It is modern, encourages possession based football and very flexible if you know how to play it. First signs seem to be very encouraging. We’ve got a midfield that struggles to put two passes together and is about as mobile and athletic as Gemma Collins. Modern and flexible isn’t for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evaowl Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Carlos started with 4-2-3-1 then ditched it once FF came and went 4-4-2 and results improved. Funnily enough the players we have might be better suited to 4-2-3-1, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FoxOwl12 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Don't know why we bothered employing Moore. You can run the football side on Owlstalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Supposedly Moore likes his DM’s to be good ball players. They have a young lad at Doncaster called Smith who is on loan from Man City that has some very similar qualities. Something that’s exciting is it we do play full backs they’ll be allowed to go forwards. Monk and Pulis both restricted the full backs from joining attacks, you’d have to go back to Steve Bruce the last time we saw our full backs being encouraged to overlap. It’s needed in the modern game as just getting it out wide to a winger and expecting them to beat 2 players just isn’t going to work, you need to create overloads out wide and allowing the full backs to go forward does this.

Happy to be proved wrong. It worked a very long time ago when he was at Huddersfield. They played a 4-3-3, but their wide forwards were tough strong and got down both the channels and in the box. They dragged cbs out wide. This is what created space for Rhodes to exploit or lose his marker. It also meant he wasn't playing as a lone centreforward. It may work for us if our wide men are green, Kachunga or green, but reach and Harris couldn't and don't play that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were all over Pulis for doing that exact same thing. We don't have a left back, we don't have anyone who can play up front as a single striker. Didn't we have this same discussion about two months ago? Lucky not to be 2-0 down already,playing out from the back not working,just wasting time....get it forward,and get crosses into the box and we will score...

Guest Bulgaria Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I don't think we are playing that bad to be honest. Definitely a goal or two in it for us. Trouble is, there's two or three in it for Rotherham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincowl Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 We only have one fullback, a flat back four can’t work for us. Odubajo was the same, only worth playing further forward as a wingback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonedavidhirst Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 4-2-3-1 is a very modern way of playing and a lot of top teams have used it. Chelsea, Man City and Arsenal for instance have all had success with it. Wednesdays issue is they haven’t got the players to play it, albeit I’m not convinced that there is a system to suit this squad. Luton 1st half suggested we suit 3-4-1-2 but the 2nd half suggested otherwise. In a 4-2-3-1 we really don’t have anyone other than Shaw, in my opinion, to play in the 2 DMs and Shaw had a good 1st half tonight but struggled at times in the 2nd. We don’t have decent full backs, I’m not sure if there’s one at the club who is Championship standard. We don’t have an out and out striker capable of playing alone up front and for me we don’t have the wide players capable of supporting a lone striker. If we go down, as I expect and Moore stops, I really hope he has a big say in who we bring into the club for next season because otherwise we are going to be signing more square pegs for round holes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
