Team with new signings an formation when all fit.

[BirkenheadBlue]

won't be horrible when we are smashing teams 5-0

The only way that happens is if we’re 5-0 up already and you somehow convince Frank to move everyone to that horrific formation for the final minute of the match.

Away from home could go 4/4/1/1

Pickford
Patterson Coady Tark Myko
Gueye
Onana. Garner. Iwobi
Gordon
DCL

 

[coleman=quality]

GK: Pickford
RB: Patterson
LB: Mykolenko
CB: Tarkowski
CB: Mina (because you said everyone was fit)
CDM: Gana
CM: Onana
CM: Iwobi
RW: Gray
LW: Gordon
ST: Dominic Calvert-Lewin

This also gives us options of the below in order of preference:
RB: Coleman
LB: Vinagre
CB: Coady, Godfrey, Holgate, Keane
CM: Garner, Allan, Davies
Forwards: McNeil, Maupay

This is a decent team with actual bench options that could change a game.
There’s also some kids coming through I don’t know enough about yet.

Mina doesn’t start for me anymore fit or not needs to be on the bench can’t create a partnership at the back then interrupt it when his body fancies being ok for a few games no thanks once fit wrap him in bubble wrap and get rid of him.

Already posted in the summer transfer thread but...

----------- Calvert-Lewin --------------
--- Gray ------------------- Gordon ---
---------------- Iwobi ------------------
--------- Gana ------- Onana ---------
-- Myko -- Tarks -- Coady -- Patterson
--------------- Pickford ----------------

Leaving backup options

--------------- Maupay ------------------
--- McNeill --------------- Townsend ---
---------------- Garner -------------------
--------- Allan -------- Doucouré -------
-- Vinagre -- Mina -- Holgate* - Coleman -
---------------- Begovich ----------------

*Holgate/Keane/Godfrey in that backup CB role after Mina. Davies and Rondon nowhere near the squad

Wingback formation with 4 centrebacks

Don’t disagree. The question was if everyone was fit though and if he was always fit he’s our best CB

Might be better with 11 players Macca. lol

 

[dylsexicbleu]

No mate.

Probably 4-3-3, Gana, Onana and Iwobi in midfield, pick two from Gordon Gray and McNeil and pick a striker.

The other option is 3-4-3 where you do the same thing but you also have to drop a midfielder for Mason Holgate so I wouldn't do that.

I thought McNeil was outstanding defensively against Leeds. No idea what the first 11 will be going forward but I'd feel safer defensively if McNeil plays tomorrow.

 

[Nymzee]

Why've you got a centre mid at right mid

 

[fandjango]

My team formation is 4-4-2, team is

1. Pickford

2. Patterson. 4. Coady. 5. Tarkowski. 3. Mykolenko.

7. Garner. 6. Gueye. 8. Onana. 11. Gordon.

9. Calvert Lewin. 10. Maupay.

Well there it is....What's you're pick ?

So you dropped our best player this season and the last quarter of last season lol

 

[PeregrineT]

I think theres two primary formations, one when you are playing a weaker team you expect to attack a lot. The other when you are playing a team where you expect to defend a lot and hope to pick one on a counter or something.

The team when you face Bournemouth

Pickford

Patterson - Coady - Tarkowski - Mykolenko

Iwobi - Gana - Onana

McNeil - Calvert-Lewin - Gordon

One more midfielder than a back 5, Patterson can get up and provide width while McNeil tucks inside, and has more time and space against a weaker side to hit passes. In essence Gordon and Patterson provide the width here, Myko hangs back more, and behind DCL Iwobi and McNeil end up pushing in.

The team when you face Arsenal

Pickford

Patterson - Holgate - Coady - Tarkowski - Mykolenko

Gana - Iwobi

Gray - Calvert-Lewin - Gordon

You add in one defender, attackers except for DCL drop in to help defend, The key is you want solid defence and then a quick counter attack, so while Gordon and Gray help out defensively, you then use their speed for a quick counter especially on anything DCL holds up. While McNeil has good defensive workrate I dont think hes ideal for this setup unless you have the lead or really expect to rely on Gordon and DCL for counters. You could also add back a midfielder, and just leave Gordon and DCL up top.

For the most part your new bench is Begovic, Coleman, Mina/Holgate, Garner, Doucoure, McNeil/Gray, Maupay, Vinagre, Allan
