Hans Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 With Wisdom and Forsyth we had a good balance between attack and defence, with a Christie we have a fullback that is more attacking minded, will this cause problems with our defence or is the best defence attack?

Presumably, he'll be playing according to instructions from McClaren and the rest. Presumably, they believe he is capable of doing what they ask, otherwise they wouldn't have signed him. Do I presume too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randombc Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Could play a similar system to Argentina that whenever the full backs are attacking the defensive midfielder drops into the defence to form a temporary line of 3 incase they lose the ball, then it's up to them to bust a gut to get back and help out!

catinthehat Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 We will probably concede even more goals. But we will equally score more goals. So it's swings and roundabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smalley Ram Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 It's unusual to be attacking from deep down both flanks at the same time particularly as we're allowed only one ball. Defensive Mid needs to be aware of where his team mates are at times (more so than any other player) and respond accordingly. Plus Central Defenders especially the captain should be holding the non attacking full back in defence if danger is likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work with a player like Tejeda, so as to cut out a counter attack while the full-backs return to position. However, if we sign Thorne it might not work as effectively due to him being so pivotal to a lot of our attacking moves. The only possible solution is for the full-backs to be disciplined so when one bombs forward, the other tracks back and maintains his defensive duties.

Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 brazil had two attacking full backs and they got all the way to the semi final of the world cup!! To be fair raw emotion, poor officiating, spawn and bottle from the smaller nations got them to the SF. Once they played a major force they got found out.

That system works because Zabaleta is a different class of full-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
