AFCON formation

[Lanzo-Ad]

As we know we are going to lose at least Sarr from Dec 8th, and maybe Esse and Uche, although OG doesn't seem to rate either, so i think a slight tinkering for at least until the transfer market, 3-5-2.

Nketiah, Mateta and Pino for the 2, rotating,
Mitchell, Lerma, Wharton, Hughes, Muñoz, with Kamada, Deveny, Sosa, Clyne and Doucoure? cover
Guehi, Lacroix, Richards, with Canvot and Riad as cover.

Doesn't sound as bad if this formation is used.

Fly in the ointment for Nketiah, he has been sounded out to switch allegiance from England to Ghana, especially now they have qualified. He only has one England cap & that was as a substitute v Australia . . .

Eddie Nketiah on Ghana rumours: 'The future will take care of itself'

As fans in Ghana debate bringing in diaspora players for the World Cup, Crystal Palace's Eddie Nketiah does not rule out switching allegiance to the Black Stars.

I worry that doesn’t suit Pino, he was playing as a winger last year and is still adapting to playing as a ten in the PL.

I don’t see OG changing the formation that has brought him success, rightly or wrongly. If we have Nketiah I could see him coming into the front three on rotation but Glasner seems to favour Kamada and Devenny in those positions to anything more drastic.

Whichever formation the lack of goals in the squad is a worry. Until the window opens we’ve really got to hope Esse and/or Uche are around and Glasner finally feels they are ready.

Talk of Nketiah playing for Ghana still.

Exactly, if we don’t have Nketiah the options are even more sparse.
