@@wisdomnzube4121 The expert in anything was once a beginner - Enzo is a disciple of Pep Guardiola and has a far higher ceiling than Poch. It's not farfetched in the slightest to argue that Enzo is better tactically as a coach, especially considering how poor Poch was last season for us. I would be rather shocked if we don't do far better this season than we did last season.

My only question is over Nkunku on the left wing, he usually prefer playing inside but you think he can still do that role without a fullback or Gallagher overlapping him?

@monocfc

I think he's more than capable, and I'd imagine he would interchange with whoever would be inside of him in the left 10 position, so half the time he'd be playing there instead of a normal winger imo

If he fails the sporting directors should go with him

This formation may suit Cucurella but not more forward-minded full backs like James, Chilwell and Gusto. Would it be possible to have an asymmetry to allow them to go forward? Or will they lose their places in the team?

Yes, I've seen this tactical breakdown. Along with ces, febrigas and some other up-and-coming managers. And they are all very good but I just love this man's passion about it.😊

The best player we have (if fit) not used to his strengths of shot-creating/goals in James, Shoehorning in either bad ballplayers (badiashile), or arial weak defenders (Trev) into a lineup seems stupid I do think we will see us utilize either Fernandez or Lavia as 3rd CB in possession, creating a base to build from. I also think Nkunku offers to little with on the left, so if we play him (he should start since he is our best attacker) we do need either a fullback or a midfielder step up and provide overlaps there. I do see us set-up with Sanchez Fofana - Lavia - Colwill Caicedo - Enzo James - Palmer - Nkunku - Chilllwell Jackson I just think injuries aside, Cucurella isn't good enough to warrant leaving out Enzo, while Nkunku and Palmer needs space centrally.

@monocfc

Ай бұрын

I can't take this seriously at all - Badiashile is a great ball-playing CB, and Chalobah isn't aerially weak in the slightest? I highly doubt Enzo will go the Sarri route considering he's used a 3ATB system all season, but it anyone WAS going to drop between the CBs it would be Caicedo, not Fernandez. Nkunku has been great from the left in the few times we've seen him there, and he doesn't need an overlapping fullback as he can interchange with the left 10 instead. Shoehorning in a terrible fullback like Chilwell is quite simply ludicrous imo. I doubt Sanchez will play as he's a liability on the ball in comparison to Petrovic who is much calmer in possession. My lineup in this video was one of many ways we could go about setting this team up, if I was strictly doing a strongest XI it would clearly be: Petrovic James Disasi Colwill Caicedo Enzo (RW) Palmer Gallagher Nkunku Jackson The RW could be either Madueke or Olise if he's signed. The issue is we have so much midfield depth that one of our DMs or FBs will have to be sacrificed in order for us to play In Maresca's style, and that's largely up for debate as to who that player would be, and I don't believe there's a definitive answer, either.

Mate this is a positional play coach ,he cares more about players occupying zones more than specific personell that oucupies those zones so he likes a 3-2-2-3 like you set up but it would be like this instead: Sterling Jackson James Nkunku Palmer Enzo Caicedo Colwill Badiashile Chalobah/Disasi This is the exact same system that Maresca employed at Leicester but without our biggest wide threat Reece in Midfield & Nkunku on the touchline

I don’t think they’d sign maresca knowing he doesn’t plan to use both Enzo and caicedo in the team together. I’m pretty sure he’ll tweak the system . But like for like, this is what it would look like

Don't forget Casadei might jump into the team considering his previous experience with EM, anything can happen, it's just speculation. Besides, with Lavia's injury record I doubt he'd be thrust into the starting 11 so quickly, he's been crocked for the entire season.

A quick question, will Palmer still get the freedom that he got with Poch or is his freedom going to be limited?

@monocfc

Ай бұрын

I would imagine so. He'd be playing a similar position (inside right 10) or off of the RW. Palmer is one of those players that is so good that he's always going to find freedom (whether that's by dropping deeper or moving into the pocket) regardless of where he plays.

On paper, this looks like a good appointment. In the real world, the pressure could be a big barrier to success.

If James stays fit for the entire season Gusto will be on the bench, but will most likely rotate in as we have a lot more games next season (with us being in Europe, 2 cups, and the league).

The fact that we are building looking at Leicester city DOESN'T SEAT WELL WITH ME. I just hope we'll not be playing a slow predictable "so called position football ".... For me Gallagher is a hard worker I really appreciate him because the lad is humble and willing to play for us,however i really don't think he's talented. Selling him will be best

He's used a mixture of the 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 last season, but regardless it always ends up in the 3-2-2-3, so it largely doesn't matter.

Enzo will be wise to continue Poch's formation that the players are used to & then slowly implement his tactics.

This team does not fit a inverted fullback setup. Reece james is either forced to play as the rcb or the DM in a pivot. He is one of the best attacking fullbacks in the world and everything we saw from him under TT will go away. Enzo and caicedo does not fit it either. One on of them has to move further up and neither of them are good there.

Palmer and nkunku are best in a inside forward position and one of them has to be playing out wide were both of them are wasted. This team is perfect for the tuchel setup and the only reason poch decided to use this was because of the injuries. It was only temporeraly

@monocfc

Ай бұрын

The system is fluid, the players aren't limited to those starting positions, it's just an example. Like we saw with Cucurella and Gusto, the two fullbacks would likely swap in and out of the inverted role depending on which side we are attacking, and this could provide opportunities for James to get forward. Enzo and Caicedo are both box to box midfielders, they can play anywhere as long as they are able to build-up from deep. We didn't see this from Poch because Enzo was shoved up into LF during build up.

On the contrary, a lot of Palmer's good work this season has come from him playing on the RW. He can very comfortably play there with Nkunku in the 10.
