In theory, but seeing as we're now trained to play a certain way, it shouldn't be quite as random and disjointed as in the past when we'd see our second string get a runout.Surprised he didn't go Mengi at CB and Matic next to Donny, but in a dead rubber why not. Should be a fun watch anywayHope we see Iqbal, Savage and Hardley off the bench. Never saw these guys, must be good players)Gas team. Excited to see it.
Wouldn't have bothered with Mata if I'm honestWell I think I got 10/11. Won't get any subs, though.
Exactly, I now want him made permanent manager just because of the lineup.Realistically it's a midfield 3 of Mata and Lingard ahead of Donny, and Amad and Elanga wide of Greenwood. Don't think Ralf is tied to 4222.Buzzing about this lineup.I think that formation might be flexible, very different in practice. Could see Shaw and Wan-Bissaka forming a back 3 with Bailly, with Matic playing as DM but dropping deep as CB when necessary and then Shaw and Wan-Bissaka move to their fullback positions. Mata might be a CM or CAM based on if we are attacking or not with only Donny beeing in a clear CM role. Jesse could move centrally with Greenwood or Elanga moving to the wing and the other one upfront etc..
But maybe I am wrong and it's just a crazy formation with everyone out of position. Interesting nevertheless
Who's our second CB?
Very easy to transition that into Donny and Lingard with Mata and Amad ahead, Greenwood and Elanga up top
Matic
Surely has to be Matic.We have 7 subs
You're allowed 12
I hope so, it would be pretty impressive if he gets that team to put in a good performance.Such a shame Hannibal isn't available. I think the kid is special
Kovar is also not that old, to be frank…we heve a guy called IQ Ball ?
and two goaliesWe have 7 subs
You're allowed 12
What central midfield - it's a team full of #10s and wide forwards!
Exciting lineup - I have no idea how they'll do, but should be fun to watch.
Yeah, I had Amad as XI and sub, but Mengi in just the XI and Mata just as sub. No other subs… so was close.Looks like an unbalanced team especially in midfield. But i’m sure Ralf is rightWho are Savage and Hardley?
To be honest there's hardly been any training sessions. Long way to go in that regard I imagine.Big night for Donny. Happy to see Elanga and Diallo in the starting lineup, as well.That’s a very exciting lineup!Its like having Louis van Gaal back only if Louis van Gaal’s personality shone through in his tactics and selection.Wow what a lineup! I'll be impressed if any actually manages to correctly what the formation will be and who will be where!
It could even be a 3142, with a back 3 of Shaw, Bailly and AWB with Matic just in front. Even if it were feck knows how the front 6 would be positioned though.Oof! What a line up! Who says the Germans are boring! This is going to be some craic.To admins: could you please kindly add Iqbal, Savage and Hardley to lineup selection options?The reserve boys in action! Mata and Amad to have worldies
I know Charlie Savage is Robbie Savage's son, he's a central midfielder, haven't seen much of him tbh.HendersonWe could be lining up like that.
AWB - Bailly - Shaw
Mata - Matic - VDB - Lingard
Amad - Greenwood - Elanga
Fergie-esque random lineup. Pretty much anything could happen tonight.Trust your squad and keep them match fit so when you need them they can come straight in
Ole would have played Magiire and Bruno in this matchAwesome team selection. Should be fun!7,000 year old Mata in centre mid is absolutely pants-on-head mental if that's what it ends up being.
I think I quite like it on the basis that Ole wouldn't even try that on a DMT induced vision quest.Could be 3 at the back with Lingard as a wingback.Must be a bit mad for Robbie Savage to be commentating if his son gets a run out tonight, must be a crazy proud moment.- Status
