Django Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I think we’ll be seeing an organised side that tries to get the ball out wide at every opportunity. Hoping Reach stays out on the left and Harris on the right 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to get crosses in would be good to have Bannan on the left. Reach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieman Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Attack as a unit, in numbers; with a solid back four/five behind you that doesn't put the fear of god into you, every time the opposition attacks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 TP hasnt really ever solved the goalscoring side of the game. He will be organised and defensive like Monk was trying to do. He can definitely help on set plays though - we have been awful on attacking set plays without Fletcher and Nuhiu. We need to find 20 odd goals from set plays for rest of this season, and somehow find a goal a game from open play, and pray the defenders and goalkeepers cut out silly mistakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I think shifting to a back 4 with a 4231/433 formation may allow more bodies in the box? 3-5-2 got a few clean sheets but it has still looked brittle at times and our wing backs haven’t been able to deliver confidently. In that formation they become integral to everything whereas 4 at the back and wide midfielders changes the dynamic a bit. Not convinced Rhodes will make a huge difference unless we stick with the current approach of 2 up front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I think Fletcher or even Nuhiu would benefit under Pulis...I honestly don't see what Rhodes will bring...Is it a lack of crosses or a lack of movement? I'm not convinced...We keep hoping, but the reality of the situation would speak to the fact it can't always be "Someone elses fault" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the only question that matters until January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feed the Rhodes and he will score and Pulis knows this. I vote for taking out the opposition S A S style. That would at least give us a possibility of scoring at least one goal. Maybe!
