Football Pitch League Cup vs Wolves. An alternative setup

Post Keep dreaming »

 West Ham United - Wolves (Alternative Lineup)Formation: 0-0-10 (A Wall of Men)

 Manager: Graham Potter.His cluelessness about football will lead to a wonderfully chaotic and unpredictable pre-match preparation. His tactics will consist of a few vague instructions and a shrug.

 Goalkeeper: A large, stable bench.Since Hermansen can't jump or dive, and Paqueta is too good at it, we might as well put a bench in goal. At least it's solid and will block most low shots.

 Defense: Zero.We don't have wingers, so we don't need fullbacks. We're going all-in on offense and will let the potential bench-keeper handle whatever comes from behind.

 Midfield: Empty.With Soucek unable to run, there's no point in having him in midfield. It would just be sad to watch him try to keep up. We'll save him for the forward line.

 Attack: * 10 players (all the other players, including an injured Soucek, a Paqueta who dives around on the ground to distract opponents, and a match-ready Füllkrug). 
* Closest to the Wolves goal: Füllkrug. He's ready to fight, so he'll scare off the opponent's defenders and clear a path for the rest of the attackers. 
* In the middle of the pitch: Paqueta (in an attacking position, lying on the ground and flinging himself around). His acrobatic skills will confuse the opponents and maybe even make them laugh so much they forget to defend. 
* Around Paqueta: The remaining players will cling to him since they have no specific position.

 Tactic: "Fight and Flail"This tactic involves Füllkrug entering the box and scaring opponents, while Paqueta dives around, creating chaos. The rest of the team follows. Should a ball come near the goal, there's a chance it might hit the bench.

Tumbleweed likely to be seen rolling thru the stands tonight. Moves quicker than our midfield though.

Wan-Bissaka Kilman Aguerd Scarles 

                         Potts Soucek 

                Bowen Paqueta Diouf

                             Wilson


Both Teams not in any form or have their shooting boots on yet, so going for a nervy 0-0 - Wolves to go through on Pens (The West Ham Way)

Would be lovely to see a bit of fucking passion and fight though at the very least!
 
Change Id make is Mavro for Scarles with Aguerd at left back. Other than that totally agree with this lineup.
