That's the third time we've been Tynecastle this season and the third time we've played terribly, with nothing having really changed, in terms of how we set up. You could argue each performance there has been worse than the last. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Yesterday there were spells where we had no shape whatsoever. And I'm a person that rarely notices that sort of thing. Gerrard said we were at 'sixes and sevens', in his post match interview and he was spot on. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGaryValentine 85 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share Posted March 1, 2020 just to use wednesday against hamilton as an example. what is wrong with trying something different? realistically we have nothing to lose. why not try a 3-5-2 or a 4-4-2. just try something different. a good manager will be able to make changes when needed. mcgregor katic, goldson, edmundon tavernier, kamara, davis, aribo, barisic kamberi, hagi have goldson sweeping and have morelos & kent on the bench if it isn’t working. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” the above could be true of continuing with 4-3-3 against the teams who want to just defend for 90 mins and aim for a 0-0 draw. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is difficult when the team plays twice a week. You need to spend time in training to get it right. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can play it but will it be a step forward or a step back? You would probably see a lot of other mistakes made if you changed the formation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,378 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Formations???? the only ones IMO who have to keep their shape throughout are the back four,the rest are "footballers?" who should be able to react to situations. Maybe I am regressing to when football was a simple game and coaches/managers did not need pen and paper nor tactic sheets. Imagine telling players like Baxter,Cooper ,Laudrop etc. how to play from sheets?. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays it’s all about tactics, gameplans & formations & having the right players for them. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
