I prefer Bernardo going forward than Bong but Bong defensively. Converting Bernardo to a winger could work well especially with March on the otherside.
Both would offer going forward but we know defensively they would work hard.
It would be interesting to see how this plays out. Would love to see Dunk transition to a defensive midfielder on the attack and Bong tucks in to go to a more 3 5 2 formation on the attack and then a 4 4 2 in defense. But Dunk falls back into centre back on the defence
Interesting to see how this pans out

Au contraire, Murray is very much a target player, he is strong, good in the air, and holds the ball up, aren't they all attributes of a target player?

Pretty much spot on BG, is Bruno out? If not I'd have Bruno over Montoya as he's a better defender imho.
Going to be another 1-9-1 formation! Will be epic if we could bag another point. UTA

Having Bernardo in midfield in front of Bong could possibly work if we had any intent on going forward, unfortunately I see it panning out the same way the Wolves game went except at some point Spurs will find a way through, it's going to be a grueller, just wish we were going

Tottenham Hotspur 7. Brighton and Hove Albion 0.
We very well could be playing Tottingham Forest next season.

Is there really any point in playing with 9 men behind the ball and GM upfront? That doesn't work. The gap between midfield and GM is too big. Seems pointless to me. Moreover, if the Spurs defence don't have to worry about GM getting in behind, which they don't, that just pushes them further forward, and as a result, us further back.
We are going to be playing with (at least) 9 men behind the ball, so I'd start with Andone tbh. Balls in behind for Andone to chase would be much more effective at getting us up the pitch than balls into GM if he has nobody to hold the ball up for or lay it off to.

Bizarrely, whenever we play with Andone we decide to start crossing things, whenever we start with Murray we decide to play long balls.

we will not be able to do to Spurs what we did to Wolves....imo.
It is frustrating! We watch the team with Murray play in a way that would be perfect for Andone, then we get Andone on the pitch and start playing the way that Murray would benefit. Maybe we should get them to switch shirts before the game...

Something which would have me pulling my hair out if I had any is our reluctance to put the damn ball in the box. Solly and Izy where doing my head in against Wolves. Every time they got the ball down the wing it was the same thing, check back, wait, ponder, play an over thought pass, lose the ball. The amount of times I thought, here we go, we can create something here - 5 seconds later - having created nothing, we were facing a counter attack. Then Wolves would get the ball in similar areas, get the ball out of their feet and whip it in. Why can't we do that? It's not complicated.
The problem with inverted wingers is they have to check back onto their stronger foot. I understand the principle of playing inverted wingers but oh how I wish we had & used orthodox wingers who cross the ball as they are running. The other problem is March seems to play better on the right although left footed , Knocky hates playing on the left despite being left footed , Ali J is a right winger but is always played on the left & Izzy has only ever really been used on the left despite being right footed. Even Locadia seems right footed and yet gets played on the left..... so annoying.
How about we sign some left footed wingers who play left sided & right footed ones who play right sided just for a change or is that too old fashioned like me ?

Glad it’s not just me that see’s this! It’s almost like we’re thinking Andone isn’t great at holding the ball up so let’s give him some practice!
I'd go for that
