ramboy63 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 FL needs to get switched on and quick its alright playing 4-3-3 when you have the quality he played in at Chelsea,sadly we havent. Our 2 wide men Lawrence/wilson are powder puff at best and give no protection what so ever leaving us completely exposed. To make the system work you need quality on the flanks and a dictator central midfield with a centre forward looking for the ball at all times,sadly yesterday we had none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I know frank was unhappy but giving them lesions as a punishment is a bit extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year we have invested in attacking full backs so I think we do have the players for it. It takes the pressure off Keogh too and I liked him in a 3. Carson gk keogh rcb davies cb tomori lcb wisdom rwb lowe lwb Bryson cm Mount cm Wilson RW Waghorn St Lawrence LW You loose the issue of holding mid in this position as you don’t have one 3-4-3 other option is 352 but that would involve us playing Wilson and Lawrence as wing back or loosing them completely. Major difference is that last season there was no intention of playing out from the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of fans have been calling for a young team playing flowing football. That combination along with a manager with no experience, will result in more losses than wins, initially at least.

Yes and we don't have the players to pull this off defensively. All have very little composure on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what i think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but having Davies and Huddlestone in the team might have. I feel for Frank that he's lost two of his most experienced players just as the season proper is getting going. It will be a blend of youth and experience that will make us click, just not got that blend right yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto Huddlestone. Thing is, with a massive squad like DCFC have, it's not easy to use injured players as an excuse for losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeS Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 6 hours ago, G STAR RAM said: I don't think anyone would argue that they had the better players on the day but our formation/personnel played a massive part in our downfall. From their first goal it was obvious that they were getting too much space in the middle of the park. Its early days but already I am wondering if we have the personnel to play the type of game that FL has in mind, I certainly don't see anyone in the squad capable of playing the CDM role on their own. If we are going to continue playing with 2 wingers and 2 attacking full backs I think it would be a mistake to play with one CDM. Just my opinion and I'm fully aware that I'm not tactical genius! Sorry to say....they had better players on the day. All round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, with a massive squad like DCFC have, it's not easy to use injured players as an excuse for losing. I wasn't disagreeing with you, just saying we might have done better with them. Is this Davies' first missed game for us? He seemed to be there all last season. Huddlestone missed a few, I know. Unfortunately for us we have a big squad but they aren't all like for like, either in terms of fit to our current formation or in terms of quality. I was pretty impressed with 'steady Ledley' last year but he's not suiting the current system at all. I thought Huddlestone might be likewise but he played some fantastic through balls against Southampton. We've not seen enough of him this season to know for sure either way yet. Wag horn is an experienced player but had been with the squad for three days' training on Saturday. He'll get better. Like you, I am expecting us to win some lose some and I am happy to give it time.
