4-4-1-1 with Brownhill playing narrow right midfield and Brady playing narrow left midfield (i.e. pack the midfield out).

Brownhill and westy slightly more licence than cork who sits and mops/dictates play. Jay up top on his own as I think he's our best technically gifted striker and has a good long range shot, with support from the 2 wide and Brownhill/westy.
Edit was Cork auto corrected to work

Can see him changing it today, it's a free hit and if it doesnt work he can revert back to custom settings.
Wasnt it City away where he changed it, played Vydra up top on his own then after a battering said something along the lines of people are questioning why certain players haven't played, well they did today..

If you had to name the 20 premier league sides starting 11 of a weekend would you not be able to get most right ?
Re: Your team and formation vs Liverpool
Vydra n Jayrod up front 100%. Barnes n Wood need dropping, they have been shocking the last couple of months.

We are not effective at all up front and we might just lose 1-0 instead of 4-0.

Bardsley puts a better ball in than Lowts, and occasionally has a good shot from distance.
Liverpool would be more threatened by the pace of Vyds, and the spinning of Jay Rod, than lumping balls to Wood and Ash (it's a horses for courses thing).
I'd be tempted to go 5 in the middle and play Cork for one of the strikers, but if you concede early with that formation you've got nowhere left to go.

I agree whatever we try against the big boys we'll probably lose anyway, so why not at least have a go, and you never know if we can put them under enough pressure we might just get a result, goodness if Brighton, Fulham, Newcastle & West brom can draw with Liverpool then why can't we.

Re: Your team and formation vs Liverpool
Almost certainly SD will give Vydra a start alongside Wood, he'll barely get a kick for 65 minutes because we only have 13% possession of the ball and then SD will say, the lad had his chance, looked out of his depth and Barnes is back next week. (After we've lost 3-0)

Come on, surely you can see that the current two are just not working.

Re: Your team and formation vs Liverpool
The manager will go with the same preferred lineup with two barge poles up front and ironically this is probably the best game for these tactics. Liverpool have their injury problems in central defence and are playing various makeshift combinations. I think that they definitely have a weakness in the air and that we have a chance to exploit whatever pairing they put out.
So (fingers crossed) if our defence can do their usual efficient job I think that we can scramble something from tonight’s game.

Re: Your team and formation vs Liverpool
I was being more than a little tongue in cheek and let's be honest it doesn't matter who gets picked, we aren't coming away with owt! (I know we have done on a couple of occasions recently, but we're not the team we were even 12 months ago and I was probably being generous suggesting we'd get 13% possession!) Which is why I suggested Dyche might throw the shirt to Vydra as a fop to all those who say he hasn't had very many chances (and that includes Vydra himself!)claretonthecoast1882 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 9:18 amThe way his cheerleaders go on though, if Vydra starts tonight we win don't we ?
I'm honestly not sure where I personally stand on Vydra. He's definitely different to any other option we have up front and I feel his pace and his movement and his first touch are much better than anyone else and for his "minutes on the field" he seems to get a lot of chances and half chances, but he does seem to miss more than his share too.
