With Tav and Barisic available, we should have just one DM guarding Worrall and Katic, allowing the fullbacks to venture foward. This should be the general approach to our home games against these teams, no matter how you actually call the "system". Davis should be the main creative midfielder, doing the passing from the back to midfield. Kent and Candeias on either wing and then the choice between two strikers or one striker and an attacking midfielder. Nominally, I'd go with ...

 

McGregor

 

Tavernier - Worrall - Katic - Barisic

 

Candeias - Jack - Davis - Kent

 

Defoe - Morelos

 

... which would, in the event of us going forward, have up to 5 men in attacking midfield plus two strikers, while Worrall, Katic and Jack guard McGregor.

I would swap Jack for McCrorie and keep the diamond shape swapping Kent for Arfield and push Davis up to CAM keep Candeias on the right of the diamond

Barisic in.

 

Halliday out.

It’s the diamond again

Tav works best with Candeias and the latter would get a starting slot in nigh every game in my team, not least against the lesser lights. At Killie it did not work and one hopes Tav gets his act together today.

1-0. Tavernier from the penalty spot. 

 

I don't think anyone is getting points for that...

Kent released on the break, before laying it wide for Defoe. The ball is returned to Kent on the edge of the box; he wriggles free and shoots, but it's saved. Good strong striker.
