Greggles Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 cant see it happening, mainly because our midfield is a lot stronger than attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 0-0-10 like someone sugested that way all these young strikers might get a goal lol 4-5-1 still but i do believe a 4-4-2 will b used in cup games and lower league fixtures, we need kill off the teams who should finish below us, so hopefully two up top, may give us a freedom to score (he says ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Lets fool everyone and go for 1-8-1 Should give us a strong midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nesta2003 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I never knew we was in for Pinner! How much did he cost Dave i've always rated him? Cheers for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I actually reckon he might be right... ish. We certainly wont go 4-3-3 with 3 out and out strikers which is what I believe the OP was suggesting but I think we may at times be playing with one main striker and then two wider strikers (probably Guaye, Silva, Vic, JV etc) when we are chasing a goal, or maybe in a cup match or two. To be honest I think at somepoint we will have to play like that just to keep all the bloody strikers we have happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 With the idea of dropping Gordon and DM being inconsistent, I was wondering how we could like up. Back 4 and keeper are pretty much nailed on, but wondering if we can change shape a bit further up Garner Gana Onana Iwobi Maupay DCL Or maybe a diamon with Gana a bit held back to only cover defence. Would maybe leave us a bit narrow and would be heavily reliant on the full backs providing the width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 I am very much against the idea of playing without width. I think a part of the problem we see with Gray and Gordon is that they are constantly too far inside and running into trouble. Let them get chalk on their boots, spread the pitch nice and wide and isolate the fullback. McNeil is more of a create a yard and whip a ball in type of player who is more likely to link up with the fullback so his width will come from that full back. His role should be looked at like a Pienaar / Baines combination with the full back. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having control over the centre of the field is also very important and with our wingers blowing cold rather than hot at the moment, I'm wondering if we look to play more narrow when attacking.

Sounds like something to consider, for sure - even if only to hear a commentator say "Garner Gana Onana".

I don't know if it would give us control. It would definitely make it very difficult to breakdown and therefore give us defensive control, but I am not sure what we would do on the ball. I just think we would end up turning the ball over so quickly because its very easy to defend against narrow teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted October 11, 2022 Report Share Posted October 11, 2022 I would like to see us play a 4-3-3 with a single pivot & 2 of the midfield more advanced. Iwobi & Garner look like they could suit this advanced role, possibly Mcneil as well. We have addressed the lack of industry in midfield nicely but I am hoping Frank starts tweaking the technical side of things. Onana/Gana Iwobi Garner/Mcneil Bit soon to rush Garner in but we can’t rely on Gana every minute of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c1982 Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 I wouldn’t mind seeing this when Patterson is back… Pickford Patterson Coady Tarkowski Mykolenko Gueye or Doucoure Garner Onana Iwobi Calvert-Lewin Maupay Gray/Gordon to come on vs tired legs. Even though each have got a couple of important goals I don’t think either offer a constant threat - both have been far too easy to defend against recently. We’re pretty solid now (although we do ride our luck!) but completely toothless. Patterson is a big miss as he improves in at both ends of the pitch in my opinion.

Problem is that makes us play so narrow and we just can’t string the passes together. The start of the season we looked threatening when we switched the play and stretched teams. Stick with the 4–3-3. Tweak the personnel to send the message that if you underperform, you’re out of the team. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our wide options are Gray, Gordon and McNeil - beyond throwing Mills or another from the academy, I’m stumped… definitely the next issue to address in the next 2 windows - a decent loan (to buy) in Jan would be a bonus.
