    Heard a few people mention where he fits in to a 3-5-2 now and he could comfortably play either as a partner in a 2 up top with Eddy, or as the most forward player out of the middle 3..

    I like the idea of the furthest forward of the three in the middle particularly in games at home where we dominate the ball. You could easily have McGregor as anchor, Christie box to box and Ely as CAM.

    He gives us options, which is great, not a one trick pony, especially during a game.

    Imo he would be best suited wide left but with the licence to come inside. I thought he linked really well with Eddie and McGregor. If he's wide it would let Christie be in the central area we're imo he plays his best stuff. It also means that if you wanted to change things that Christie or Moi could go up front if Griff or Eddie weren't doing it. The one thing for sure is that Moi is a intelligent player and can play anywhere between the midfield or forward line

    We just not gonna defend on that side if we put him there then? In that formation with how we play we need a tracking back defender too

    If we play with a 352 you have all 3 defenders sitting with Brown and McGregor also in position. It leaves 5 players in attacking positions to cover. When MON played his 352 we had the likes of Thomson wide left, hardly a defensive player

    Good point, I just don’t think I’ve seen Lennon do that kind of formation with that kind of winger successfully. But hopefully that’ll be the case! I’d imagine brown is the one who always drops back. Surely we have to be getting in a LCB who has enough pace about him to kind of drop into a LB position in a 4 at times then for that to work well.

    See I've always thought that having 4 at the back plus 2 holding players was far too defensive in Scottish games. Rodgers formation was far too rigid and although he had plenty success we took some heaving doings in Europe due to it imo. We never seemed to have a good outball and players far enough forward to capatalise when we did. Lenny looks like this time round is changing formation dependant on games and or opposition. In his first spell he tended to only make changes in a like for like player but this time he seems to be a bit more open to formation changes. Hopefully we use the 352 as much as possible because it's far more attacking and we Defo are a far more entertaining side to watch. Look around the leagues in Europe and less teams are using this system now. Like lost formations the come in cycles and 4231 is probably on its way out

    Meant to add that 100% about the LCB, I had posted that earlier that Ajer having to play there all the time is very unfair on a player that's a right footed player. Also the fact he's our best passer out from the back is a disadvantage. The problem is there's no other player at the club that's capable of playing there not even in the reserve/development squad

    Yeah I agree, there’s no one coming through at all really, all our good young defenders seem to be right sided. Even that hjelde we signed is more a RCB/RB
