Furious Custard Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Assuming any potential transfers in (or out!) Dont make the first 11. Who starts against Leeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789000 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 433 Bentley Hunt Kalas Moore DaSilva Brownhill Pack Szmodics Weimann Fam Eliasson Subs: Gilmartin Vyner Rowe COD Walsh Semenyo Paterson I've assumed Niki, Baker and Wright are injured? Think Clarke and Palmer (and a new number 9 ) will be signed too late to make the squad. The new arrivals should then pave the way for Matty Taylor to leave hence why I don't think he'll be on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southport Red Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I think Semenyo is banned @Gratbot. Otherwise, very probable looking squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I'd quite like to see, within the bounds of who is fit etc. and within the current squad assuming Webster and Palmer done deals and nobody else in or out- whether it happens different matter! Bentley Hunt Kalas Baker/Wright/Moore Da Silva Brownhill Pack Walsh Palmer Szmodics/O'Dowda Weimann Granted it's a bit imbalanced in places but I feel that possession will be key on Sunday. I also think with this mooted 3-3-1-3 of Leeds that there will be chances on the break, and speed of thought/movement with Palmer and Weimann linking will help with this, 3 in the centre also eases a bit of pressure on Brownhill and Pack and I do believe that at least 2 of them and maybe 3 could flourish moreso in a 3. Not a game for Diedhiou given a) The general defensive structure of Leeds b) It hinders Weimann out wide and c) He can't play all that fluidly unlike those others in the forward line/midfield. The contract thing I know may stick in the craw with some but I'd consider O'Dowda v Leeds certainly- that ability to interchange with Weimann and Palmer would come in handy Sunday!

Interesting selection and a well thought out one. One minor change i might make would be to include Rowe instead of Walsh. Have been impressed with him pre-season and offers more defensively. which would allow Pack to play a little further up the pitch. Pack when playing a bit further forward does tend to spot the Weimann runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 21 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: with this mooted 3-3-1-3 of Leeds that there will be chances on the break Agreed. The idea of that 3-3-1-3 is to overload the opposition's defence with 5 attackers. If we can absorb that kind of attack and then counter with width we should create the opportunity to stretch their back 3 and so create gaps between the middle man and the wide centre backs. I actually quite like your idea of resting Diedhiou for it as his presence will keep the Leeds' back three tight and central. Give them instead 3 or 4 smaller faster players running around them and we could see them stretched out of position. One thing though - when playing that formation do Leeds play a high line or do the three stay deep? Suspect we'll line up in the usual 4-2-3-1 but at least it's an interesting discussion. 5 minutes ago, Gillies Downs Leeds said: Interesting selection and a well thought out one.

Good shout, had almost forgotten about him- but yeah he can cover CM and LB, could be a shrewd signing.Better defensively than Walsh certainly. Agree, Pack higher up the pitch can only benefit us- he can help pick the runs of Weimann, we saw it on occasion last season v Bolton and Norwich IIRC, Pack Assist-Weimann Goal.

O'Dowda Weimann Brownhill/Rowe can both transition quickly to get forward and support Weimann Quite like the 2nd team- first one it is attack minded but fear could leave us a bit exposed on the counter. Not quite enough cover in the middle either potentially- 2nd team though, you could in some phases also play a bit of a double pivot Pack and Rowe, with Brownhill the central of the '3' and in some phases Rowe could sit and Pack look for Weimann, in other phases Pack could sit and we see what you say, the Brownhill/Rowe quick transitions.

There must be one though, but given the flexibility of that front 3 it can pull them out of position too, perhaps wider and exploit it quickly. Something about leaving the "spare man" but you're right, 3 v 1 on paper should nullify the striker quite easily yet I'm convinced there is a chink in the armour that a mobile- and it has to be the right sort of lone striker- can exploit v a back 3.

RCB steps over to the wing, CB moves to cover, LCB moves with and then there's space on the left. Or the LCB stays put and then there's a gap between him and the CB. If you ditch Fam and play Weimann centrally...but not as an out and out number 9 then our front 4 can exploit those gaps as their CBs move. 9 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: Agree, Pack higher up the pitch can only benefit us- he can help pick the runs of Weimann, we saw it on occasion last season v Bolton and Norwich IIRC, Pack Assist-Weimann Goal. We saw it for Bryan's goal way back against Man Utd. Pack pushing higher and sending a peach of a through ball straight through the channel between their RB and RCB.

And the only way they nullify that is by insisting one or two of their midfielders drop back to cover the space that the 3 defenders leave. This is a huge demand on the stamina of that guy...although in Barry Douglas they probably have the best in the division at doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what the midfield 3 is shaped like, if its 2 wingers/wing backs then it will depend on who plays there, defensive minded players (or like Bryan) and you can slot in with the extra defender required.

Absolutely. Can't remember the precise make up of the 3 in that tweet series but I suspect that's how they'd play it. Someone like Douglas dropping in to complete the 4 then moving into attack as he likes. I enjoy these debates although I'm sure Bielsa has all of this sorted!

reddogkev Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Webster anyone? With such a large possible transfer, I wouldn't be surprised if the move collapses for one reason or another. Question is, would he have the right frame of mind to play Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Fairly sure that Webster will still be on our books for Sunday, but given the high transfer fee we look like receiving, plus his absolute shocker last week, I wouldn't play him.

Negan Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 Bentley Hunt Kalas Wright Dasilva Smozdics Brownhill Weimann Palmer Eliasson Diedhiou palmer looks as though he’ll be here before the game and seeing as he knows everyone can’t see why he won’t be able to slot straight in. I’ve left Pack out as he’s been so poor since Man City knocked us out of the cup, you can’t even say he protects the back because he doesn’t. So for anyone saying the 2 CMS wouldn’t be ideal, would it really make a difference if Pack was in there? No. I’ve gone for something that would see us really strong on the attack, quick feet and movement with Fam there for the dirty work. So long as we stay compact and remained focused don’t see why this couldn’t work. It does however show we need a DM. If we get one then I’d drop Palmer and have andi and Eliasson alongside Fam with the DM behind Sammie and Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
