto!

Wonder who’s gonna be the first to say “definitely already on the beach this lot”.

 

[Ring master]

I hope wherever Alcaraz plays, does not take away from the way he has been playing. Any new postion may see him not play as well. He's the change we wanted, but maybe not where we think

 

[MikeH72]

This has 3-5-2 written all over it. Myko and Harrison the wide players. Actually wouldnt mind that.

Or more likely, Alcaraz will just be on the left.

 

[Straqayoko]

Myko left of a back 3 with Harrison LWB? Jigsaw of a lineup, a real head scratcher.
