And that’s why JL has lost me. Ever since the Liverpool win at home, it has been extremely extremely extremely simple. 442 as you said above. I truly believe that if he just stayed with 442 since that Liverpool game, we would not even be in the relegation conversation any longer
This. Notice those 2 games we had Cunha playing alongside another player up top. I think 442 on both games. That’s why he’s lost me. If he would have just stuck with 442, I believe we wouldn’t even be in the relegation conversation any longer. Problem is, he keeps rolling out 4 midfielders with...
I think he'll go with this

However, I'd like to see a 442. Didn't we play a 442 when we beat them at Anfield in the FA Cup?

The biggest reason for my optimism is that to this point we have scored 12, yes 12 measly goals in 20 games. Even with that disgraceful total we are somehow sitting in 17th. We have no business being higher than 20th with that total. hahaha. So to me, it can't get worse than 12, I think we score...
I think it'll be
18th West Ham - but Leicester might be there if Maddison gets injured again
19th Bournemouth - They have improved but still not good enough
20th Everton - They are done for
I do think adding players early will also benefit us because it will take time for the other teams...
What do you think about this lineup if we need a goal to draw or we’re going for the win.
Call it a 4132

Raul. Costa
The last 6 years, 35 points has been enough to stay up. I figure we need 37-38 to make sure. That's 3.5 points every 3 games or 7 points every 6 games. I think we can do that
I think our best football under Lopetegui has been the first half against Villa and the FA Cup game where we beat Liverpool 3-2. Does anyone remember the formation for those games? Wasn't it 442 against Liverpool. I also think when Raul and Cunha have played together, they look good. Hope to see...
Is anyone else concerned with the Dyche appointment? I was really hoping Bielsa would be appointed. I had Southampton, Bournemouth and Everton going down. Now concerned about Everton surviving and who the 3rd team will be. I hope we start scoring goals and winning ASAP.
“he will do the work of 2 or 3 players in the mid”
Perfect. So instead of playing a 433 we can play a 415 since he’ll do the work of 3. Surely we’ll start scoring!
I also think Bournemouth, Everton and Southampton. Leicester is a dark horse for me that could get relegated. For some reason, their schedule looks really tough to me. I know they play the same teams as everyone else, but just looks tougher. Weird
35 points has been enough since 2016 and this year isn’t different. The 18 place team has 15 points half way through the year, Bournemouth in 17th place has 16 points. If they repeat that in the second half, we’re looking at around 30 points. Those bottom teams will probably get a few more...
I agree. Priority 1 for me is a #9. Collins, Kilman and Toti have all improved under Lopetegui, so CB is priority 2. If Gomes joins, we are set at CM, especially with Boobs coming back in a few weeks. I'm hoping
Priority #1 - Either Ings, Gykeros or Antonio
Priority #2 - Dawson or Felipe
If we...
Does anyone think we'll sell anyone this window with all these incomings? For me, Jonny, Hwang and maybe Guedes can all go. We still need a pure #9 and 1-2 CBs. Don't think we can rely on Costa and Raul at the moment and would prefer Cunha play behind the striker in a 4231. Thoughts?
