I don’t think it’s a back three. The main reason is that it would be totally unsustainable. We only have three centre backs, two of who like an injury.
I think it’s 4231, with Grab and Mac sitting in the two, Gakpo to the left of the three and Isak upfront.
Might be Szob through the middle with Wirtz off the right. Or vice versa.
6 in a line when we have the ball, 6 in a line when we don’t. Of those not on line one stands in the penalty area (hopefully Allison), the others either stand still near the half way line or run round in circles in masses of space.
What? 7 in line?
Just ahead of the Volante, but not quite in the Trequartista position.
Yeah, like bulldog.
At least Arne has changed the team abit.
Let’s what happens today.
Very sad to hear about the Hammers legend Billy Bonds. RIP.
This is a good lineup and a good options on the bench.
1-2 for the reds
So who will be the regista and mezzala?
Well then…
We got pretty much what we’ve been asking for.
May we continue to live in interesting times.
Today is the day Chiesa comes on when we’re in a winning position 
Bloody hope Isak finally does something, put a performance in. I know we’ll have to raise him through different minutes, not only training.
Because in this period, I’d be tempted to go double false #9’s at times (not necessarily today), when Ekitike can’t start/play.
Can we play one of those false #9s in the half space? Is that possible? Or will it get too crowded with it being you know only half a space?
TBH, that’s what I thought he was aiming for with the summer signings. I’m just wondering if he is now thinking, “Sod it, go for the team I want.”
Glad to see Gomez at RB. Can help out in set piece defending and also has a long throw on him. Maybe finally we can see Kerkez allowed to play more like he did at Bournemouth.
0-0 at HT is fine. Then our subs can actually be tactical rather than throw the kitchen sink mode that has been on dispklay in almost every game for the past 2 months.
Ok
No half spaces, no volantes or quarter backs.
This IS todays formation.
4312
Wirtz is the 1.
Szoboszlai on right of the 3.
Gakpo part of the 2, bit straying left as required.
Thats it.
We win, 3-0.
Isak scores snd the world is a better place
