Title: Team for West Brom
Post by: twang on January 27, 2021, 10:38:27 PM
Okay so that was a horrible performance with lots of questionable decisions by Parker and yet again an obvious lack of goal threat until the last ten minutes. However, win the next game and this underwhelming and underserved point becomes a decent one. So if this was a 'must not lose' then the next one without a shadow of a doubt is a now a 'must win'.

How should we line up for this crucial match? Drop the three at the back? I would have done that today against Brighton but with Robinson back I'd stick with it as he adds another dimension to our attack in that left wing back role.
One thing is clear though: Mitro has to start.

Areola
Aina - Andersen - Tosin
Tete - Anguissa - Reed - Robinson
Decordova-Reid - Mitrovic - Lookman

I cannot understand what Kebano has done to fail to get a start. He's shown he knows where the goal is and we desperately need that quality. I'd either start him instead of BDR or even instead of Cav. It won't happen though.

Just get RLC out of the first eleven - he can't possibly start the next game

Scrap the back 5. It isn't conducive to what we need right now and that's wins.

RLC is why Scott has to go unless he can show a contract that says he has to play.

It easily morphs into our 3-4-3 or whatever, but I'd go with more attacking intent with Bobby higher up the pitch instead of a wingback. If we can't handle WBA's "talent" with four in the back, forget about it.

I would argue that the Brighton game was more of a "must win" as we won't get another chance to eat in to the margin between us (without banking on them to lose)
We shouldn't invite pressure on us from WBA (of all teams!).  We need to take it to them and play a 4-2-3-1

The problem is this formation worked so well against Leicester that Parker has played it in every game since.

You can't afford to be so rigid in your tactical thought and preparation, there has to be some adjustments made depending on the opposition.

This is why we look "better" against the better sides, because they commit numbers forward and we can create favourable situations on the counter.   Against WBA we need to be the ones taking the initiative not soaking up pressure.  We're playing an Allardyce-coached team FFS

Denver's team is spot on. Not one of us would select Cav....he is awful. Why can't Parker see it, does he not study the match stats either ?

And with Kebano on the bench who not give him a go ? Honestly he has had zero Prem time when Cav has failed game after game after game we really should be much further down the path than we are, the defence is great, but then every member of the current team is a defender at the moment.Set BDR free as well !

I am yet another in favour of bringing Mitro back, it is our only chance of scoring.

                                                                     Areola

60 min impact subs.
RLC., Lemina, Kamara.

Think we need to be really attack minded on Saturday and revert to 4 at the bank;

             Areola

Tete Anderson Tosin Robinson
     
      Anguissa Lemina

Reid         RLC       Lookman

            Mitrovic

For me, back 4 and try Bobby DR in the central striking position. Little difference to me if Cav, RLC or Kebano on right of attack. I don't think it's the game for Mitro as we'll get more out of speed on the ground than aerial power. If we're under the cosh for periods of the game, Harrison Reed can slot in the back 4 to add bodies to the defence


Areola

Tete, Andersen, Tosin, Robinson

Reed, Anguissa, Lemina

Cav, BDR, Lookman

Tete - Anguissa - Reed - Robinson
Decordova-Reid - Mitrovic - Lookman

This team with the following instructions:
Aina and Tosin to be allowed to step forward alternately as we attack

Mitro surrounded by pace - to be told to stay within the width of the penalty area

When Tete or Robinson have it wide, the three front men go near post, far post, penalty spot. The other full back available for over hit cross and Anguissa/Reed edge of the area.

BDCR and Lookman to run in behind off the shoulder. Mitro will drop and link, no need for them to.

He had a very dodgy 25 mins at the end of the first half, but second half defensively he was excellent and won a huge amount of headers.
He saved us a point with his last minute block too.
I've been impressed with him the last 10 games or so.

Post by: Lordedmundo on January 28, 2021, 04:00:18 PM
I think we have to pick the best eleven and then a formation that suits them. So, I would go with 433 which has Lemina as the extra man in the middle to allow Anguissa to break forward and the best front three in terms of goal scoring capability:

Areola

Tete
Andersen
Tosin
Robinson

Reed
Lemina
Anguissa

Reid
Mitrovic
Lookman

Aina unlucky to be dropped, but he can potentially replacing a tiring Tete. Plus RLC to replace Lemina if we need an extra man breaking forward in the middle.

I think we should only revert back to 5 at the back when we will need to play counterattcking football (in other words against top 6 sides and possibly Everton and Arsenal).  It could also be useful when defending a lead in the last 10-15mins...

Minority here but I do think Loftus-Cheek wins headers and can hold the ball up front. Something BDR can't.

So I understand Robinson can play?

Tete        Anguissa     Reed    Robinson

Ok, this might be the ramblings of a madman but here goes. 

First, I admit I messed up in my last lineup pick with including Anderson.  Forgot he was still on a red card suspension.  Exclude that I was pretty spot on with Parker's pick for Brighton. 

I like Denver Fulham's lineup of a 4-2-3-1.  It is one of my preferred formations for youth football coaching as it is a very flexible and can be become very attack minded while still providing adequate defense. 

The one thing for me is that I really, really was not impressed with RLC and Anguissa in the Brighton match.  For that matter I wasn't impressed with Cav either who I really love as a player.  So, the question is then who would I pick to replace them.

While I would prefer to go with a very attack minded formation of 4-3-3, I think because we are at West Brom (though without fans in the stands does it really matter) I would stick with Denver Fulham's 4-2-3-1 formation with a few tweaks.  I would go with this instead.... 

(https://www.friendsoffulham.com/forum/gallery/295467_29_01_21_5_39_30.png)

I know dropping Harrison Reed is harsh as he has had some fantastic performances of late.  I just agree with other that Lemina is more attack minded while also being able to help with the defense.  Again, I would drop Anguissa and add Tete instead for the same reason that I put in Lemina.  Both really like to get forward in the attack while offering defensive options.  That's a big plus for me right now. 

As far as support for Mitro which I absolutely hope Parker plays, I want more attack minded players that look to connect and make things happen in the final third.  So, to make that happen I would go with Lookman, Kebano and Bobby Reid. 

Anyway, here is to hope for all three points regardless of what Parker picks.   049:gif 049:gif 049:gif

                    Mitrovic

I'd have this team but change BDR for Tete as he's more attacking

Yes Robinson can play. Three game ban. Done.

Bobby has to play as does Anguissa, only changes should be Tete stands down for Robinson, Cav and RLC out and Bobby moves up and Mitro starts. Then we have a decent chance of actually scoring a goal or two.Bobby has to play as we need goals...he will provide something up top along side Lookman. Just getting Cav off the pitch will improve our chances...we literally could have ten men and it would be better.

Ideally we score, lead and do not shut up shop but try and get a few more.Good luck, if we don't win tomorrow then when do we ? COYW !

My team would be as follows for the starting 11
I would change to a flat back 4, cannot afford to play Aina, he is a week link at the back, his positional sense is poor at this level and his distribution is worse than Tim Reams.
A toss of the coin between Reed and Lemina.
Plus we need to score goals which means support for the front line everytime we are in possession.
That way we have two outlets when winning the ball back, Lookman and BDR on each side.
Leave Lookman to attack the right full back getting round the back of their defence.

                          Areola

Tete       Anderson.     Tosin.         Robinson

BDR.     Zambo.         Reed.        Lookman

                         RLC

                        Mitro


Subs
Rodak, Bryan, Lemina, Kebano, Kamara. Cavalero, Onomah,   Last 2 subs from Ream, Hector or Aina.

Surprised how many people want RLC in the first eleven. I'd put Lemina in for him.

I'd like to see Lemina and Loftus-Cheek start

I think the 3-5-2 against Burnley was the right idea, just wrong personnel.

                           Areola

             Aina       Andersen      Tosin

Tete       RLC      Zambo     Reed      Robinson

                  Mitro      Lookman

I'll admit, this is a bit of a fantasy lineup, but I if we want to get some type of quality attacks, we have to have multiple points at each level. So RLC holding onto the ball deeper, can find Lookman a layer higher, then of course Mitro even higher. The only qualm I have is not having BDR in there. I know some may lost faith in Aina after his poor passing, but his tracking and clearances were quite important in the Brighton match. I did toy with the idea of having BDR in place of Tete, and Tete take over for Aina - but we've never seen that, and I'd hate the WBA match be one to try something to experiment on.

Regardless, no BDR at LWB - and unfortunately Cav has worn out his welcome.

I like this and would probably go for it. Either that or this to change it up a bit and have a real go:

                           Areola

   Tete       Andersen      Tosin       Robinson

   BDR            Zambo     Reed       Lookman
                              RLC
                             
                             Mitro

The more I think about it the more certain I am that this is the best team we can put out, you have a lot of attacking players there and Mitrovic is better than Cav no ifs or buts. We should have 4 at the back and have a go this weekend

Agree with this. We can switch back to 5 at the back once we are 3 nil up

The only game we've scored 3 goals in this season we lost... not a good omen

Lovin this lineup. WBA sends 2 defenders to mark Mitro while we attack from sides, leaving Lookman enough space to have a go from dropped ball.

Look the bottom line is that any team with Cav in it fails to score and wastes possession.

Best to leave out Aina, RLC and play BDR up front but Parker is very conservative in his selection so lets at least hope for just one of those changes. Drop Cav. Permanently. Good luck here's hoping !!
