Rousseau 10,664 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I'd like to see McCrorie get a few games with Alves. I think we've missed Alves' leadership, and his forward passes. Just because we go with two forwards -- Herrera and Morelos, as has been suggested -- doesn't mean we're more likely to score goals. IMO, we have a better balance when we play a 4-2-3-1, with Pena pushing forward. Marking a static forward in Herrera is easier than the continually-in-motion Pena. We'll certainly need the defensive stability too. Jack is a huge loss. Holt can do a job, but I do fear Saints' physicality. I'd like to see Barjonas get some game-time too -- can he come in for Jack, or is he more offensive? It perhaps doesn't solve the physical deficiency, though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of trying to pass our way through we'd have also (sic!) someone we can aim longer balls too and who can lay these balls of to the three man behind or next to him. And, BTW; having two strikers usually guarantees more trouble for the opposition than having but one. Anyway, I guess PC has his Plan A by which he'll start and makes changes accordingly. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
