Ramdale Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Marshall Wisdom Mengi Clarke Byrne Knight Shinnie Buchanan Sibley Kazim-Richards Lawrence Roberts is unlucky to miss out, but I thought we saw the best of Sibley as a true No.10 behind 2 Center Forwards, so keep with that shape up front, which im not sure how we fit Roberts into? Knight & Shinnie have to play as a 2 deeper together. Both natural in that position and cover so much ground & pick up 2nd balls. I think we look a better side with 3 at the back. It also allows Byrne more freedom to get forward and ge is our biggest attacking threat. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Cresswell training with the 1st team today, Chance he might make the bench for the first team squad this weekend? Be nice to see an academy forward hit the goal trail given a chance..have a feeling it might be Cresswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, looks like Kaz is doubtful according to Wayne...unless it's just a bit of a Red Herring to Stoke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Unconfirmed reports Cresswell is training with the first team. Questions have to be asked if CKR is fit ? You heard it here first (ITK). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Although Kaz has done a lot for the team this season we need to develop options and look beyond him. Perhaps Cresswell will allow us to play with more pace rather than hold up play from a lone striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 No CKR and Gregory not being able to play against his parent club means we will probably have Waghorn up top. That means the midfield unit will need to create approximately 63 clear, easy to finish chances if we are to expect Waghorn to score two goals.

Be nice to see an academy forward hit the goal trail given a chance..have a feeling it might be Cresswell Just a precaution at this stage. Gregory is unavailable, Kazim is doubtful, potentially leaving just Waghorn with no other cover. Cresswell deserves it. He's been great all year, but has recently regained his scoring form from 18/19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Rooney mentioned about playing Lawrence as a false 9, or having no striker at all up front. Feeling very nostalgic about this.

For me a toss up between Edmundson and Mengi, his extra height wins it for the former. Surprised after Tuesday that some are advocating a flat back 4 ?

Knight, Lawrence & Jozwiak actually played pretty well as a front 3 that day, despite the lack of a goal to show for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without CKr and Gregory we have little aerial threat except from set pieces. So perhaps Watson central midfield, and Sibley Lawrence and Roberts ahead of him.
