Didnt realise that he went off with an injury Yeah, it was from when he went into a challenge with Henderson just before half time. Personally, I won't be too fussed if he's out for a little while, he could probably do with it. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hmmmm could well have played his last game for us then, that is a massive blow im not sure... Like I said in the other thread, 3 CBs in Stones Jags and Distin would be solid and quite attacking (by that I mean allowing us to go 352 and having 2 wide players) Plus, we wont miss Baines' set pieces if the last couple games have been anything to go by. Maybe Oviedo will get a run out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebittight Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Barry likely to fill in at left back. Losing Baines is a blow in itself but the knock on effect isn't great either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 It shows how far we have come as a team under RM... If this injury happened last year I think we would have melted down. The fact is Baines is less a vital component as he was under Moyes due to the less reliance on crossed ball into the box. Some may argue that should be a criticism of RM but I think it just shows that we have changed our style and whilst there aren't many better than Baines - which top teams build their strategy around a full back??? It's usually the number "10" - sat pulling the strings = ross barkley. (yes I know Gerry wears that number) Baines and Pienaar have been immense but lets be honest, teams focused on keeping them quiet in order to stop us. This now points to the fact that less reliance on Baines may mean that the £18-£20m we could get for a 29 year old is a sum that should not be sniffed at. Of course we will need to replace the lad wisely - i'm not sure if Oviedo is the answer or whether Garbutt can be ready soon. But these are decisions I will trust RM to get right.

markjazzbassist Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 said to see baines go like this, last game is a derby and injured, but alas i think they club will be better off if he heads to manchester. i'll be interested to see if we transform to the 352 that roberto would like to play, or if he'll use oviedo or recall garbutt.

Lowensda Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I think he'll try to implement the 3-5-2. He seems to trust Stones and I'll think he'll look at bringing Alcaraz into the fray. markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about getting Stones in there. ----------------Lukaku------------------- -------Mirallas ----- Duelofeu--------- Barry McCarthy Barkley Coleman -------Distin Jagielka Stones-------- ----------------Howard------------------ Just got to make one point in defence of Baines, we scored from one of his set pieces on Saturday and he is still scores more free kicks than most in the prem.

Shukes Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Do we really think we'll get 18 to 20 million for him? Not even man u are that dumb to pay that for a 29 year old full back. Realistically I would be happy with 16! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Id tweak that a little mate: ..................Lukaku............... Mirallas Pienaar Barkley Deul .............Barry McCarthy ....... ......Distin ... Jags ... Stones.. .................T-How ................. Coleman can come in for one of the AMs and change to our 4231, push Stones inside for CDR, but honestly I think we could get away with a formation like this. Stoke especially, as I expect them to close us down and park the bus, so let them do it whilst we keep possession in their half with 6-7 players pushing forward. Baines might have helped in 1 set piece but in general lately his crossing has been poor, at least by his standards. I'll say it again though, I hope he stays and sees out his career with us, but as Haf quite rightly points out; we are no longer dependent on him and 16-20m for him now, compared to 6 months ago, is very interesting (sadly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWooney Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 that looks a ludicrously attacking formation and somewhat suicidal. All a team needs to do is attack down the wings and were screwed! 3-5-2 really isn't 3-5-2 normally it's more like 3-2-3-2 howard stones jagielka distin Coleman Barry McCarthy Barkley Duelefou Mirallas Piennar Lukaku is more how I would see it implemented, Barkley playing alongside McCarthy but a bit ahead of him with more or a license to roam forward while McCarthy would have to be disciplined staying in the middle.

Nah, but definitely better than trying to play 12 players it is attacking but think about it: Barry staying back is effectively another CD and between McCarthy and Barkley doing box to box (one as AMC, one as DMC), we have full coverage in the middle.

FairWooney Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 oops! I had counted them but obviously forgot howard! hmmm I don't see Coleman getting dropped anyway, as I say i think it would be both foolish and and unlikely to happen that we'd go with no left or right back.

Bryan didnt have the best game yesterday (wasnt bad either) but shouldnt lose out so quickly. I hope theres a little rotation going between the 2 over the holiday period, its the only fair way in my opinion. pete0, Lowensda and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
