I'm bringing my boots tonight. Like Taylor's they are made of lead. I'm also bringing my pet sloth, to show Taylor an example of speed when compared to him.
I know they are all much of a muchness in terms of how shite they are but execution is a bit of a strong punishment.

I'd probably go to a 3 with Diakite splitting them or using Gilchrist in his best position RCB.
The howls at the formation would be unbearable though.
Indeed - the formation wasn't the issue in the back 3, more so the organisation and asks of the individuals in each position. We executed 3 at the back several times under Mason without any issues, and indeed against Charlton we looked very comfortable playing that way.
I have no idea what to expect tonight, but the thought of Taylor at CB in a back 4 does not fill me with any optimism!
There's been a few times this season I've thought we should execute the back 3....
I dread saying it before the game but Taylor actually looks better at CB than at LB. I think that might be the way he goes. Or possibly with Diakite as a 3rd CB?
