Team vs Brighton

[rez9000]

That would be a very clunky team. I would rather have 2 Ball players in cm if we are playing a back 3

You're not wrong - it is clunky, but it's borne out of necessity. Two ball-playing CMs removes a the defensive screen in front of the back three, so you need good wingbacks who can get back in place when the ball turns over, so we've got protection for every channel, which we don't have. And so we need a DM4 pinned to the base of the midfield to provide support if the fullbacks are caught high up the pitch and the defence needs to spread out. If we had really shit-hot WBs then we could dispense with a DM4 and have an MF6 + MF8 pairing.

Lloris
Sissoko, Vertonghen, Toby, Rose
Dier, Ndombele
Son, Lamela, Lucas
Kane

Dont know how Lucas doesnt get a game, deserves a chance rarely lets us down.

Lucas has a tendency to disappear for long periods when getting a start. He has greater impact from the bench..

No Rose in squad?

[spurs mental]

The 4-3-3 to 3-4-3 needs to return, where Dier drops in when the full backs go forward

We should be able to beat these regardless of form. They're not very good.

Nailed it.
