2024/25 David Moyes

[Delargeinho]

If I were Moyes, I'd be trying this at some point (based on Garner & McNeil returning soon): -

Pickford

O'Brien - Branthwaite - Myko

-- Garner ---- Mangala
Patterson ------- Ndiaye ------- McNeil

Lindstrom - Beto -​

.

Probably would play the same players, maybe tarks for Myko but with either 3-4-3 or with Lindström and Ndiaye exchanged in 3-5-2

Baffles me when people say the league is poor. I think there is a lot of very good sides, much more so than there used to be.

I think it's probably more that there used to be a gap between the top 6 and everyone else. Now there are 15ish decent sides and the bottom ones are absolutely diabolical. And guess which exclusive club we have allowed ourselves to join . . .

Coz big six is crumbling…

Coz big six is crumbling…

Crumbling a little bit. But because Newcastle, Villa and Forest have their best sides in a generation, and the likes of Fulham, Bournemouth, Brighton have their best sides maybe ever.

This. I agree. If anything, the quality of all teams has risen and now we’re seeing parity of results.

Own up lids!

They also have ambitious owners and good coaches currently.
We have neither at present .

wonder if he's waiting for transfer deadline day to sign Danny Ings / Brereton Diaz

Che Adams included in a triple signing bonanza.

[Ed_Winchester]

Tried to imagine Doucoure in their attacking plays…

Watch him do a needless 360 degree turn trying to control the ball before lumbering forwards and killing the chance of a quick breakaway

There is a lot of money in the league. If you plan well and spend well you can build a competitive team. We have even seen promoted teams coming up and spending. Our mismanagement has come at a terrible time and we have been jumped over by teams that were playing in a division or 2 lower not so long ago.

If he starts Doucoure tomorrow me and him are gonna be having words.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

For me, (with current players);

3-4-2-1
Branthwaite, Tarkowski, O'Brien
McNeil (LWB), Garner, Mangala/Gana, Patterson (RWB)
Ndiaye and Lindstrom behind the striker
Beto.

When Iroegbunam is fit, could try 4-3-3 with him at the tip of a midfield triangle.

But, yes, we do need players.

Not too far off what I would have. Unfortunately managers often don't play to their personnel and play teams more to their comfort. I really felt Dyche missed a trick not trying a legitimate back 3 with Obrien and Branners and that solid duo of Mangala/Gueye/Garner/Tim in front. Not only would we have been more secure, we would have had better coverage for our two wide players to get forward.
