Has to be a back four. But Bruno will probably play a back 5 though! My team would be: Sa, Jonny, Gomez, Mosquera, RAN, Neves, Moutinho, Cundle, Trincao, Raul, Neto. Hard luck on Chiquo but he comes on for a tiring Neto or ineffective Trincao (not that I have a crystal ball or anything).

 

[Tony Towner]

I can tell you feel passionately about it! Cundle and Mosquera played 120 mins last night, so won't be playing

What is it with everyone thinking a back four will cure everything. I know you are all children compared to me, but does no one know why the four at the back was introduced to English football, who the manager was and what the press said at the time.
Before a back four most teams played either 3,2,3,2 or 3,2,2,3 . The 3 at the back being right back, centre half and left back. The next 2 your winghalfs (you would now call these defensive midfeilders). this would translate in our current squad to :-
Sa
Johnny Coady Ran
Mouthino Neves
Trincao Neto Podence
Raul Silva/Whang
I am not advocating playing this system just saying systems change and evolve and you cannot always go back. 3 at the back may be the ansewer but not the way we play it which is always ends up as 5 at the back, 2 defensive midfielders and at least a third of the pitch away from these the 3 three forwards.

Patronised before I've even had my lunch

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

No-one thinks it will necessarily cure everything. Just that we have to try something different as we're shit.

 

[The Bear]

It's not as if we're advocating some ancient system either. Most teams play 4 at the back.

Principally, 343 requires attacking contributions from the wing backs. Ours aren't very good at attacking contributions.

You’d drop our best player from midweek, start our two most inexperienced central defenders together in a new system & you’d throw Cundle in there for good measure?

I’ll have some of whatever you’re smoking, please.

Thats what I was trying to say and that we would still get beat playing a back 4 our players aren't that good but they have been coached into a system that did make them hard to beat now its not one thing or another.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The evidence from last season is that we created a lot more when we played a back four but we were then ridiculously vulnerable at the back. However Norwich are rubbish and haven't scored a single goal in their last four games, so Point A should outweigh Point B. Plus the game means nothing to us realistically so why not try it.

When we have briefly gone four at the back this season chasing a game it has looked a chaotic mess, but that's just Lage's football anyway.

There's no value in sticking with something that isn't working when there's nothing at stake. If we lose playing four at the back then so what. We might learn something at least.

Pfft, you and your futuristic tactics. We should revert to 1-1-8 or maybe a 2-3-5. Revert to the pyramid.

Luckily I don't give a flying fuck what you think and you're not having any of my draw...

I don't think it's a bad idea. At least it's different.

Cundle won't play considering he did 120 minutes last night.

 

[ROVERT47]

Expecting a ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ for the first time since Mick when everything becomes a shambles and we go a goal down.

[Deano]

Romano is reporting Lopetegui is leaving Sevilla at the end of the season. Not sure if he'd come but surely they'll have a look

 

[Lupollet]

Jonny shouldn’t be anywhere near the team. He checked out weeks ago.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

So who are the Wolves players that will be at Molineux for the last time today? Potentially Ruddy, Saiss, Boly, Neves, Jonny, Raul and Moutinho?

There’s a bloke on my Twitter feed who is absolutely convinced today will be the last time we see Coady in a Wolves shirt at Molineux.
