Bro,
Sorrie, I didnt put out the bench players name.
I dun mean no disrespect to Lucas.
But in my game plan, Lucas will be my come in to replace either
Gerrard or Meireles or Spearing.
That is assuming we need to change the midfield only.
If the strikers or taken off, then my take would be to get Gerrard to be on either flanks.
That way, we wont lose our defensive shape in the middle and back
as Gerrard tends to be everywhere.
( But he is getting old. Captain Mavel needs to slow down and use his experience. )
So when putting Lucas in, it will be either this
Spearing ( DM ) - Lucas ( DM )
Meireles OR Gerrard (CM )
or this
Meireles OR Gerrard (Holding Midfield )
Spearing ( CM ) - Lucas ( CM )
For this formation, the need for Spearing and Lucas to be strong in the centre when the opponents
dun play football and will mark our players very tightly.
In such a formation above, either Meireles or Gerrard will be 'shield' from the oppponets.
That will allows Meireles or Gerrard to spray the balls to either flanks or thu passes down the centre.
I doubt opponent teams will manmark either Meireles or Gerrard.
That is because if will expose a hole or missing person in the centre of the formation.
That will be tactically downhill for any team.
Hope it clarifys my views on the team.
