I get the 5 man defense for big games, but I don't understand why we would need a defensive system today against Partizan. Might as well bring LVG back...ugh

That system doesn't have to be defensive. You can play like we are with the sing backs really high

 

[Sassy Colin]

Misplaced one-two passes is lighting things up? Interesting

You're new here, aren't you?

 

[2 man midfield]

I just love McTominay

 

[devilish]

Why are we playing 5 defenders vs partizan?

 

[KennyBurner]

Mctominay is so much better playing further up the pitch. Nice drive from him.

 

[Eric7C]

Why are we playing 5 defenders vs partizan?

The (current) United Way.

Whoever resists cursing at Lingard will receive a gift

But he just...

*bites lip*

 

[onemanarmy]

Half of our players are hiding from the ball. Pathetic.

Wooosh

You are asking an impossible task. Keep your gifts.

It is defensive if our WBs are AWB and Rojo

 

[Samid]

Pitch looks super dry, needs the sprinklers on full force at half time.

 

[kouroux]

Why are we playing 5 defenders vs partizan?

Because we naively think it worked well vs Liverpool so it has to be the way forward

 

[Andycoleno9]

Lingard: "don't pass to me. Pass to him pass to him"

 

[KennyBurner]

You're new here, aren't you?

You missed the new member in my name?

 

[devilish]

The (current) United Way.

Seriously not even Mou would have gone so defensive

 

[Random Task]

According to BT Sports it's...
Martial
Garner Lingard
Mata
McT Jones
Williams Rojo Maguire AWB

Someone hasn't done their homework on Garner

Fyi it's not actually the above, it's each player in their actual position.

We've started in a 352/532.

BT don't know what they're talking about.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Why are we playing 5 defenders vs partizan?

Zero creativity in the midfield so we need two up front to play off each other. Plus we've no wingers.

 

[2 man midfield]

Ahh he needs to be scoring that

 

[Mcking]

It is defensive if our WBs are AWB and Rojo

So it isn't defensive then

Sutrely it's Williams and AWB as wingbacks and Jones as Cb?

 

[Moved To Differently]

Didn't like Jones holding his hand out for that long and physically obstructing AWB's attempt to play a risky forward throw. In the end all that happened was we went from having possession in the final third to playing across the centrebacks. AWB's inclination to take a risk vs. Jones' safety first attitude that's no doubt been a factor in his prolonged periods on the injury table.

 

[prateik]

Should be ahead.

 

[No Love]

Come on, you can’t miss those.

 

[AaronRedDevil]

Anyone got a river?

 

[mu4c_20le]

feck thought that was in

 

[devilish]

Because we naively think it worked well vs Liverpool so it has to be the way forward

It made sense vs Liverpool as they have a better side but Partizan? Do we need 3 CBs to keep sadiq at bay?

 

[Andycoleno9]

Misplaced one-two passes is lighting things up? Interesting

You joined yesterday?

 

[GifLord]

McTomminay chance

 

[devilish]

So it isn't defensive then

It is extremely defensive. AWB is an excellent defensive fb, Rojo is, well, Rojo. God only knows what he is good at

 

[In Rainbows]

bad header from McTominay

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

Scotty not hotty! Bury that lad!

 

[KennyBurner]

You joined yesterday?

The day before yesterday.

 

[Ban]

Nope, getting tickets was a pain even for east/west, might regret it but next time (if it happens) not gonna depend on friends who know the guy that knows some shady junky guy in Belgrade to provide tickets and they thought giving money in front was a worth a risk, idiots.

Kužim sve.

 

[Moved To Differently]

Commentator saying hit the target, what would be the point when the keepers' closed down that well? Cushioned header across and it's a nailed on goal.

 

[Catt]

Rojo's dad is manging Partizan.

 

[Withnail]

It is extremely defensive. AWB is an excellent defensive fb, Rojo is, well, Rojo. God only knows what he is good at

Williams is the other WB

 

[Andycoleno9]

It is defensive if our WBs are AWB and Rojo

We have only one forward in first 11. Of course it is defensive

 

[kouroux]

It made sense vs Liverpool as they have a better side but Partizan? Do we need 3 CBs to keep sadiq at bay?

I share your concern, I hate this formation. I understand its use in certain games but the whole 3 at the back stuff, it's not my cup of tea

 

[BlahRules]

Lingard is really shit.
