I doubt it will be effective often enough. if we want 2 up against lesser sides, then can ff, reach, and bannan play in the same team? or are there too many lightweights?

If he is fit he should be starting hands down. Although cardiff away may call for the same formation as today but if that formations 4-4-2 he should be starting upfront. Why? Hes awful in a front 2. Tried and failed. We have won 2 of his last 16 starts. Weve lost 2 of our 3 games playing 442 this season. But you would change things round to make room straightaway?

dorian gray Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 20 minutes ago, Holmowl said: Monk will have his own ideas but hopefully he will be battling with Reach and Harris for one of the wide spots in a 433. Reach has a goal and two assists in our last 3 games. Harris has been one of our best players. I expect FF will come on as sub for one of these v Cardiff or Stoke. Then hopefully his head is on properly and he tries hard to win and keep one of them out of the side. we don't really need to drop our better performers. sit him down and ask him where he see's himself playing to be most effective. matt busby gave george best no job to do in the united side, he was free to roam and do damage, maybe ff should have that role. but if so it would be looking rough for reach as a 'floating' ff with harris an fletcher in attack would leave us short of numbers in defensive m/f, and short in numbers would need quality to make up for it. thus bannan, reach, ff and harris in the same side? I guess reach will make way for monk to see ff play, by next season i'd have moved bannan up to solely attacking m/f, and let reach and ff go.

Guest The Horse Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I'm as big a fan of Fernando as you can get but he needs to earn his place. Him being available now should give Reach and Harris the incentive to keep their performance levels at their highest. A headache for Monk, albeit a welcome one and a real migraine for the oppostion managers to contend with when we have such options to throw at them. Personally, I can't wait for him to be back. Players like him are why I love football: flair, passion, energy and gets everyone on the edge of the seat when he sets off on one. He's been nusring injuries for way too long but has shook them off now and should be raring to go. Exciting times - competition for places and well placed despite not firing on all cylinders yet. Bring it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair the two games we have lost playing 4-4-2 have both been without Fletcher playing. If we had started any of the games where we have played 4-3-3 with Nuhiu or Winnall in the central position instead of Fletcher then our record with that formation might not be too clever either. We clinched the result at Huddersfield when we went to 4-4-2 with Fletcher & Winnall as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Wonderful news and to have done so well with him missing, has been a bonus. We should be top by Christmas. A fully firing Nando is a joy to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he can't just walk back in. He hasn't done anything of note for us now since 2017, barring a wonder goal at Norwich. He needs to earn his spot, same as anyone else. The question is; does he have the ability and desire any more? I'm not too sure he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 We’ve got Rhodes’ and Winnall’s goals to add to the mix too when they’re back on top form. What a season ahead of us. Er, possibly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That formation today is a 4-5-1, no matter how anybody dresses it up. Fletch wins it & he's isolated. Needs support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Key to it, will be how well he links up with Fletcher. Previously he’s struggled when it comes to playing with Fletcher. He’s been better with Joao or Hooper, even Nuhiu. The main reason, he receives the ball quicker from those three. However, I feel Fletcher’s all round game is better now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Final year of contract so if he isn't motivated now he never will be. Who will take him next summer at 30 on any kind of decent wage with his track record last couple of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan™ Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Harris and Reach either side of Fletcher, with Forestieri just behind would be my preference. I agree with everyone that he shouldn't walk straight into the starting eleven, but I'd prefer to see him coming on to replace Harris/Reach rather than Murphy at the moment.

Jon Newsome Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Lets be honest, apart from Fletcher the forwards aren't really firing so having him back will be a big boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if he pulls his finger out ? Fernando Forrestieri owes us big time .. Our club have been loyal to him Time to put in some overtime .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
