Match Reaction v Waterford (home).

[I am invisible]

i was thinking on similar lines although maybe a kind of 4222:


Leno

Bellerin Sokratis Holding Monreal

Torreira AMN

Ozil Iwobi

Laca Auba



i realise that means Ozil is potentially wide but with the FBs still coming up he can drift inside easily enough without Ramsey cluttering up the place

I would imagine most of the width would still come from the FBs there, with Özil and Iwobi going left, right central, and swapping sides

I was thinking of something like this (*you’ll have to hit reply to see the shape, instead of the formattingless blob you get after posting)...

Leno

Sok Hold Mavs
Bell Torr Guen AMN
Özil
Laca Auba

My choice of players (and where I’ve put them) may not be for everyone, but I like the idea of those passing triangles / diamonds appearing up and down the pitch, depending on where the wingbacks advance to. That and not having my heart in my mouth if they get caught too high up the pitch with no chance of getting back!
