Suggested Team and Formation For: Watford (away)

jeudi 16 décembre 2021

It won't go ahead, but just in case it does, and to generate some debate:

------------------------Guaita----------------------------
Ward--------Andersen--------Guehi-----------Schlupp
------------------------Hughes-----------------------------
-------------Gallagher------------Eze----------------------
-------Ayew-------------Zaha------------Olise--------------

Which becomes this in our 3-1-4-2 that we play in possession:

------------------------Guaita----------------------------
---------Ward--------Andersen--------Guehi----------
------------------------Hughes----------------------------
Ayew--------Gallagher------------Eze---------Schlupp
-----------------Zaha-------------Olise--------------------


1) Guaita and Andersen walk in to the team for their superior passing ability. 2) I'd give Mitchell a rest, and bring in Schlupp. I'd like to see what he could do as I think the system, with the left back high up the pitch, might suit him. He's got the pace to get up and down, and he could be a decent out ball as he is good in the air.
3) We need more creativity in midfield so only one holding midfielder. I've picked Hughes, but could equally see the case for Kouyate because it's quite a small team and we might need his height and physique. Even McArthur would be ok there if he was fit.
4) Eze into the midfield as we desperately need to be able to pass through there. Olise also more central - the left sided player of the front 3 drifts into more central positions than the right sided player of the front 3 who has to provide the width. Eze and Olise could switch positions. They both have to start games soon. They are far too good to be left on the bench.
5) Zaha through the middle. His link-up play is good, and he can't beat a full back anymore so he may as well make some runs in behind. His finishing is probably better than Edouard and Benteke based on current form too.
