SCIAG CountryRoyal It will be hard to break them down so I'd like to see Piazon used centrally.
Would take a draw tbf.
Playing Piazon in midfield isn't a "take a draw" strategy. So far, he's looked shaky defensively. If we play him centrally, it means we're going for three points - particularly if Williams also starts.
Sorry my points, whilst not mutually exclusive, may be somewhat confusing.
I'd have him as a CAM rather than sitting as a cm a la tish, Williams and Quinn - that would just be suicide. I think he could influence the game more from there than a left forward position. Just my opinion from what I've seen, which is saying a lot because he's done well for us so far.
Against the best back 4 in the league over this season and last were going to need that extra bit of creativity to pick the pass to unlock them. If they sit back and play on the counter like they previously set up for and play so damn well then it's going to hard, they'll flood the box and I doubt we'll have much joy down the wings. I know we played over 45 minutes with 10 men against derby, but for me we really struggled to create anything really clear cut and boro are defensively better.
I feel that Piazon as a 10 could be the answer to get through a strong and stubborn boro defence, but I would be more than happy to line up exactly the same way as we did against Burnley and trust in Clarke.
