Rousseau 10,602 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 We've started the season with a 4-2-3-1, and I don't see that changing. Roofe will come into the wider position or in behind, with Itten up top, They're not wingers anyway, they play narrow. The width comes from our FBs, Barisic and Tavernear. I much prefer Kamara and Jack. Davis has been a wonderful player, but his body is not responding, IMO. He's certainly more capable of playing a forward pass than Kamara. However, it's been Jack that has been tasked with playing the forward pass, but he's not done it, despite being capable, like Davis. For me, the issue was the forwards being unavailable for the pass, not so much Kamara and Jack. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malangsob 1,264 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Looks like Stevie finally hit the 'Testicle Extend' button...starting Barker today...no Fredo...No Hagi...seems a definite tactical change. Is it attacking? 4-4-2? Me hopes. Either way it smells like something new. Damn the torpedoes! Win or lose...Take it to these pricks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CammyF 8,079 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 After SGs interview don't think there is any doubt why Alfredo is not in team / squad today. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, no doubt in my mind he was hinting at Morelos attitude when saying Itten & Roofe want to be here and part of the future 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play 4-2-3-1, and you (incorrectly) suggest we're playing 4-4-2. Brilliant. A) we play with JacKamara and thus, 4 (defenders) - 2 (JacKamara) - 3 (inside left & right plus one through the middle) and 1 striker. Whether the players take up other positions like our fullbacks, does not matter. If you maintain they do, then our line up would be 2-7-1 or whatever. B) as Roofe and Itten are strikers, it is only natural to say it looks like a 4-4-2 with kent and Barker playing on the wings. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rousseau 10,602 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I think Itten is playing in the wider role, a bit like Mandzukic used to do in Bayern's 4-2-3-1. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
