old_eastender Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 Fed up with us being overrun in CM, Walsh needs to be given a chance - at least he can consistently pick a pass.

Mäenpää Hunt | Webster | Baker | Dasilva Hegeler Watkins | Brownhill | Walsh | Eliasson Weimann think Kelly needs a rest, Dasilva needs a game think Pack needs a rest think Walsh deserves a chance Weimann to okay on the shoulder again very harsh on Taylor (sorry Matty)....alternatively, 442, but no Hegeler in HDM, and play two up top.

I almost agree with this but I would have O’Dowda in there somewhere, Eliasson has been hopeless lately where as COD has shown some semblance of form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 The back four pick themselves, as do Pack and Brownhill. It’s the wide men and the strikers that LJ ‘rotates’. As others have said Walsh has to be considered but unless he’s impressing LJ in training I can’t see him getting a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack has played very poorly (by his own standards admittedly) in 2 of the last 3 games. LJ tells us Walsh has been good in training, so why not give him a start? He did with Pato!

pongo88 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 I like Taylor, and I think City play better with him in the team, but for some reason he hasn’t been able to score regularly in the Championship. It’s probably a crazy thought, but I wonder if he could play in a creative midfield position with Weimann and Diedhiou as the front two? He tends to run into wide positions so this would provide width. To balance this have Pack, Brownhill and Watkins in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems pretty clear that LJ doesn’t feel Walsh is an option unless he plays three in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point he’s gonna have to weigh up the risk reward of resting one of them, and / or changing the shape to play a 3. He may decide not to change anything!!!

He tends to run into wide positions so this would provide width. To balance this have Pack, Brownhill and Watkins in midfield An interesting idea- he got 4 or 5 assists in his first half season IIRC. So like a 4-3-1-2? My reservation there is that unsure Watkins can play centrally and do enough to affect the game from there if it's a 3. If it's Pack with wingers, then Pack if pressed intensely could be badly exposed which in turn would leave the defence vulnerable. Another idea could be to have him and Weimann both up front, with say Watkins, Brownhill, Pack, O'Dowda as the 4, then in the midfield and defensive phase, one if not both of Weimann and Taylor drop back in to make a 4-4-2-0- a bit like the Paterson behind Reid in that respect. Both more capable of this than Diedhiou IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no Dave....the tombola is being cleaned and enjoying a good spraying of WD40 in readiness for the returning injuries.....(that awful squeek was so annoying) On a side note I think we must start with Taylor..

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 A controversial idea but could Weimann is a bit knackered and needs a rest. Would be reluctant indeed to drop him but never know it might be an idea. Maenpaa Hunt Webster Baker Kelly Hegeler Watkins Brownhill Pack O'Dowda Taylor Reason for Watkins is because he gives a bit more physical presence than Eliasson, Taylor is a real, real pest for defences (so is Weimann though) and Hegeler sitting, screening we just haven't seen yet- think it could actually play to some of his strengths personally. Or maybe: Maenpaa Hunt Webster Baker Kelly Watkins Brownhill Pack O'Dowda Walsh Weimann OR Taylor It's mostly as above, but Walsh can drop back into the midfield during the defensive phase, can help press during the midfield phase and can roam a bit supporting Weimann or Taylor when we're pushing on. Because he's more of a CM than a number 10, he has a chance of fulfilling this requirement I think. Weimann or Taylor? Depends on whether we think Weimann is a bit knackered. Tbh with the wingers, they all bring various attributes- may well be that O'Dowda and Eliasson best at home, when looking to be on front foot.
