[Albion] Man City next weekend - how should we set up?

[Icy Gull]

I think that if we play in the entertaining style of the last few games we will concede at least 5.

We managed to do that against them under CH at the end of last season too though.

So how do you see us setting up for this one?

Tough call imo and going to be fascinating to see how Potter decides to play. The team will not have forgotten how to defend with everyone behind the ball and personally I think it’s the best way to play but try to break at pace when the opportunity comes. Probably get hit on the counter attack when it breaks down though.

No place for Murray imo although his defensive attributes are well known. Maupay as a lone striker who will need plenty of support when he does get the ball? Not sure this is the game for AJ or Locadia personally.

Look forward to the comments from the tactical NSC genius’ and there are a few of you

Forfeit and take a 3-0 defeat.....[emoji2]

Unlikely to win, but, 4-5-1 for me, but with Trossard and March under orders to push past Walker and their LB.

The 3 central midfielders stay very tight, Mooy or Gross to come in.

7-2.

CH tactics to try and keep it in single figures.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Id expect to see Bernardo in at LWB and March switched to the Right inside forward to support Montoya.

Reckon we will see Webster for more pace at the back probably in for Duffy further supporting the right hand side.

Maupay as loan striker as it’s pointless have Murray up on his own as we need some pace for an outlet

To be fair I work in financial crime and drive a cab so what do I know?

I’d start Murray upfront as having someone to hold up the ball will ease the pressure on the rest of the team.

Park 4 buses and avoid a caning

We need more, we'll, anything, down the right. An extra midfielder ( Mooy)

I'm intrigued, are you a perpetrator or detector of financial crime?

You really think we'll score two?

I was more interested in his comment that Maupay is a loan striker. I thought we'd singed him for a handsom fee.

Knowing our luck they'll drop points today and we'll be the revenge sex.

It won't be pretty.

I would play Murray as he gives us the best chance of scoring, albeit from a set piece.

I doubt that GP seeks to play other than an expansive attacking style. The players will also be unfamiliar with a defensive style. More of the same then but harsher punishment.

Expect 6 1.

We've been at the races and arguably ahead of the game In all 3 games so far, so I'd not expect wholesale change.

Perhaps bolstering the midfield with Mooy and use Gross/Murray or Gross Maupay Trossard

I'd like to see AJ on the right, or at least on the bench assuming he is firing on all cylinders behind the scenes.
