Using the 352 is just going to be a shot in the dark.

Neither Frank nor Jody know how to use or coach the 3 man backline formations.

It takes a lot of know-how to properly set up a 3-x-y and play competent in it.

Just look at Germany for example. None of those players suck. That manager is a legendary one. Trotted out the 3 man back line and got smacked up for it.

Frank sending out the 352 with his approach to football. Liverpool will probably 8-0 us.

If you can�t defend 3-5-2, 3-4-3 is a fail safe really because it�s flat back 5 without the ball with a red arrows type counter.

Chelsea fell away because we
Replaced a striker with Morata.

The next team that does it probably wins the league again because everyone wants the ball and presses high.

It�s a very low energy system. It�s not hard to defend in a 5 man defence. It helps ****** players like Willian too because you give him green grass to sprint into and make his decisions very easy

Frank wants a high press though.

So we will end up seeing: (a weird, 21214)

Kepa
---------AC -------- Zouma
[ insert mile of space here ]
Azpi ----------‐----------
--------Kante ------ Kovacic
Barkley
James -- Tammy -- Mount --- Alonso

When it's put into play by Frank Lampard.

His desire to press high. The conversion of Mount into a mini-Lampard. Alonso being over attacking. Barkley preferring to play 10 and Azpi's tendency to get caught wandering forward at weird times (ref: Norwich game)

The 3 man backline could work if it were an experienced manager, or one who started with it in the first place.

Like Bielsa at Leeds. He could coach that.

Frank however, he still hasnt figured out that you need to coach compactness if you want to press high. So his 4231 has a mile of space between the back for and the high press.

That Kosovo opener was a mistake.

It was like a gazelle deciding to attack a lion and then the lion eating the gazelle and everyone it’s ever known.

Weighed.

Measured.

Wanting.

Holy christ that goal that Portugal just scored against Lithuania Lithuania's keeper should never be allowed on a pitch again

[BigZ44]

What the bloody hell is going on in this England game? I was surprised to see it was 2-1, so I turn it on, awful own goal on Kosovo then England easily puts in 2, so i change it. Come back and Kosovo has scored 2 more and then about a minute after turning it on Kane stopped on a PK lmao.

Blame JJROD for that lol, Kane is no Milivojevic

[Sparked_26]

What was that tackle on Mount, ffs.

Would have been typical of how our academy players are getting serious injuries if that gave him a break.

So annoying. That’s the sort of challenge you get on Sunday league and you’d have a designated player to take that lads chin off.

[JJRod]

Break is over time for good football again.
Gonna be some good games mid week with first round of the champions league.
Interested to see how Pep takes on the campaign.

[JJRod]

I give Zidane 3-5 more weeks before Madrid replaces him with Mou

[BigZ44]

Spurs about to get smashed, Palace to 3rd in the table by the end of the day!

****ing hell, Sakho is getting roasted like a rotisserie chicken out here
