• Not sure why, but Iwobi is struggling a bit for form at the moment but he's more suited to playing inside. The only thing really Man U have going for them is their MF (and Bruno's set pieces), so I'd be wary in getting overrun, maybe the 3 at the back allows us to play a slightly different system against them- despite running both games against them this season we've got zero points so far!

  • Think Iwobi is burnt out, played every minute up to Christmas time (NT) -- Waterboy, Thursday, February 27, 11:46:22am (NoHost/90.241.99.11)

• I think we should and actually that may have been part of the thinking, match up against wolves as bit of an experiment in prep for Utd game, as both play a 3-4-3. Most pick themselves, Robbo, Bassey, Iwobi to come in. I’d keep Perreira and just marginally pick Raul over Muniz we their CBs would rather play a big strong Muniz and struggle against the sharper movement of Raul.

• I know that CBs have to be much more technically skilled than in days gone by since they probably get more touches these days than any other players - but usually I'm not a big fan of 5 at the back - it means sacrificing a [generally more skilled] Midfield player for a [generally less skilled] CB. It is a system skewed more to defence than attack and, for me , if it is a choice between Diop and eg Iwobi - I would always choose Iwobi especially since AR effectively plays like a WB anyway (NT) -- f bloke, Thursday, February 27, 11:58:20am (host86-134-9-56.range86-134.btcentralplus.com/86.134.9.56)
  • I’d say it’s more to do with matching up opposition, worked against wolves, played poorly v palace with a 4, all (with Utd) play a 3-4-3 type. Depends what you ask each individual to do, Bassey will have more freedom to roam and cast will get forward more, don’t see it as black/white as a back 3 being more defensive. I’d also argue Anderson is probs the best passer at the club, he can act as a deep playmaker, an area we lack when lukic & Berge are in front of a back 4.

• Lukic's two match ban, does it start with Utd., or is it just league games? (NT) -- MWKent, Thursday, February 27, 01:26:30pm (host-92-18-220-88.as13285.net/92.18.220.88)
  • just league (NT) -- Same Old Story, Thursday, February 27, 01:57:25pm (NoHost/90.241.80.71)

• It's important to keep the opposition guessing in terms of our tactics. Man U, and other sides, has to prepare for a back 3 as well as our 4231 formation. We need to evolve and play differently, based on who we are playing, but also to give the opposition something they are not prepared for.
