[Albion] Team for Burnley

[ifightbears]

Assuming no new injuries I would love to see;

Sanchez

Lamptey
Veltman
Webster
March

White
Bissouma

Lallana
Trossard

Welbeck
Maupay

Subs;
Ryan
Burn
Propper/ Gross
Alzate
MacAllister
Zequiri
Connolly

5 at the back without ball with White slotting back. This way can continue with attacking fullbacks but actually have strikers on the pitch with enough creativity behind. No Alzate but then I agree with Potter that the midfield 4 are better players (just), great competition.

This, but with Alzate for White

Fullbacks are too attacking to not have White back in the defence when without ball

That’s a big call, White is our only player that can consistently do the ‘defensive’ part of being a defensive midfielder.

Can't we start Monday with something a little easier?

2 strikers - you're having a Giraffe! We don't need strikers - we just use the force.

I’m reasonably sure we will start with 11 players on the field. Beyond that anything is possible.

Do you think March is strong enough to play in flat back 4? I don't.

 

[portslade seagull]

Who knows, we will have to wait and see

Misplaced confidence if you ask me.

Discussions not your thing then?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Do you think March is strong enough to play in flat back 4? I don't.

Certainly not when he is injured.

 

[A1X]

Maybe, maybe not but I think Bernardo isn't good enough and Burn was poor yesterday

 

[ifightbears]

Agreed, thus I think you have to have White as DM to come back into a 5 when without the ball

I disagree, I don't think White provides what we need in terms of passing for a DM with our style. Maybe against teams where we won't have so much of the ball it makes sense, I wouldn't expect that to be the case with Burnley though, and as such I don't believe it's as much of a problem.
