ChipBarrington 315 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I think stick with Ayala. He runs out of defence too hastily but he needs sharpness and Chambers cant play against ***nal. Id even be tempted to put Chambers RB if fit. Link to post Share on other sites

2plus2 290 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 4-4-2 did leave us too open. 4-3-3 we were toothless. 4-2-3-1 didn't quite work for us early doors. So let's try something different. Let's: (a) make sure Prowler doesn't read this message, and (b) go with a wing back system, albeit playing make-shift wing-backs (5-2-3 / 3-4-3) Given current injuries... Valdes Bernado Ayala Gibson Traore Clayton De Roon Downing Ramirez/Fischer Stuani Gestede/Bamford It ain't gunna happen. But I am definitely gunna harp on about it until we try it, win with it and until the inevitable day that Gibson makes the outstanding decision to appoint me as manager for next season.

Neither Traore or Downing are cut out to be wing backs though. Adama T doesn't have the defensive nouse or sense of positioning. And Downing doesn't appear to have the legs to get up and down the wing. Fabio could probably do it. But not on both wings at once. While barred from playing. Link to post Share on other sites

And Downing doesn't appear to have the legs to get up and down the wing. Fabio could probably do it. But not on both wings at once. While barred from playing. Honestly, I completely agree. Fabio would definitely be the best wing-back option we have. Downing v questionnable. And Traore could leave us open. But I'd still like to see it. Nothing else seems to work. And long-term I think it has huge merits. As I mentioned on another thread, I'd like us to create a strategic identity. We're constantly chopping and changing between systems when things go wrong. And, to some degree, this is the modern formation. Solid and offensive, when executed correctly. Not saying I think we'd be able to execute it correctly straight away, or even close to that given some question marks over certain members of our squad to play it. But it's just something I sort of like the look of, to be frank. And it would be nice to see us adopt a system that we intend to play in the Championship and hopefully the PL again soon enough - rather then get promoted and amend everything that we managed so well prior to promotion. Continuity is a real weapon imo. Link to post Share on other sites

ChipBarrington 315 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Not sure Gibson Ayala and Espinosa work as a back 3. You need players who are comfortable stepping forward wth the ball and also who are able to slot into lb and rb. Didnt we play 3 at the back under Mowbray with Bates Williams and McManus and it worked until they started to get injured? Bailey mopping up in front and quickly passing it to the flanks. Seems an age ago! Link to post Share on other sites

Some say his father was German. Nobody ever believed he was real. Nobody ever knew him or saw anybody that ever worked directly for him. But to hear Kobayashi tell it, anybody could have worked for Soze. You never knew; that was his power. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
