Preferably Sakala and Roofe. Gio is known to play 4-3-3 but with 2 "real" wingers. As for reverting to 3 at the back, we are struggling to find 2 decent centre halves, nevermind 3...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onevision 1,571 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 First goal McGregor has to come off his line and clear by either catching or punching, when he doesn't he has to at least come off line and block the shot. Second Tavernier has to step up and play Boyle offside or at least make a better effort blocking his shot. Third Davis makes a stupid challenge and it was a penalty. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true too. I've been saying it all season. Gerrard out? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preferably Sakala and Roofe. I hate to break it to you, but GvB's preferred formations are 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1. It's one of the reasons he was signed. I believe he tinkered with a back-three towards the end of his Feyenoord spell, though. And, I think he played a back-three with the Chinese side at times. I think it depends what he's learnt from Pep. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was at 2-0 and another looping cross came in to the box, but it landed inside the 6 yard line and there was a bit of a stramash which we got away with. McGregor could have taken a step off his line and done something, anything to clear it. It might even have hit off him if he'd just come off his line but he didn't bother and we were lucky to get away with it. I don't know if its a confidence thing or not, but he needs dropped. And I know I'm old fashioned, but the amount of rotating we did this season with him and McLaughlin seemed nuts given the sort of goals we were conceding. We got away with it last season but I've no idea why Gerrard did it this season. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,294 Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Sakala scored 4 for Zambia during the international break, so is 'on form'. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
