Why bother with the back 3? That didn't have any impact on the second half improvementIf we set up any differently to the second half today Nuno deserves sacking!
It gives Nuno his defensive comfort blanket! We played better in the second half today than we have for months so let's build on it. Don't mind changing odd individual but keep the formation.Why bother with the back 3? That didn't have any impact on the second half improvement
They are and so do i. But they are certainly beatable if you play them the right way, as we already proved.Leeds will be very tough to beat, really like how they play football
This team for me, but would be happy with Saiss at LCB too.I'd still rather play 4 at the back but after today some continuity of ideas is required IMO.
So for that reason we should go 3-4-2-1:
Rui
Donk - Coady - Marcal
Semedo - Vitinha - Neves - Jonny
Neto - Traore
Jose
But of course it'll be the same XI barring any injuries. Let's just hope the set-up is the second half version from today and we don't revert back to 3-4-3.

I'm giving up on 4 at the back for now, don't think Nuno will change much for a while.I'd still rather play 4 at the back but after today some continuity of ideas is required IMO.

I can't see that. They have 4 days on the training pitch this week. Probably the most consecutive days they have had for a while, and the temps are supposed to be 11 to 13 deg c. That will help too. Hopefully they work on WJ's positioning.I'm giving up on 4 at the back for now, don't think Nuno will change much for a while.
Wouldn't mind this team but its a bit hard on Saiss, he's probably been our best CB recently. However It'll be same as today surely, we've got nearly a full week off so Nuno will stick...........might start with Silva instead of Jose?
