Agree with OP apart from CBs. I reckon I'd have Mawson and Marchand

Sess is no good at LB.........he gets bullied too easy

Sessegnon up front.  He had his best game in the PL, I think.  Have no faith in Seri - he was wasteful and posed no sense of threat going forward.  Vietto definitely to start.

Don't understand why people want Ayite over Vietto?
I rate Vietto so highly honestly think he's a great asset. Ayite on the other hand is a championship player.
Anyone with this opinion want to give me there reasoninig
I do acknowledge Ayite may help the fullback out more, from a defensive point of view but I think going forward there is no contest as to the better player.

Agree,with 4 assists already surprised me he wasn't in the starting line up at Cardiff.
Been one of the better players so far.

Whatever the defence is they will have their work cut out with the whippet Fraser,and Wilson and King up front.

I don't see Vietto as inherently more talented. In terms of pace, skill and work rate they're roughly equal IMO. Both bottom-half Premier League players. The difference is Ayite will put the ball in the back of the net given half a chance - in the Villa game last year he did it from the half way line. Vietto on the other hand I wouldnt back to hit a cow's arse with a banjo.

Agree completely but unfortunately your final statement is the key one. We are currently so poor defensively we need the extra cover at the back. Horses for courses..

After 6 hours deliberating (or drinking) I cannot come up with a winning team selection, my best suggestion is to pick a team that will not concede 3 or more goals, that way we might achieve a draw!

Changes are needed

                          Rico
Fosu-Mensah Mawson Le Marchand Bryan
                       Anguissa
                     Cairney Seri
   Sessegnon                           Schurrle
                         Mitrovic

Subs - Bettinelli , Ream , Odoi , McDonald , Johansen , Vietto , Kamara

I love Ream but he is really struggling since his injury. Odoi has been part of a defence that ships goals every game.

Rico certainly deserves a chance. I haven't been impressed with Mawson but surely with regular starts he will improve. I like Le Marchand at cb we should try build that partnership.

We have really missed Fosu-Mensah, Bryan & Cairney for me & if we are to have a chance of getting a result Saturday we need all of them 3 fit & available

Interesting that Mawson's last game was a shambles against Watford but he starts in almost all our formations.

I suppose the only way is up now.. so no harm in bringing in players and trying to get them in form.

Rico
Odoi - Ream - Marchand
Surele - Anguissa - Seri - Cairney - Sess
AK47 - Mitro

Rico can't do any worse and has to get a chance at this point. Odoi and Ream have been our best performers. Marchand has made some mistakes early on but looks more composed than Chambers and Mawson. Cairney next to Sess should be a good connection given their blind understanding. Anguissa protecting for Surele who is always a threat to score. Two strikers for quicker transition. Kamara running on Mitro's rebounds. Can't stay married to our style from last year when it doesn't work anymore.

Post by: Matt10 on October 22, 2018, 12:41:43 PM
I am not sure where we're at with the injuries, so I'll assume Fosu-Mensah and Bryan are still out. Going to try something a bit different and utilize a 4-4-1-1. Think Schurrle has that capability to pick up spots in the middle, and can connect with Mitro in more advanced positions. We know he can shoot wherever he would like to as well. He's got enough stamina to drop back into a 4-5-1 defensively as well. Only question is the CM positions where I am not sure about Seri, but he needs to be paired up with a box-to-box player. I keep going back and forth between Johansen and Anguissa. I know many don't like Johansen, but he does create chances, and does get back in the box defensively. On the other hand, Anguissa is strong, but I just don't trust him on the ball. In every match he has played, he has lost the ball that created a direct chance for the opposition. However, we need size in a very small midfield, so I'm giving him the nod. Also going to switch him up with Seri so when Seri comes back defensively he can use the inside of his right foot to make tackles and not the outside of his foot or weaker left. I think Betts can keep his spot for another match, but needs to sharpen up quite a bit. Ream has been playing a bit more scared, and some of the things he pulled off last year, aren't happening this year.

                            Betts

Mawson was clearly signed as first choice CB. He has proved he can play at this level and needs games . Got to have a run even if he is struggling . Joka has tried every other player in defence and all been equally as bad . I would go with Mawson and Ream in the middle. Bryan was signed as a left back , got to him a chance if fit . No more square pegs in round holes. Schurlle has scored some great goals but is he providing any cover going the other way ? the central midfield 3 seem to be having to cover an awful lot of ground . I thought ayite did well when he came on against watford . Betts is struggling but lets face it , he is facing upwards of 20 shots a game , he can't stop them all . He has also been man of the match in several games despite the amount we have let in  .

vietto and schurrle are probably better attackers but they need to cover the wide areas as well  . At the moment it reminds me of when Symons was trying to play Hugo up front with McCormack and Dembele in the wide areas . We scored loads but the poor full backs got hammered , same is happening here .

No idea what players should be in the team if honest but its the tactics I want to change, 442 and the RB and LB are just that not wing backs. It may not be as attacking but at least it would give stability at the back. Also the whole team need to defend as a whole.

Post by: Camel Club on October 22, 2018, 01:02:20 PM
Great to see so many suggested formations that are not 4-3-3. I just hope SJ is thinking along the same lines. Surely he must realise that creating a more solid, cohesive unit using the players at his disposal doesn't have to compromise his attacking instincts/beliefs? It might just mean that against the teams around us we might just win a few games 3-1 (or even 2-0!) rather than be involved in 6 goal thrillers every week which could go either way.

You may have hit on an exclusive unique way of picking a team.
Perhaps you could advise Jok to select his team by deliberating during and after 6 hours of drinking.

I have looked up the FA Rules of the game, and it appears you cannot play three keepers at the same time in goal, plus the referee might also notice if he happens to be looking in that direction.
So I cannot see that working.
Also boarding up the goal or attempting to board up the goal is apparently illegal, therefore that alone could cause Fulham FC be charged for bringing the game into disrepute.
What I did learn when I was reading the Rules of the game.
Apparently nobody is allowed to bring a Flamethrower on the pitch whilst a match is in force.
I never knew that, you learn something new every day.

GK: Rico

RWB: Odoi
CB: Ream
CB: Mawson
LWB: Le Marchand (Bryan if fit)

CDM: McDonald
CM: Seri
CM: Cairney (Johansen if Cairney unavailable)

RW: Schurrle
CF: Mitrovic
LW: Sessengon

Bettinelli has to go, he could have at least saved a couple of those opportunities that were missed, there was always questions over his shot-stopping abilities vs Button but people overlooked this because his distribution was far superior. Let's give Rico an opportunity he was 1st choice in one of the best teams in Spain for a reason.

My reason for this back 4 in particular is that it's very defensive Le Marchand and Odoi do not offer much going forward and we need to solidify the defence. Quite often with Christie in the RWB position he'd be caught out way past the half way line. If Joe Bryan is fit I'd slot him in for MLM and drop Mawson and move MLM across.

In terms of the midfield trio, I feel that Anguissa despite his physical attributes just does not fit our passing game. McDonald I feel offers a bit more in terms a 'cool head' Anguissa is rash and makes questionable decisions with time and confidence this will improve however as this is such a pivotal game I don't feel we should drop K Mac. Seri is also very important we looked terrible after he was taken off. Cairney.. if rumours are to be believed then he is apparently going to be fit, it's no surprise to me to see that since he has been injured our performances have been diabolical - this man makes us tick even a 50% fit Cairney would improve the side.

I think Sess deserves the nod over Vietto for his goal and performance vs Cardiff, he's also better at tracking back than Vietto however Schurrle needs to chip in but we cannot drop him as he is one of our biggest goal threats going forward.

If you offered me a point now, I'd take it. If you offered me a clean sheet I'd rip your hand off.

COYW's.

I do acknowledge Ayite may help the fullback out more, from a defensive point of view but I think going forward there is no contest as to the better player.

On board with you. I've not been to away games but at home I think he's been our most consistent player, 4 assists (most in the league?) Should be one of the first names on the sheet. A rare shinning light.

Alfie I read the article in the Times and I agree that home fans can make a positive difference.
It is also true sometimes the reverse is true and the tipping point can often be quite sudden.
Standing in the stand at Cardiff I was shocked with the mass exodus of our fans when the fourth goal went in
and wonder what that has done for the players confidence.  We beat Burnley 4-2 at the cottage earlier and I
didn't notice any exodus only more support.

my team against Bournemouth

Rico

Fosu-Mensa          Ream        Mawson       Bryan

Cairney        Anguissa       Seri
   
Schurrle       Mitro        Sessegnon

Subs: Betts, MLM, KMac, Odoi, Christie, AK47, Vietto

the back 4 is all dependant on who is fit.
Rico needs to be given his chance, Betts I'm sure will eventually regain his first place however, stating the bleedin' obvious, we need to stop shipping goals and whilst I don't think Betts was responsible for any(?) we need to try something/someone different.
Title: Re: Lineup for Bournemouth
Post by: richnj on October 23, 2018, 12:24:16 PM
Yes, the defense is a bit of a shambles.. but look at the stats last game; 22 shots from Cardiff, only 9 from us..  5 on target for Cardiff, 4 on target for us.

40% possession from Cardiff. 22 shots.  The problem is the defensive mid, just as much or more so than the defense.  There is no excuse for allowing 22 shots off, and the only way you get 22 shots is because you can't keep them away from your final 3rd.

As for lineups - look at our best performers first.  Odoi and MLM were the best in defense.  Ream had a slip that led to one goal on a counter - don't fault him for that as he got back and blocked a shot, and then 6 other Whites in the box did stop an easy goal. Alfi was better than Chambers in his half he played.

KMac is just not playing up to snuff. Seri doesn't seem to be engaged, mainly because he doesn't have a partner to work with.  Johansen.. sorry, he just seems to run after the play.

Vietto only played 8 minutes before average activity was one of the best on the pitch. 

Schurlle, Sess, Mitro - they need to stay where they are.

I'd be torn on throwing Rico in there out of nowhere.  And after the Fabri leak about him thinking he made a mistake - it'd seem like he was being rewarded or catered to.

So,
Alfi, Odoi, Ream, MLM
Cairney - Zambo (or Aiyte)
Shurlle- Seri - Sess
Mitro

But that Cairney-Zambo/Aiyte pair needs to sit defensively and distribute.. not chase the ball, and run around all over the place like our midfield has been doing, which leads to our defense being on their back heel.

In the fight for promotion towards the end of last season, we were beaten by managers who put faith in a few youngsters in the 2nd half.

So here is my choices again and with reserves this time;

                   Rico
Steven    Mawson    Odoi    Bryan
       Anguissa    Johanson
   Schurrle    Cairney    Ryan
                 Mitro

Subs
Luca Ashby-Hammond (brother Taye also a keeper, maybe sibling rivalry like the Sess can produce another consistent performer)
Ream
Mortiz Jenz (called the Denis Odoi of our under-23)
MLM
McDonald
Matt O'Riley (highly creative)
Harvey Elliot (to wake Mitro in case he gets bored on the field)

A good team selection should be made on the basis of good recent individual and team performances. I am afraid that there just havn't been any of these so we have to select players on there reputations and we have seen that is not working.

I am going to leave it to Jocanovic all though I am aware that doesn't work either.

I'll be amazed if Cairney starts. And that formation invites Bournemouth just to waltz straight through us.

Up to a point.. we played it against Arsenal first half and they didn't know whether to attack or defend...

Like the concept of a 5-3-2, but no big frames in the middle of the field would be a risk. Could it be a 4-1-3-2, or 4-1-4-1 in defense? Moving Mawson forward in defense.

                    Rico

        Odoi   Mawson   MLM 
TFM                                 Sess

                Anguissa
        Cairney Seri Schürrle

                   Mitro

On paper if someone would have given us this team as a starting 11 for the season ahead at the beginning of the Summer transfer window, most of us would have bitten their hand off. There is absolutely bags of quality in that team...

We WILL come good and prove to be a rounded and quality side... it's just a case of who will be in charge when it happens. I back it to be Slav (for the next 2 games at least) and I think this extremely talented, yet very frustrating, groups of players will turn it around on Saturday. COYW!

I am not sure where we're at with the injuries, so I'll assume Fosu-Mensah and Bryan are still out. Going to try something a bit different and utilize a 4-4-1-1. Think Schurrle has that capability to pick up spots in the middle, and can connect with Mitro in more advanced positions. We know he can shoot wherever he would like to as well. He's got enough stamina to drop back into a 4-5-1 defensively as well. Only question is the CM positions where I am not sure about Seri, but he needs to be paired up with a box-to-box player. I keep going back and forth between Johansen and Anguissa. I know many don't like Johansen, but he does create chances, and does get back in the box defensively. On the other hand, Anguissa is strong, but I just don't trust him on the ball. In every match he has played, he has lost the ball that created a direct chance for the opposition. However, we need size in a very small midfield, so I'm giving him the nod. Also going to switch him up with Seri so when Seri comes back defensively he can use the inside of his right foot to make tackles and not the outside of his foot or weaker left. I think Betts can keep his spot for another match, but needs to sharpen up quite a bit. Ream has been playing a bit more scared, and some of the things he pulled off last year, aren't happening this year.

                            Betts
      Christie    Mawson   Ream   LeMarchand
           
         Vietto    Seri   Anguissa   Sess
                           
                              Schurrle
                    Mitro

Subs: Kamara, Johansen, McDonald, Cairney, Fabri, Chambers, Odoi

I'd go with this but have Odoi at RB.

Yes the attacking roles of Sess. and Mensah will go to their heads and they will leave acres of space for Bournmouth to exploit on the flanks, just as we did in the Arsenal game.

There you are!  Finally someone seeking a (rare) Kamara appearance.  I'm all for it.  Not sure why he hasn't seen more of the pitch.  I think he could ignite the squad.

AK has real hunger and desire,also another brute of of a presence which might be a good move giving the cherries more to worry about.
