Wonder save at Rotherham? Actually coming out for crosses? Really good and
quick distribution?

venture forward and overlap with Hernandez, who I've put on the left wing)CH:
CooperCH JanssonRB: Shackleton (Ayling has been poor the last few games; I'd
give him a rest and put Shackleton on, even though he's very short and 'Boro
are a team of giants; I think Shackleton would move the ball to Clarke more
quickly)
DM: Phillips (we need his aggression and range of passing, again to get the
ball to Clarke ASAP)
RW: Clarke (simply our most dangerous player, but the team have to get him the
ball more often and faster, so that he has time to attack the opposition at
speed, rather than receive the ball when they've already planted two men on
him)CM: Klich CM: Roberts (he looked quite good in the first half on Saturday,
and we need more creativity up front than we'd get with Forshaw) LW: Hernandez
(if he's uninjured, we could still use his nous and creativity; otherwise, I'd
put Harrison or Roofe here)
CF: Bamford (I think a fit Bamford will go a long way towards improving our
chances to goals ratio; like a lot of our regular starters, Roofe has looked
mentally and physically tired recently)
Subs: Casilla, Halme, Douglas, Ayling, Forshaw, Brown, Roofe.
The approach should be to attack Boro at pace, with lots of fast passing, with
the aim of either moving the ball quickly on the ground through the center of
their defence, or getting it to Clarke to get to the byline and put in the sort
of dangerous crosses/passes in which he specializes. Under no circumstances
should we play a mostly aerial game, nor dawdle on the ball long enough for
their physical players to knock us off it.
Cheers!

Subject: Re: [LU] Norwich - a few thoughts
Exactly my thoughts re the match..........Norwich were impressive,
especially in the second half, but every little thing and bounce of the
ball did go against us. Normally, I am a firm believer in the maxim that
"you mek yer own luck", but I felt that we started out looking great, and
they started out looking very jittery. Just about the only time they got
the ball in our half in the early minutes, Pontus imperiously strode away
with the ball..........and then was rather wierdly
dispossessed.........there followed a dubious freekick and a deflection and
suddenly we were a goal behind. Of course, after that, they suddenly
weren't so jittery any more. Their second goal was
similar............Forshaw lost it in almost exactly the same spot and same
manner, then a lot of things happened before Pukki had his tap in.
It will be interesting to see the team for Boro. Given that Bielsa has
bemoaned our defensive frailty, one would think that Phillips has to come
back in, but for whom? I thought that Forshaw was our best player for the
first hour at least. And Pablo..........what the hell was wrong with him?
He was awful and deserved to be subbed at ht, but unless he's injured he
must surely return. Dropping Roofe for Bamford would seem harsh but should
perhaps happen. And who at LB..........Douglas was pretty woeful.
