Yes indeed, Championship-level if we carry on the way we are. We've lost one preseason game which was our first first team game against Liverpool. The team played well and yet your banging on about us getting relegated. Ball hasn't even been kicked. Last week you was gonna wait until after the first game before sounding the alarm. Clearly you've started earlier than expected. Possibly the most pessimistic person I've ever bumped in to on the net. Really... we played that bad yesterday you think we'll be relegated?

I'm still not a fan of it at all however I'm not sure how much we will actually play i next season. De Boer likes both 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 and has said that he has played 3-4-3 so much in pre season because the team do not know it well. I really hope he decides to go for a 4-3-3 often because from what I have seen, 3-4-3 just doesn't work for us.

Then a new right wingback and right centre back are musts. Personally think we could do with another box to box mid. How do you justify it doesn't work. The pre season games I've seen barring Liverpool. Our goalie been well protected, my only criticism is we should move the ball quicker. The support for Benteke needs to be better. We lost a lot of home games last season in fact 11, de Boer was always gonna pritovise possesion football. We need to get behind this system because I don't think he's gonna change back.

Hmm I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the fact they have better players than we do

They both weren't ideal wingback but they grew in the position. Let's not write off the season because it's not a favourable formation to many fans. Yes, we could do with 3 first teamers but that will come.

As much as I like Wardy, he's no where near the players that Chamberlain and Moses are...

That is true but the players in their squad are a lot better than the ones in ours which is why they can play the formation better than we can.

We beat them both at the end of last season. I'm not sure why FDB is trying to change a system that is working so well for us.

Without anyone leaving: Wayne Fosu-Mensah --- Dann --- Riedewald Andros ----- Luka --- Loftus-Cheek ----- Schlupp Cabaye Benteke --- Zaha Subs: Jules, Tomkins, Ward, PVA, Punch, (development space), Wickham Slight change to formation but anyway looks like a formidable side. IF we sign a dedicated RWB: Wayne Fosu-Mensah --- Dann --- Riedewald RWB ----- Luka --- Cabaye/Loftus-Cheek ----- Schlupp Andros --- Benteke --- Zaha As so little has been spent i s till think we may try for a keeper, Sakho and or a foward.
