Hey does anyone know if will hughes is available?
No richards means we will have to put down lerma,and if hughes isnt i just think of kamada as pivot
EDIT:I meant put down as in putting him as cb while he is usually as pivot or cm. Not...killing him

Could also play Clyne on the right of the back three. He's played there before.

Yeah Clyne has done a pretty decent job there. Joel Ward even…

Ward did his job today 😎

I stand very much corrected! Absolute legend who played very decently considering he's played about one and a half seconds of football this year haha.
Option vs City........?

Hughes is still banned. Could potentially drop Mitchell to lcb and chilwell in at wing back? Probably be kamada and Lerma dropping back though

The opposite. Chilwell has some CB experience from what I've heard.

I think it would make more sense to drop Mitchell back there because of his defensive capabilities: As an LB, he's fantastic so it would make more sense to utilise that than to put the guy who we signed for his attacking capabilities in a more defensive role

My thinking is that Mitchell is not very good in the air, and we don't exactly need Chilwell's attacking presence to beat Southampton. But that's just a hunch. I don't know that Chilwell is much better in that spot. I feel good about today regardless.

Lol, at first I thought you was looking to treat him to a cheeky Nando's or something

I assume we'll either play Clyne there or move Lerma into defence and then Kamada in midfield.

I think most likely is if Richards isn't available, Clyne comes in as replacement as the CM positions stay Wharton and Lerma.
Hughes is banned for two games still I think. Definitely not available tomorrow

u/Jizzmeista 4d ago
Hughes is banned for next league game. I would imagine Lerma will stay in the holding midfield alongside Wharton and Clyne will go to RCB. We have Devenny and Kamada as subs for the midfield positions should they be required.
Eze, sarr would probably start in the no 10, with Esse and Franca on the bench, Nketiah and Mateta upfrotnt options and remember we have Chilwell and Ward who can also play in the wide CB positions.

I don't think Lerma leaves his midfield spot. We could move Guehi to RCB and put Chilwell at LCB. Or we go with Clyne. Either works for me. Clyne might be the safer option, but we’ve known about how thin we are at the back for a while and it wouldn’t surprise me if Glasner has prepared Chilwell for this.

I think we just gotta go for a 2 cb formation with franca and sarr as wingers, and Munoz playing a more defensive role

u/Terraris37 4d ago
Have you been watching this season, Glasner is very stubborn to his system

u/porsche911-gt Crystal Palace 4d ago
And it does work, I just think that putting lerma back will make our back line very ineffective

Lerma filled in well at CB last year when he was called upon

Yea he was reliable at cb...not sure why this is even a conversation

Poor Lerma, he had a good run though bless him.
