where's the joy Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 here's a starting team to consider; unlikely perhaps but might get a run in the Carabao with a 3,1,3,2.1 formation next season O'Leary Vyner Webster Kelly Moore Morrell Brownhill Walsh Eisa Eliason Adelukan subs; old boys like Pack, Smith, Diedjhou, Patterson, Wright sold off COD, Baker, Watson sent back; Da Silva ,Kalas, Palmer what team would you pick if you really want to give youth a chance?

Unan Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Eisa will be 26 next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Maenpaa Hunt Webster Kelly Pring/New LB Eliasson Brownhill Pack Paterson Semenyo Diedhiou No qualms if that's our team next season. Forza pathway. Personally wouldn't sign any of the Chelsea loanees atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22A Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 Worthwhile thoughts posted above, but if City make it to the P/O and then get promoted, will it be blank sheet of paper time? Just to stay up, we'd have to replace many of the current squad and LJ might have to go cap in hand for extra cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 No way will we be playing that many academy/young players next season. Against Ipswich we had a tired team going into the game, Ipswich were playing a lot of their younger players, and were more or less relegated (only 3 wins all season). That was probably the best chance all season to rest players or try some of the youngsters - O'Leary, Morrell, Kelly and Semenyo at least should have started that game - instead we just got Kelly. So in optimum circumstances we are not really trusting these players, how Moore, Vyner etc will be trusted / be included as starters next season, not going to happen.

Probably the one out of the three I'd be most interested in signing. He's very neat and tidy, just worry a bit about him defensively and physically. If you can get Hunt for £1.6m could we get a solid LB for similar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalkeepers have a longer shelf life and often can peak late 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we can get Webster for the amount that Dasilva is rumoured to cost I think we could find a better deal value-wise for a LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So 3-5-2 would seem ideal for playing to the strengths of the squad he's got. It puzzles me that LJ doesn't want to go that way. OK for the last 20 mins as a Plan B but he doesn't fancy starting that way it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A back three of Webster Kalas and Kelly would have the potential to be quality, I still think we would need a quality striker alongside diedhiou for us to play 3-5-2 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it will rise to £8m, guess depends if we go up before he moves on. Dasilva is a good player but not sure he's worth spending £3-5m.

Are you sure Lyon bidded 10 million when we only paid 1.5? He is one for the future isn't he. He's only 21 and nowhere near his prime. Kelly, Brownhill, Eliasson, O'Dowda were all once not involved much but are all now regulars. Vyner I expect takes Pisano's place next season and is involved a lot in the first team squad. Adelakun possibly comes in for O'Dowda who might move on. I expect Walsh to kick on next season. LJ will play these young players when they are ready. No idea where he would play ar champ level though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he will next season , however you really need a full pre-season to coach such a change in shape, or bring in players that are used to playing that system - which isn’t going to happen. The problem with playing three at the back in the Championship is that most team only play one central striker and you then have space left elsewhere if you play a three and when the opposition play 4-3-3 you leave lots of gaps if you go man for man at the back. To counter that you pull your wing backs in and you become a 5 and then limit the pace that you can attack at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
