I'm liking that team, midfield diamond and two upfront

 

[Joey66]

It isn't bad at all.

We just shouldn't be wearing a third strip at Southampton.

If we blend in with the grass our players upfront, and in midfield will be camouflaged to ghost into an attacking goalscoring position!

 

[yakublue]

I love it when we play without any width at all

DIAMOND

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Hoddle and Wright just exposed Martinez tactics, but it was nothing we haven't all summed up 8 months ago.

Said Lukaku being wasted playing him with his back to goal, he needs the ball played infront of him, spot on Hoddle.

Said we need to get the fullbacks bombing on again and cut out the slow passing build up, it's ok keeping the ball, just move it quicker front to back, spot on again.

 

[Matthew mcdonnell]

There's gonna be nothing down the left hahah

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

What's happened to Oviedo?

 

[AaronTheBlue]

team no wingers

 

[Titus Bramble]

IS THIS A PLAN B?! MARTINEZ DOESN'T HAVE ONE THOUGH

Good strong bench btw

 

[Khalekan]

Oviedo not even on the bench

Bad times if he ain't injured.

Worse times even if he is......it means we have three recognised left backs and not one available to play.

How Everton is that?

 

[Matthew mcdonnell]

Can see Ross getting more freedom to drive forward but it's just gonna be too narrow I think

 

[john_r]

Love this team. However, please tell me that Oviedo isn't injured again!

 

[polish]

Could be a diamond 442. Like the sounds of it, hope we're not too narrow in attack.

 

[Josep]

No wingers, which is even worse without Baines or Oviedo. Don't understand the line-up. There will be a clog in the middle.

 

[Walken]

ah the no winger system, I've been hoping he would change his one winger system, and he has

cleverly, barry or macarthy will never get dropped so we play an appalling system to squeeze them in, this manager will be leading a relegation fight in the coming months
