Rousseau 11,977 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 3-5-2 doesn't fit with the players at our disposal, IMO. The wing-back is a specialist position: you can't just put wingers in there. Tavernier and John would need to play there and then we're without our best players, in Candeias, Windass and Murphy. Fod Martin - Bates - Cardoso Tavernier - Docherty - Goss - Holt - John Cummings - Morelos* (* without injured players) I agree with the need for more in the middle, but I think 4-4-2 (Diamond) fits better. It means overloading the middle, Windass -- one of our best players, no matter what anyone says -- and two up top. However, you lose the wingers (Murphy and Candeias) too -- just like the 3-5-2. Fod Tavernier - Bates - Martin - John Goss Docherty - Holt Windass Cummings - Morelos* (* without injured players) I still think 4-2-3-1 is our best basic formation, but we need to use it better. We just need to tweak it in some games to be more compact. Bring on Docherty for WIndass in the bigger games (or Windass up front alongside Morelos), into the No.10 role but play more a 4-3-3 to get the three in the middle. Fod Tavernier - Martin - Bates - John Docherty - Goss - Holt Candeias - Murphy Morelos For me -- although it certainly was an issue -- it was more to do with the ineffective screening of Holt and Goss, rather than the fact we had two in there; they were too disjointed, playing miles away from each other. WIndass could've done better too, to mark midfielders instead of defenders -- that switch is down to Murty not Windass. Teams like Athletico, and Leipzig do very well with a 4-4-2 in leagues that predominantly use either 4-3-3 or 3-5-2. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea whether Murty will be good or not but I will also not judge him on a handful of games where most of his first pick are out injured Expand Again, referring to the likes of Smith (one of our best managers) and Fergie (one of the best of all time) just makes you look daft. Murty has lost to various woeful teams in a short space of time and just isn't up to the task at all. I've been right with all of our recent managers and I'm right again here. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keeper is just counted as one player - it's just the keeper is usually the last man. If any part of him that can play the ball is closer actually. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I proved you wrong, If anything it is you who looks stupid. I actually wonder If you are actually a Rangers supporter or hater to be honest as you seem to be negative to everything I prefer it when we win and sbs is nowhere to be seen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very marginal but you can understand offside being given. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RANGERRAB 4,116 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 There are two Hibz defenders next to Morelos. The one nearest his own goal(the one partially hidden) is playing Morelos onside. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
