The way things are going and with the ability Leipzig gave to score I think we need to be smart here.
Hold what we have.
Against every ideal I have Id go 4 5 1 to be a lot more solid and to kill space for them.
Trent and Robbo would be vital to this as would Thiago. Unless Kabak is ok we have to go again with Fab at the back I dont think Rhys will be up the movement of Leipzig
Alisson
Neco Philips Fab Tsimikas
Trent Thiago Milner Keita Robbo
Mo
Milner ahead of Gini for leadership and bite. Keita breaking alongbwith Trent and Robbo when we have the ball
Thiago, Milner and Naby must be the slowest set of midfield combinations anywhere, they wouldn’t be able to break out of a paper bag never mind leading any break against Leipzig.
I understand what you are saying about playing defensive but in some ways you may be asking for more trouble that way.
How confident are you of a back line containing Neco and Phillips and inviting the opposition onto us?
I think we might be better off pressing them higher up but in a 4231 or 41212.
Certainly one things for sure the 433 seems dead for us in terms of creating anything.
