If teams come at us.....they will get goals....Plan A.....isnae workin the noo....but when we are back to strength....Kyoko.....we will get that extra goal...we need to win a game.....Plan B....we have to make Plan A work better.......
Most teams in world with huge disparity of resources can play balanced style and win
This constant need to have 5 guys on their back line is just no football imo
And it doesnt create the space to play football
And it leaves the defence vulnerable since we are usually out of position and already breathless when a pass goes wonky and when ball arrives in 6 yard box its no very accurate or even that dangerous with 1 wee guy trying to get free
if your playing 2 wingers imo you need at least 2 central mids who are behind ball at all times moving forward with ball line to help control the possesion outside their box when best pass insnt on
in this country a solid 442
no attacking mids but 2 actual mids and two wingers who can make it 424 at times would be more solid than our system even 4411 would be much more solid and at least as attacking if the acm knows he is the only one with freedom to be in front of ball looking for space
now im probably wrong but thats how i see it
i cant understand any formation that sacrifices the spine of team and its creative engine in the middle of park
especially if you have better more talented players
wee strikers dont often get on end of winger crosses
so i would bin anyone who is midfield who cant operate behind the ball
i dont care if you can dribble in midfield i prefer good passing aware physically strong players in centre of park over acm
but thats just me
on occasion having ability to play ultra wide might be good switch but not every minute of every single game
i dont think its a coincidence that all the excessive running (fruitless mostly) sees injuries more likely coz they are knackered and when your knackered not only is it hard to catch your breath you cant concentrate properly or evade boots so easy as well as twanging bits of body
i dredd to see how most of our new guys cope when actual shite weather comes for months
