beloved_aunt Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 4 minutes ago, gurujuan said: Well yes' but at the moment, Wallace and Forestieri play wide, and they are by far our most creative players Where would they fit in such a system Play 3-4-1-2 with either Abdi or Forestieri in the hole behind Fletcher and Hooper. Bannan and Lee both in Central Midfield behind them. Sex on legs is that formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 So using our existing players, I know we will be bringing others in, but as of now, they are unknown, we could line up like this Westwood Hutchinson Lees Loovens Hunt Lee Abdi Bannan Reach Forestieri Hooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Arnold Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 CB We have loovens and lees so I'd say we would need a minimum of two as hutch could fill it at a push Wing backs we have Reach, pudil and fox on the left which is enough Right we have hunt and Palmer so another is required For CM we have Lee, Hutchinson, Bannan, Jones, Abdi. So possibly one more needed FF, Rhodes, Fletcher and Hooper up top so enough there So to me if we were to play this way we would need 2/3 CB 1 RB 1 CM Anything else would be a bonus.

billyblack Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I would love us to play 352. To do this we need two new CB's, maybe 3. I wouldnt play Hutch at CB. Too much of a red card liability. I would have kept sasso to reduce our CB requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 It still makes lavishing £10m on Rhodes seem just as crazy, with only a bit part role envisaged in this system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres no sign that he is capable of leading the line He did it on the odd occasion last season, but although he put in the effort, he was hardly a success We certainly didn't need to pay that sort of money for someone to lead the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch could drop to cb then sign Ayala and Hanley or similar. Williams or Irvine or both signed for CM. I'm unsure who I would have to challenge hunt at RB. I don't think it would suit Palmer.

We just need to play to suit him or he needs to adapt. Either way you dont become a bad player overnight. He will come good but a change of style needs to be implemented.

Sonny Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Excellent news, if true, which it probably isn't. Solves a lot of problems with some good recruitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kendoddsdadsdogsdead Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 We don't play with wingers and our full backs are not very good. Ditch the winger idea, and just go for it -: Westwood Hutch Lees Loovens Lee Abdi Mattias Hooper FF Rhodes Winnall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
