I think it’ll be 5 at the back personally looking at that….

Bacuna and Buchanan as wingbacks.

James, Sunjic and Bielik in the middle

Dembele and Stansfield up top.

I think this to, that bench is poor though, case of who's left & fit to go on it though I think... Rooney uses that Bingo machine in the managers office more than Clarke did I think?

Yes thats how I see it

And could easily be 3-4-3 with the wingbacks further forward and James at No. 10

(4-3-3): Ruddy; Aiwu, Roberts, Sanderson, Buchanan; James, Bielik, Sunjic; Dembele, Stansfield, Bacuna

Longelo is fine at LWB. Not sure why Buchanan at LCB and Longelo at LWB has not been used yet. Longelo is fine at wing back with Buchanan sweeping behind him.

I mean we don’t know but let’s just hope the players do Rags 😂

Is this the officially the end of front foot, high press football?
19:09, Wed 13 Dec
When we signed Aiwu Eustace talked about him being able to play RB

The Blues website shows James and Sunjic holding with Bielik as the attacking midfielder.

I presume that's not actually how we'll line up.

I haven't been particularly impressed with Aiwu so far ... but against Cardiff at right back he should be okay ... or do they have some dynamic left winger i'm not aware of ?
19:10, Wed 13 Dec
Maybe the penny has dropped and its back to what came before...

Which is fine by me... Providing the results come. We desperately need a run of positive results.

I really hope not 😂

Yes i remember that .... also seen clips of him looking quite impressive in midfield too

Who knows? Could go all out Pep with a 1-2-4-2-1 set up...

I don’t believe so.
Karlan Grant & Yakou Meite will be a handful though.

Bielik and Sunjic crucial tonight, they’ll have to get through a lot of work.
