With that bench I can only assume we either will start with a back 3 or we have the ability to shift to it at some point. Something I'm not sure anyone has mentioned is Tuchel actually like a 3214 formation which is absolutely radical I have no idea how that would work.

Tuchel will get some stick for his 1st lineup..lol

Incase your wandering...here's the stick you was referring to

Have I missed something - is Mount carrying a knock or being rested/dropped? The line up indicates that Tuchel feels Frank’s faith in youth was somewhat misplaced though interesting to see CHO there; he tends to have more of an impact from the bench.

Hmm I wonder. Does Mr. Tuchel think Wolves will have issues with wide players cutting inside to cross on their stronger foot and 2 tall forwards, one who is great in the air, giving them problems?

Exactly this, we got overrun with mount kante and whoever else played

I don't get it, at first Kante being in the middle helped out, afterwards it fell apart and it became apparent that the way we were setup under Lampard just didn't work full stop. Kante was practically invisible in that City game and Mounts defensive aspects are ridiculously overrated on here. 

Interesting team, Alot of talk that CHO will be right wing back, but it looks like its going to be flexible, and we can move between 343/352 to 433-4231. 

Even before Lampard got sacked, I posted he should use 3 at the back more than he has, because we have seen it get results last season. 

Excited but a little skeptical that it isny trying to do too much having had just 1 training session.

 

Justice for Mason.

 

Other than that interested to see what Tuchel has in store for us.

I hate you, well I want to hate you but you keep on making me admire you and its bloody infuriating

Back 3 two sitting midfielders a box to box in front and then a front four in which the two wingers are tasked to go box to box too? I'm guessing but could this really work in the prem and would he even consider this?

That seems like a very drastic change considering he has had half a session with the squad.

That midfield is just soft as butter. Let's see how Azpi fares against fast players like Podence. And Alonso on the bench... Really?

Lets hope he is wrong but does sound like the sort of thing the club would do. Lets loan out another midfielder when we are already looking short of options as it is.

Not looking forward to seeing kova and Jorginho together but hey he’s the boss

3-4-3 then? Azpi, Rudi and Silva at back. Chilly and CHO bombing the flanks. Kovacic does the destroying and Jorginho distributing.

Brutos likes wallowing in his own misery though the happy little f**ker...

He used Piszvzek in a similar role at Dortmund, right centre back in a 3, but then can move to right back to make a back 4.

We probably know the players better than Tuchel so who knows what happens ?

Some people are saying a 343 but on the 5th stand app they put it as 4231. If 343 is the formation, not sure CHO does enough defensive work to be ahead of Reece as a wing back.

Trying to figure out how that 11 would fit this 3-1-2-4 system.
