Tomkins should be able to play well at right CB

IMO cannot start Wilf and Andros if we are playing 3 at the back. Henderson exposed us today and last year we got caught out to many times by balls knocked into space behind where full backs should be. Neither Wilf or Andros are good enough yet to do the defensive and attacking role. I would start Wilf or Andros but not both. Pack out the midfield with two defensive midfielders sitting in front of the three if that's the way Frank wishes to go. We will get hurt time and time again if we don't plug the holes and stop the diagonal balls down the flank.

The spine is the issue for me, Chelsea have Matic and Kante, Milivojevic can do a job there but it's not a system that will get the best out of Cabaye or Puncheon IMO. Last year we saw the best of Cabaye under Allardyce as the right-sided central midfielder. The RCB and LCB need to be comfortable when they're dragged out wide and the CB needs to cover well and generally not get sucked in too high trying to win the ball. It seems FdB wants a system that he think's will get the best out of Zaha but for me at the moment we don't have at least 4 other players needed to play a 3-4-3 effectively. Need a LCB, RCB, CDM, RWB imo.

The cheap youngsters are probably all now worth a lot more from that exposure. All teams blood players in friendlies and it's good to see that we are to. Almost certain no one has said this squad / team will be our starting team come August. Crazy that some of our fans didn't like seeing our youth having a run out against proper opposition.

I hope we mix between 343 and 433. Could have a great team.

If this is the formation we go for then this team could cause damage subject to transfers going through. Tomkins Dann Martins-Indi Van der Wiel Milivojevic Cabaye Van Aanholt Townsend Benteke Zaha However my preference would be the standard 4231 Van der Wiel Dann Martins-Indi Van Aanholt Milivojevic Cabaye Zaha Loftus-Cheek Townsend Benteke Edited by xGeorgex (19 Jul 2017 11.23pm)

Yep. My thoughts entirely. Just don't see that system working without more significant changes to the squad than those mooted.
If only it were White, rather than Yellow! |

I think 3-5-2 would work better than the 3-4-3
Thoughts?

Hate to say it but I think this is a big mistake. I really want FDB to prove me wrong and be successful but I just can't see how 3-4-3 would work with our current squad. Feels very Martinez at Wigan.
