Defence v Chavs

[Shadydan]

Trippier at LB means we won't have any width because he'll just tend to cut in, Vertonghen should play at LB with Son supporting him because Son is more likely to keep the width.

Could Lamela also play there? plenty of energy getting up and down the line.
Just a question mark on tackling

I think playing with wing-backs gives more options. I'd rather try someone like Dembele there before Lamela though as I'm entirely sure Lamela has the positional sense Dembele does

I remember BAE playing there at old Trafford too

Given that he was a left back, not so surprising.

Verts--Wimmer--Dier--Walker surely?

I actually remember Bentaleb doing a fine job there a couple of seasons ago, but I think it has to be either Verts or possibly Trippier.

Please keep common sense out of this thread.

Sissoko played left back for Newcastle a couple of times in training and was being considered as an option.

The Second Coming of Atouba gathers pace...

Badly wrote, I'm meant bae playing RB ie his wrong side

If Toby is fit:

Walker - Alderweireld - Wimmer - Vertonghen
​

If Toby isn't fit:

Walker - Dier - Vertonghen - Trippier​

[knowlespurs]

verts has to play left back imo

 

[glospur]

Doubt Toby will fit so, imo, the most logical set up would be:

Walker - Dier - Wimmer - Vertonghen
