I’d certainly like to see Borner getting stuck in at the back and coming up their end when there’s a set piece. Would expect him to get on plenty of balls with a firm head.

Samurai Blue Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 After checking out Fulham's rearguard, I reckon our lads may have to get creative to circumnavigate an assertive Ream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch McLovin Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 11 hours ago, frastheowl said: In Luongo and Lee we have two players have the energy and desire to get themselves into the box to effect things. However, if we continue with a midfield three of Hutch, Bannan and Reach, we'll struggle to get numbers in the box. It isn't Hutch's role to, Bannan doesn't get himself into the box, preferring to linger outside the box to pick up loose balls, and Reach seems to be reluctant to get himself into those goalscoring positions in the box often enough. It's a real concern for Reach playing that No. 10 role. No doubting he offers a lot of positives in there ..he works hard, he always tidy on the ball and he's solid and reliable. But, in a side lacking creativity and invention, we suffer, because Reach doesn't seem to be able to bring that to his central role. Too often he seems to get stuck in a middle ground, neither effectively close enough to link up with Fletcher, yet disconnected from the double pivot in midfield. Good No. 10's do it naturally. Unfortunately, we just don't have a natural No. 10 in our squad, which is why a 4-2-3-1 system will continue to yield stodgy, disjointed offensive play, however, we'll maintain a good degree of solidity and structure defensively. I think Monk, if he's going to stick with a back four (a constant during his managerial career), may have to choose between a more standard 4-3-3 with a single DM and two more adventurous midfielders (I'd love to see Bannan play that role, however, he naturally seems to prefer playing deeper) like he adopted at Swansea, or a more structured 4-4-2 like he played at Leeds and Birmingham. Can teams nowadays afford to play 4-4-2 with two out and out wingers? More often than not, wide mdifelders are asked to tuck inside to provide more central cover and allow space for full backs to exploit (Carvalhal's 4-4-2 was a prime example of that, with Bannan and Wallace as wide midfielders). We do he's just suspended for 6 games for being found innocent in court !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I'm happy if we manage to flood the box once each game. I don't think I can take too much excitement at my age. It's the games where we try to flood the box and fail miserably that concern me. Is it lack of desire or lack of ability by one or more players.

owlZfan84 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 If we flood the box against Fulham, they will murder us on the counter. No chance we'll be adopting that style on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some players need to stand erect at the edge of the box, then the rest of the team have more chance of being able to thrust it in for them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
