[Albion] Counteracting a brilliant front three

[Stat Brother]

Our defence is impenetrable to regular play. It will take an excellent shot from distance to score against us, like Arsenal managed.

Hmmmm backing off then allowing the player to cut inside to his favourite position in the whole wide world doesn't really say 'impenetrable' to me.

He oozes class

Will he be a Spurs player next season?

Man U have scored 11 in their last 10 league away games .... The same as us.

Our annual 3pts from Manure at home, looking forward to it.

Not my problem

And GP has been proved correct.
Webster has been superb since the restart.

Agree. Had some shaky moments at first, but to be fair was stepping up from Championship level.

Starting to show his class now, and was superb against Arsenal. One world class tackle in particular.

Utd have been on a good run pre and post lock down but all good runs come to an end. I'd sooner play them under those circumstances than if they were under a bad run as the focus increases on them. If they do lose to us there will not be a huge story around it, which is just fine.

I'd slightly differ on this. I think the class has always been there, and he clearly has a number of key attributes to make him a top PL defender. At the same time, there have been a number of mistakes, often one a game. Cut those out, and then you do have a top PL defender.

He made 2 against Arsenal which could have cost us, but still one of his best games for us so far.

I'm optimistic that liverpool and city will have nothing to play for by the time we meet, Man Untidy can be shat on some days, there is hope against all three.

Good old ‘Proper Job’ veg.

Alzate will come back into the team and play a role none of us have thought of at a guess

Its great knowing we are tactically so flexible we will switch to a new formation as required - and if it don't work as planned will change it after first drinks break

Not sure for Liverpool and Man City but against united, sit deep and compact, flood the midfield. Or, in other words, the exact opposite of how we played at Old Trafford.

I think we can get something form at least one of those games. United are on a really good run but they're not world beaters yet. Liverpool and City will have nothing to really play for so their levels should hopefully be 5% lower than usual.

As the season draws to a weary end, our Premier League fate is still to be decided.

To survive, I believe we’ll need at least three more points, there is a chance we’ll need more if three of the sides below us find some good form.

I see any points we get against Man Utd, Liverpool or Man City as bonus points, our main haul needs to seemingly come from fixtures against Norwich, Southampton, Newcastle & Burnley.

If we are to get anything from the three games against the traditional ‘top six’. We’re probably going to have to stop the following deadly trios.

Rashford-Martial-James

Mane-Firmino-Salah

Sterling-Jesus-Mahrez


How will we do it?

I will be surprised if Liverpool or Man City will play those front threes.

But whoever they play it’s going to be tough !

Hopefully Lamptey will mug a few of them off !!

Is he taller than Maty Ryan ?

Liverpool and Manure didn't exactly thump us in the games earlier this season, they were away. OK Man city put 4 past us. If we lose all 3 but only ship -6 GD again, we're still well up on those around us. Comparitively

Our biggest problem vs Liverpool was Van Dyke and Trents corners. Hopefully sort that this time around.
