Hate to say it think the managers time is up lol. Why oh why are we selling/ loaning good players. We have learned nothing from the last season we need to play 4-4-2 against teams who sit really deep with 11 men behind the ball especially when they have no pace to counter attack against us. He had £8 million worth of strikers on the bench. Helander is just too slow and will struggle at times even though he is a good reader of the game. And playing 2 holding midfielders in Jack and kamara is not necessary when they play so negative. I would have Greg docherty in front of kamara all day long.

He will see the season out, can't see him being removed. Just got to hope he switches up tactics and players.

Don't think 442 is the fix.

I would go 352 instead of 442 as a 442 would maybe stifle barasic and (Tav) getting forward as much as they do.

I’d go 352 also Good all round formation

High defence line - pressing opposition and wingbacks support the attack

And the benefit of having two up top instead of 1 or And possibly having the attacking midfielder in the middle could push up to give the 3 up front

The formation allows to press the opposition that we usually do anyway but right now Morelos up too on his own and comes back to midfield to pick the ball up which is hopeless as wee seen on Sunday

Maybe I’m talking rubbish and I should stick to playing fifa 😂😂😂🤣.

Who are we selling/ loaning? that's going to improve 1st 11?

Creative midfielder who can split a defence open one way or another

God knows who though

Will wait and see who we manage to get in.

I blame this Football Manager game. Everybody seems to be an expert on tactics now. If SG chucks it we will be in good hands with all the experts on here.

Totally agree Jaws, I can't believe the reaction on here since Sunday, thank God we're not Barcelona.

Jaws couldn't agree more. 1 Draw at a notoriously hard away fixture and people want the manager gone haha. Laughable 'support'. I was as disappointed on sunday as anyone but surely when you take a step back you move on and look to the next game. New signings need to bed in, however i do agree we can't be giving them 20 mins here and there and expecting them to change our fortunes.

Don’t need to play footballs manager to know that 4 3 3 is not working same tactics every game and same tactics that has not won us any trophies when are we going to learn it needs to change.

I said two year ago that 433 is not working and that we should be playing two up top. 👍.

Coldo, you still need to get the ball to your 2 up top. are you really saying start playing the long ball over the top?


13.) 18 Aug 2020

we pass to them to hold it up, we cross it in to them or we go long to them in behind. Geesa don't you know how to play football? Trying to play it through a back 10 to one ST hasn't been working for a few year now🙈👍.

Exactly Coldo. It doesn't need to be pretty, just effective.
Against Livi before Itten came on we put a few decent crosses in but the 2 Livi CDs were all over it. Tav put a good cross into the box into an area where a second striker should have been either waiting or running into.
As it is we are not getting the ball into dangerous enough areas when teams play the low blow because we are too slow and our pass and movement in the Livi game was awful.
Best way to get the ball into the danger area is either long ball or in from the wings and then if need be be first to the second ball.

Spot on JC, its not rocket science. 👍.

Surely the way to get through a back 10 would be to play through it? 🤔
Is 2 strikers better than 3 forwards? 🤔
Morelos holds the ball up and harasses CB as good as anyone
We didn't play well enough against livi, it wasn't because we were playing 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, or even your answer to everything 4-4-2 coldo! 😉.

we played over 20 minutes against livi with a 442 and played worse in my eyes.

18 Aug 2020 17:21:38
But we couldn't play through them on Sunday mrgrumpy so surely we should have went over them or at least set up and tried to. No point continuing to do something that isn't working as I think we can all agree we could see after 20 mins what was happening.

Kent, Morelos, hagi didn't turn up.
I think it was more poor individual performances that was to blame.

I agree re poor individual performance I’d also add arfield kamara jack to your three.
