It didn't work against Chelsea, it won't work against Citeh.

Go all out on the attack, that's the last thing they'll expect.

I'd go 10 at the back and keep the score down to 8 nil , goal diff might be the diff at the end of the season.

while that may seem like a great idea in theory, in practice I think we will get the tuning of our lives if we play an open game against them. have you not seen them play this season, its fvcking terrifying how good they are going forward.

5 at the back is fine, but it would have to be 3 centre backs and 2 wingbacks. The wingbacks would need to be able to get forward and cross. I like Taylor more than most do, but he shouldn't be near the team if we go down this route.

Would sacrifice having orthodox wingers, but allow us to compete in midfield, if we went 352/532, it may even give us a chance to judge Llorente and Baston.

If we set up like we did against Chelsea, it will only be a matter of how many we concede.

Well we've proved we're not good enough to contain the opposition defensively.

All I hope for and expect today is a change in attitude. I don't mind if he changes the team up, Leon maybe, even Routledge. Today we need something to shout about.

If we dish up Monkball anything like we did at Southampton I'll probably transcend from fury to apathy.

No Ki either please boss.

Are Monk's little truisms still painted on the changing room walls and around the ground and training facilities?

Or have they succumb to terrible graffiti alterations? Guido is still wondering why he is asking players to undertake Gay Management on a match day.

Well if we are looking to contain then i would just go 4 at the back with an enforcer playing in front of the back 4.
For example, have Amat in front of Fede and VDH.

We tried that at West Ham a few years ago, no enforcement happened.

I like this idea of 4-1-4-1 myself, with Routs and Barrow or Routs and Montero. Or if kamikaze Barrow and Montero.

We did not play five at the back against Man City. It is mind games by Pep. Hoping we might now stand toe to toe with them there by allowing them to run riot when we lose possession.
Five at the back can work but it is very different to our usual style and players are going to have trouble changing to that system. If VDH is right and he plays today then we might very well go for 5 in the first half to try and frustrate. VDH, Feddy or Jordi wil need to step up into midfield PDQ when we attack to have any chance of this being a success.
I know for some supporters this will make Frankie the anti Christ but if we make a fist of it we will gave a plan A, B and C. Namely. Two wingers, one winger or 5 at the back dependant on who we are playing and what stage of the game it is.
Problem is if the players and ultimately the supporters don't buy into it........

Four at the back with two holding midfielders.

The way I see it, we are going to concede anyway, we need to nick a goal somehow, playing 5 at the back will completely nullify us.

Don't really think Guiod knows what his best team is, we are still in a trial and error process therefore think he will revert to 451 and hope for the best,Fabianski and 10 others.

I don't think we would go 90 mins with 5 at the back. I think it is there to nullify them initially and then go for it late on.

I think he know what he wants but has not got the players to achieve it. He also has a couple of dissenters and others off form. He is has got one mother of a job on at the moment. Having been put in this situation there is no better time to experiment than against the big boys, when points are a bonus, than against the Palaces and West Broms. I hope we have a more settled look about us by then. December is crucial month for all of us.

Based on 5 at the back, I'd probably go

Fab
Amat VdH Fed
Naughton Leon Kingsley
Fer Siggy
Llorente Baston

Like most, I don't know how good Mawson is, but have to admit I'd be tempted to play him instead of Fed. Toss up between Rangel and Naughton.

I'd have all three wingers on the bench, plus Cork, Rangel and Mawson.

The full backs would have to get forward as often as possible and Leon and Fer would have to balance covering them with supporting the attacking players.

I just don't see how we are going to get the best out of Llorente in particular, but probably Baston as well, if they are up front on their own.

No wingers is hardly ideal, but I think I'd prefer it to a 442.
