Is that not 1 of the issues, Trollope went down with Luton, What in real terms does Lallana bring, wasn't Martin promoted up from within the youth teams . Not sure on analyst, unless he's the one posters memtion he was at Barclays

Look where data has gotten Sheff Utd

Rafa is looking to get back onto a job in England......... Im sure he'd work well with SR

Funny thing or worrying thing Will said in his presser, of course he's not lumping it upto Archer but for a weird 10mins 45-55 we literally banged everything into Downs ignoring any central runs and immediately put the ball out wide. Now I know Downs isn't Archer but wtf, Downs is far worse than Archer and also not likely to win a header, not really down to his height but he's seems to have no idea about positioning and when to make your run, he is one of the worst strikers I've seen here

We are literally looking at crossing everytime purposely ignoring central runs to get it out wide, would work if we had Ron Davies up front not with these weak c***s

Yeah but he had a good game in pre season and people on here are convinced he's improved

Doesn't seem to be much positive movement anywhere full stop

Every time I see his name it takes me back to the 90s and Carsten Jancker, the exact sort of striker we could do with now with these tactics

Don't forget Will actually said he didn't have a style..... at least he's honest

I need to apologise as I've said on here and stuck up for THB saying he will become a top player.... he wont, another like Downes who is part of our past problem. He's generally always out of position and seems to moan at everyone else like a younger Bednarek. It's saying something when Stephens is your 1st choice cb. There effort that hit the bar was because of THB trying a sliced clearance under no pressure whilst Baz could just pick it up, now is this him being rash like we've often seen or him not trusting Baz or because Baz isn't vocal or dominant enough, we really did literally need a huge clearout to get this negative mentality out of the club, nothing changes with spine of Baz Stephens THB and Downes

Too slow moving the ball, Downes constantly giving ball away and back to slowly knocking it around the back allowing them back into shape

Downes is fucking wank

Yes its sounds bonkers but after listening to which i think is an old DOF on the radii they said the growing trend is the owners wanting to dictate the play, almost like its my club i can do what I want, granted its mainly overseas but this was openly reason Marinakis got rid of Nuno. Looking into it, Still hasn't played 5atb before, and before people say because he has no wingers well he has, maybe not productive ones but he's had the option, this also would of allowed us forming a settled back 4. Mad Nate alluded to interference, Juric did play a 5 before so was that why he was bought in, Rusk continued with Juric's shit formation where we gave up midfied exactly like Utd do. Rusk had a perfect short term position where he could've tried something different, a no loss situation for him. Also the rumour/qoute that Rasmus mentioned about the data analysts said this system will get you the most points or something like that. Hopefully all above is bollocks and we go back to a 4,

Depends what upstairs want him to play

It will be 5atb

Im going for 4th, losing in play off final

He'll start 5atb unfortunately

He should've gone to Utd

Yeah he's ceo of London city lionesses that have just been promoted to wsl

So if he's true to what he's said now we have 2 wingers the 5atb will be happily put in the bin , obviously if Rasmus allows that

But if he had saved the watford 2nd and iirc stoke 2nd we'd have 3 more points, ifs buts maybe

I dont really understand what you mean? There are effectively 5 spots for mf in a 4231 not just 3 like you mentioned, Azaz would probably play the 10 with Fraser/Robinson and Fellows/AA either side. Then Charles/Downes or Jander in the 2 cdm roles although only 1 will have to sit, then back 4 of Mads/THB/Quarshie/Taylor (Quarshie only there for pace as quite a slow backline)

Pompey already out

It would be nice to add Brownhill to that midfield

At least he's FLEXIBLE
