uttoxram75 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Jake could play left back and centre back. At the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Some say Jake spent his time out injured finding a cure for Ebola and has managed to eradicate it from Africa (hence it no longer being reported in the news). I also hear he killed Jihadi John with a spinning round house kick to the throat. I wouldn't have believed these snippets if it wasn't for the fact Alan Nixon tweeted them.

With a diamond he would need wing backs. Does anyone know if Olsson is a normal full back or a wing back? You need serious energy from the two central /wide midfielders to play this formation. Bryson, hendrick possibly butterfield would fit the bill, thats probably about it. Villa played it well when sherwood first arrived and delph was still there, but cant of too many other sides who used it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Liverpool used the diamond formation under rodgers in the 13/14 season. Barcelona also used this formation when they beat Real Madrid 4-0 earlier this season. Juventus used a similar variation of the diamond formation on their way to the champions league final last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carra Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Just afraid Warnock will start to feel the strain inn the last 3 months of the season. Wouldn't mind bringing in a decent option at left back, preferably on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Just an idea, but maybe we're after olsson as a replacement for fozzy? Maybe Clement feels he wouldn't be good enough in the prem while olsson would? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a possibility, but I'm not sure what would have given him the idea Olsson is that much better than Fozzy if at all. If he's concerned about Fozzy in the prem, we'd likely sign a prem standard LB in the summer (if we get promoted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 But Alan Nixon said there was a bid. If it turns out he is lying I am not sure I will ever be able to trust another human being again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To much time spent on football manager You can't blame fans for Football Manager habits creeping into real life. The media are just as bad. I was watching SSN the other day, and they asked the question - is Benik Afobe Premier League quality? They tried to find out using his FM stats. As if Eddie Howe sent his scouts out and said "go and find a striker with 12-16 heading and at least 15 pace". Football Manager is supposed to imitate real life football, but somehow, it's going the other way round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 To be fair, on Gran Turismo I'm an elite racing driver and a suspension set up guru.if I tried that in real life I might not come out looking to clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
