97Red Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I can see LJ going with this, but with obviously Palmer on the left and Eliasson on the right. I'd still like to see us revert to a back 3 though if possible, Boro cut through us a number of times with the back 4 before the international break. Albeit I think we could all see they are a good side, that have had a bit of a slow start, they've got a lot of players that can hurt you. However, we just look that extra bit solid with a back 3, but this obviously does depend on whether LJ thinks Williams is ready for a starting spot. Bentley Moore Williams Baker Hunt Massengo Brownhill Rowe Palmer Weimann Diedhiou Playing 3 at the back also allows us to get Palmer in his best position IMO.

Bentley Hunt, Moore, Baker, Rowe Massengo, Brownhill, Eliasson, Palmer Fammy, Wiemann With a fit Nagy and an eligible Afobe I'd be really confident. I agree with your line up, but it'll be a close game I think. Can Massengo do it on a mild Saturday in Stoke...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prinny Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 It's hard to pick the team right now. 4-4-2 means having Palmer out wide unless you drop him for O'Dowda Bentley Hunt Moore Baker Rowe Eliasson Brownhill Massengo Palmer Weimann Diedihou 3-5-2 means no Eliasson Bentley Moore Williams Baker Hunt Brownhill Massengo Rowe Palmer Weimann Diedhiou Perhaps to get our best players all on the field in their proper positions right now it's 4-4-1-1?

No I think there is a lot to learn defensively and with everyone fit would be backup to Nagy and Brownhill. But he is the player with the most potential in the squad, that is undeniable.

IMO he is definitely ready for being involved in the first team. But not to start every game. Pretty sure he wouldn’t of started as many games if the injuries didn’t occur. But for such an inexperienced player he has more than stepped up and our results back that up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly! I think we just need to be mindful of the fact that he played 3.5 league games in a short space of time since arriving, in a very physical league. There have been more than enough positive things from him whether he’s 18 or 28, or 3 games into his time here or 103. He’s more than held his own, but I did think Boro stamped on him and he was also a little fatigued as the game went on. International break at the right time....and hopefully not extended too much by France u19s in that period. Think Nagy will be another week away, and I wouldn’t rush him either. I get that Eliasson was good v Boro, but I think the 5212 with Ashley Williams coming in to help guide Taylor Moore through would be what I’d do. Get that central core nice and compact again....3 CBs shielded by 2 CMs. Moore_______Williams_______Baker _____Brownhill_____Massengo_____ And means we can keep Palmer central.

jayjay Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Semenyo and 10 others. Keep Fammy on the bench, champing at the bit, to bring on later if it doesn't work or the youngster tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like we watched two very different games. It was clear that he was the most talented on the pitch and had the most potential, but breaking it down he actually offered very little. Nagy, Brownhill and Palmer for me with Massengo to come on late for his superb ball retention skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagy, Brownhill and Palmer for me with Massengo to come on late for his superb ball retention skills. I thought he was much quieter v Boro too. Wasn’t bad, but nowhere near as good as Derby or Hull (Derby especially). But I think it was a funny game too, where neither midfield controlled the game....the game seemed to be played in each team’s final third, whereas most games seem to be played out in the middle third. Teams will do their homework on both Massengo and Nagy, but (early days I know) I think both have football intelligence to know how to get around this. On the Hull game, Massengo was pressed from minute one and rushed a bit. By the second half he just sucked players in and played first time or let his teammates bypass him. There was one bit in second half where someone played a firm pass. You could see 3 players ready to pounce, even on a good touch....instead, Massengo just dummied the ball, leaving them looking a bit stupid. We do have to allow players off-games or at least less effective games. The “he’s a 7/10 every week” is unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was noticeably poorer when he went off injured and we lost the midfield battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
