Does Luiz have any experience in a three man defence?

My lad was saying he’d played CB before.
Someone mentioned it earlier on this thread, too.

How about 4-4-2, or is that a crazy thought?

Chucking Luiz in defence would be an act of desperation.

If we go 3 / 5 at the back, doesn't that mean all our fit defenders have to play 90 mins every single game with Taylor as our only potential cover?

If so, is that realistic / wise for the next 8 games in quick succession?
Try Mungo Bridge as a back-up (he played in the team that won at the Kingpower in the recent friendly).

I think he played the odd game there for Girona as they played 3 at the back pretty regularly last season.

You're probably right, mate. I was just playing with a formation and thought 'why not?'
Good on the ball, good passer, good in the tackle and looks decent in the air, too.


Probably harsh on Hause, though, as I think he's done pretty well the past two games.

We should try 3-4-1-2, if we have anything decent to select.

                        Nyland
             Konsa  Mings  Hause
Guilbert   Luiz      McGinn      Targett
                       Grealish
                Samatta   Davis

None of it works as we have no physicality and make too many stupid mistakes.  Four or five of that line up needs an upgrade.

it soon becomes 5 2 3 and we get over run in midfield.

This. We've seen it time and time again.... 

I'd go 442 with the diamond.
