[Albion] Your team to pick up points **NOT Predict Potters picks

[Don Tmatter]

With 2 winnable games ahead, what would your team be to pick up much needed points?

For me I’d try this:

———————————Sanchez——————————-
Veltman————White—————-Dunk———-——Burn
———————————Bissouma——————————
————-Groß———————————Mac Allister———
———————————Lallana———————————-
———————-Welbeck————Maupay———————

Subs.
Walton
Karbowicz
Moder
Pröpper
Izquierdo
Trossard
Tau
Zeqiri
Andone

 

[DH12]

Bob Sanch

Veltman
Dunk
White
Burn

Bissouma
Gross
Mac Allister

Lallana

Welbeck
Maupay

Subs from:
Walton
Karbownik
Alzate
Propper (needs more minutes to help us control the phases of games when we might start to shit ourselves)
Tau
Izquirdo (needs 20 mins-ideal on the counter when the oppo are pressing)
Trossard (not sold on him)
Zeqiri (needs 20 mins)
Moder
Caicedo
Jahanbaksh
ANDONE (Get him back in ASAP)


I can't wait to have Webster back. Unbelievable how much we've missed his presence and ability to drive with the ball.

Same as against Leicester. Really liked the Maupay - Lallana striker duo experiment and want more of that. Wouldnt mind dropping Trossard for some other creative winger-esque left flank player but as there are none I will just have to pray Trossard got one of his good days.

I’ll go along with this. Crooks certainly knows his stuff.

Difficult because unlike last 3 games can only name Sanchez White Dunk and Veltman as bang on certs. Good to have chance of own opinion rather then a Potter guess. We are in the poo and no time to experiment. A small selection of players needed to get us out of it. Unfortunately Burn will have to play and will have to be back 4 because cant play him as wingback. Karpow has to be on bench in case we are leading and under pressure so White can be pushed into midfield. Shame to leave McCalister out but him and Lalana fill same position. If we get to win or bust have to be forward replacing Gross or Propper

-----------------Sanchez
-----Veltman White Dunk Burn
Gross Moder Bissouma Trossard
------------Lallana Maupay

Similar team. Except .....

Moder in the team. We're conceding too often from set pieces and a bit more height may help (but probably won't)

I'm giving Lallana the crook after 55 mins in every game. Zeqiri if we need a goal Ali Mac if we're defending a lead

Trossard is getting the crook after 45 mins if he's not on it. Karbo next in line

That front two is definitely worth another go. I'm not persisting with Wellbeck, or Alzate or Ali J at the moment.

4-4-2 is the way to go without Lamptey or March

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

It's all a bit like re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic tho eh?

 

[MJsGhost]

Tweaks rather than wholesale changes for me - keep the faith and the results will come. Whatever people's personal opinion on xG and the like, when the difference between statistical performance and actual results is so MASSIVE, there has to be some form of reversion to the mean soon, SURELY?!

There were some really promising signs of understanding and interplay between Lallana and Maupay against Leicester, so I'd give that a chance to develop further. Tross drops to the bench for me - he had some great impact from the bench in the past and sitting out the first hour might sharpen him up (and fresh legs against tired defenders might make him more effective than of late).

I really want Karbo to be the answer to the Solly problem - this armchair manager hasn't seen him in training (obvs), but worth a go in this hypothetical situation I feel. An injection of pace and youthful exuberance can only help...

Subs would depend on game situation, but I'd favour giving Zeqiri a chance over Welbeck and I'd like to see Moder get some minutes too (or Alzate get a shot in midfield rather than wingback)

Proper is the forgotten man, he is experienced, has done well in the past, but is a bit of a liability for the misplaced pass. On balance though is a reasonable midfield option in place of Gross.

Rice and Lingard haven't even played yet.

Does seem weird that Propper hasn't had more of a chance, I thought he would be the perfect "Potter player" when GP came in. Gross hasn't done too much wrong in recent games though, he hasn't set the world alight but no-one else has either to be fair.

If he can stay fit for more than two weeks at a time I think he has a good chance of playing quite a bit until the end of the season.

That doesn’t normally bother him.
