Derby's Deadline Day Delirium

Yes I wondered about that too. That would mean Nyambe as a sub. 4-3-3 with Wilson when fit and NML or Harness as the wide players? That leaves the Viking a bit isolated. A 4-4-2 would surely only be an option if Adams and Ozoh are the midfield pair which means no place for Kenzo. That’s why I think with the players he has available Warne will go with the back three. It also gets most of his tall players on the pitch which he might think gives us a better chance of a set-piece goal, possibly our best hope of getting the ball into the net.

I don’t think we ever agree on much VC, but in this case I’m just saying what I think Warne might do. I would be surprised if Langas doesn’t play, given what he cost, and I would be surprised if he left out Phillips or Clarke.

A back 3 has been successful for many Italian teams, less so in England though a long time ago Arsenal dominated with Adams, Bould and Keown. I suppose it helps having a Bergkamp in your team. Tuchel has preferred it so we will see how England line up with him in charge.

I’m not advocating it necessarily for us. In the end any system is only as good as the players implementing it.

Conte won the title with Chelsea using it. But had wing backs and wingers (5-2-3)

Just how many times did CBT play at RW?

Sorry RWB

58 minutes ?

Dunno Jorv, I can't speak for others.
I dont think he is a particularly good WB, left or right. 🤔

Anyway, what an exciting second half of the season with what is effectively a brand new starting lineup. I just hope that some of them understand the demands of inverted play. Here we go!

Ang, it's not as though he's played there for any length of time, in fact he's hardly played at all!

I'll tell you why, last season M-L was played at RWB and got knackered because he had to do too much.
This year the delicate CBT got put out of his position to RWB and got injured again. Why would a manager play these players in positions where they are unsuited?
