Is that Soh at right back or 352 with Lolley as wing back? A few people have suggested Lolley there, would be a decent experiment but not sure his fitness is up to it. Christie IMO is far better suited as wing back than a standard RB.
As for Soh, think he is one for the future really and he is CH.
Agree with the rest but prefer Cafu to Arter at the moment.
we all sort of know what the starting 11 will probably be, or have done virtually every game
wouldn't it be great if the manager had a few systems and variants that could be triggered even for short spells along with tempo and intensity
defensively when under pressure it sometimes looks like a line of 10 along the back, often all 11 players being behind the D, it tends to work but there is a lack of dimensions and no outlet at all, but ultimately as no outlet and at best giving away a throw in or clearing to 1 of their players so it all starts again
it's no wonder we will concede whenever an opponent can find the sweet spot, the extreme crowding in the area leaves opponents with enough space to generate powerful chances hence the 2 goals we conceded against Norwich
i'm not blaming anyone but it could be a bit more organised and even occassionally we gamble and have a couple of outlets, Norwich and others look more classy around our area, the attacks often last longer and eventually result in clean strikes through a crowded area
you can argue with Norwich being top you can't pay them too much respect but more incoherent teams we shouldn't pay them so much respect and fall back constantly to such a desperate chaotic 'strategy' where the best outcome is we clear and concede a throw in or hope they shoot, don't get a deflection and miss and we get a goal kick
i'm not blaming everyone because it shows they all want to put there lives on the line to keep the ball out and is a result of heart and passion .. just needs some refinement even occassionally
the present defensive set up tends to suit Figs and Worrall because they are prepared to throw everything in to smother, an alternative is to get us keeping the ball longer and failing that having better outlets, even gambling at times to hurt teams more when we win back possession
