  1. This would be my midfield and im surprised that those 3 didnt start on Saturday. Having Downes in the squad would mean we have options, can always go 4231 and play both against teams that will probably attack us (top 6 teams) or attacking 433 when teams are more likely sit back playing for a draw or lucky breaks, meaning either Charles or Downes will drop to the bench.
  2. Been saying this for a very long time, got to go back to the 4231 formation and get 2 real Dm's in there, Smallbone isnt a cdm he's a box-box, Acm type. Charles is a DM get him playing there and get someone else in playing alongside him. As it stands we have no protective shield for the defence, same as last season, until we get that sorted out, we wont get back to the premiership anytime soon.
  3. so cb and dcm needs sorting but at least we are scoring some goals
  4. Good result but still we lack the DCM that we lacked last year and with Lavia pretty much going we really need to get one in, the 3 midfielders that started today are not DCM, get a decent one in and that will help our defence and save a goal or 2.
  5. if true at least its not a last minute thing like always, also he can take a look at some players before the season ends, i really hope Selles isnt involved in the coaching, let him bring his own team in.
  6. 4222 worked for the short time it was introduced over here but then it quickly got found out. Same went for Leipzig, worked wonders for them then teams started to suss it all out, it was Nagelsmann who then went against all that redbull were about and changed their system to a 3421, they started winning again, then all German clubs started to follow suit, after Nagelsmann left, Marsch tried going back to the 4222 and that basically got him sacked as they probably had the 2nd best squad but were a shambles, a bit like us really. They then went back to the 3421 formation and they started to click again. Teams should always play to the squads strengths, unfortunately we didnt, we probably should of setup with a 433/4231 a formation we were so used to under Poch and koeman and the press worked alot better under poch using that system than the press under Ralph imo.
  7. Shit coach, shit manager needs to go now
  8. Actually i can see the point in getting in someone who might influence a few players to stay. If the players know who the manager next season will be that might be a turning point to keep them here a little longer, you never know.
  9. Hes terrible, no thanks, we will have Tino back next season and Bree so we are good for RB's plus WBA passed on signing him when they were relegated, we need to avoid at all costs imo.
  10. Not selling Elyounoussi Didnt get a striker in preseason. Doing late business as always/getting in too many youngsters/overall poor recruitment Not replacing Romeu with an experienced player to play alongside Lavia Playing the shit 4222 formation (should use a formation that plays to our strengths, 4231 would be a far better formation) Playing Elyounoussi week after week. Replacing Ralph and getting in the clown Wasted a shit tonne of money in January on more shit Not giving Orsic a chance, a quality player much better than most if not all our wingers Replacing one clown for another Jwp as captain, sorry but he's partly to blame, plays backwards to often where he should be trying to get all the players to attack more and should lead by example. Continuing to play Elyounoussi A shit board that allowed all above to go ahead
  11. This is who i wanted, instead we got Jones. We dont need someone with premiership experience, we need someone who players can look up to and improve their game. Poch and Koeman had no prem experience, just what they have achieved as a player and was good enough for our players to give them a chance to help them improve and improve they did. If this guy took over instead of Jones, I'm pretty sure he would of got us playing a lot better and made better use of the WC break. SR needs to step up and do the right thing, not another "cheap" option.
  12. So they are now going for the bloke who they wanted to replace Ralph when things were not going our way but ended up at leeds after failing really badly at Leipzig, our board are a joke if this is even true let alone he gets appointed.
  13. id go with Bielsa, get him to work with what we probably will have next season when relegated, we have some good youngsters that he could work well with, them and i hope a few of our first teamers atm, he could work miracles. He knows the league well and does have prem experience, sort of what we need atm.
  14. no new CDM so gave it a 5. New striker is a plus, the new winger seems meh looking at his stats, Luton guy was horrific, not sure it will be enough to get us out of relegation. It all seemed very rushed and no thought behind the signings. Tall striker seems we will be hoofing it upfield once again which still wont work. Our defence is pretty bad and we really miss Romeu so we needed that Romeu type player to help protect the defence, you can get all the attacking players you like but it wont mean nothing if we are leaking goals at the other end. I still dont think Jones is the right man to get this team going, keeps insisting on the 3 at the back and we've lost before he realises its not working then tries it again the following week, he's a loon.
