Starting Frontline - Thoughts?

Featured Replies

Who ya got?

I say Sterling, Havertz, Mount.

If Mount plays in more of a midfield role, I say Sterling, Havertz,  Pulisic.

Thoughts on what Tommy will go with?

Makes sense. Right behind those 3 there should be Gallagher, he had 8 PL goals last season, the same as Havertz and Lukaku. I don't agree with the 3-4-2-1 system where Gallagher would be so deep in the midfield, he needs to be further up the pitch.

Who TT will start vs Everton?

Imo Sterling, Havertz and Mount.

Who he should start based on who we currently have?

Imo Sterling, Broja and Mount.

Either way it won't make a difference of we do not adjust our passing game, bring in a proper creative midfielder, and oh yeah sign James Ward-Prowse!

In a front 3/current system, I would agree Sterling, Havertz, Mount.  We need to find a way to get another attacker into the mix though, and could easily add Werner, Broja or Gallagher to a front 4.

I agree we will definitely start with Sterling, Havertz, and Mount. Even though Broja is an exciting talent, the central forward role will be Havertz's to lose. I am hoping Broja gets some decent minutes from the bench at least.

Unless Havertz can become a 20 goal a season player, I still think we will need another option longer term.

I think as we currently stand we will have two flavours:

 

1- Sterling   Havertz Mount -  Broja the sub for these.

2 -Sterling and Havertz - Broja the sub.

Just a front two where Mount sits on the bench and probably Gallager is the third m/f, a closing down and attacking m/f.

 

Havertz just doesn't produce as a striker, but I can't see us signing another striker.

Ideally, if we had a better defence and midfield we'd play a system to try and get the best out of our attack.

E.g. something like a 4-2-3-1

Mendy

James   Silva   Koulibaly   Chilwell

Kovacic   Kante

Mount   Havertz   Sterling

Decent striker

I want to see us weaned off Jorginho, cos he really is a boring player, who always initiates 'Just one more sideways pass, Up front, if he's here 
.....Werner  Broja  Sterling, play 433,

......................................Mendy
James.................Silva.....................KK.............Chilwell
     ...............................Kante........................
.........Gallagher..........................................Mount
Sterling.........................Broja/?....................Werner

Play the sideways backwards sh*t it won’t matter who plays up front. 

True as the ball won't ever get to them especially if they're in the box😁

 

I'm starting to think we are way too attacking, and should play a couple of defenders on the wing, with Havertz thru the middle.  Yes, 10 defensive players and 1 attacker.

Lampard tried that at some point, we were 9th and he lost his job shortly after. Take our Jorginho from that system and we're clueless, proven already multiple times.

Agreed.

It's why I have been advocating for De Jong as our midfield works best when we have a holding midfielder + advanced ball winner. 

Odds are Barcelona wouldn't want to sell to us or he would prefer to go to Man United cause of Ten Hag...

The transfer ban, loss of Hazard, Kante's injury. But it went tits up because he didn't pick Jorginho? Hhhmmmm.

All of that happen in the first season, Lampard played mostly 4-2-3-1 with Jorginho and Kovacic and it worked. It was in the second season when he tried the 4-3-3 with Kante at the base of the midfield and it was terrible. Tuchel took over, brought back Jorginho, Alonso, Rudiger... Top 4, CL title.

@Scott

 i like that lineup 

James could move into the midfield and Chillwell go high up on the left

 

Silva - Koulibaly

Kante

James               Kovacic

                                                             Chillwell

Mount>>>                                         Sterling           

          Havertz Broja
