352?

Thats clearly the A team starting although not sure its a formation we will keep. Shows we are desperately short of full backs and wide players. Bench still looks very weak overall.

Want to see them playing as a unit and hopefully a goal or two.

Or trying Cunha at full back on whichever side.

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Cunha’s never a full back. Murillo at LB?
Would have started Moreira RB Neco LB myself if playing the usual 4231 simply so we keep the shape, round pegs etc.

442 with cunha at RB since he played there on saturday and CHO&ndoye as wide midfielders would be my guess

[Paplane]

We're gonna start the season with a CB at full back aren't we?

Not if Aina's fit by then no.

[Fumanchew]

It would be nice to see if we could pivot someone like Cunha into a DM role from RB like Man City do

[Fumanchew]

It seems like the fiorentina team didn’t come to play football then

Comments on Twitter suggest that was probably our best half of pre-season so far.

I would agree. Fiorentina had some great chances on the break but we do feel very dominant. Have haf a lot of good attacking opportunities but the final cross/shot has just been missing

[Forest1970]

I'm not sure about these tactics at all as Wood is not in the game and Jesus is playing rather deep. In my opinion CHO doesn’t look happy at all and I do wish we stop trying to do these little flicks which aren't paying off. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks we can get more quality in.
