Today’s Football 2022/23 Season

[Nymzee]

Some of these could be around the 2026 team so it's be encouraging

Think they've all been good. Except the right-wing back, he's quite meh, but I don't like left footers in that position at all.

 

[Nymzee]

Donkers. What a surname that is.

If Cade Cowell can just get his brain to catch up to his body, he’ll be in with a shout.

4 games, 0 conceded. Seems the system suits American players.

We might be short the CBs to do it at senior level but I've long thought 3-4-3 made a ton of sense as a system we could easily use to smother teams we're better than and play more conservative and direct against teams we aren't without making massive changes to the system. I'd love to see this style there.

Well the middle CB here is a midfielder, so maybe something a McKennie could do? Heck even Tyler Adams did it for Leipzig a few times.

McKennie absolutely not lol

Adams is too small if he actually has to defend.

I mean the point is that you don't really have to defend in that position. You sweep up and start the play.

Depends on who we're playing. The whole point for me is to not have to make sweeping adjustments when we play Grenada or England. But Tyler Adams can't play CB against Harry Kane.

I mean yeh 3 centre halves is better, just an option. You have enough. Richards, Trusty, CCV, McKenzie, Robinson all decent.

Agree they're all solid. Last cycle some of those were injured/not ready and it limited us to the point of playing Zimmerman and Tim Ream (who did well tbf). My guess is we'll get more of the 4-3-3 which I don't dislike either. I just think we get in some trouble at times when we extend out in that setup against better sides.

Who's playing LB and RB though there? Antonee Robinson can't defend if it's him

 

[Alan Whittle]

Cracking player him.

Yep, hope we get him.

Robinson and Dest. It's very weak defensively hence the idea of maybe making them wing backs and having a 3rd real defender. I get that takes off someone who would be classified as one of your better players so it is hard to do.

Yeh was gonna say, I'd be swerving 4-3-3 myself then. What happened to my boy Reggie!
