vonwright Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Risky, possible stupid selections/formations that you'd nevertheless like to see tried, because they just might work with what we've got. Here's mine: Marshall Bryne/Edmundson/Clarke/Buchanan Knight/Baningime Joswiak/Watson/Sibley CKR On the basis that if we can't have quality in the midfield, we might as well have a bit more energy and forward thrust; that we desperately need more guile and skill in the three AM positions, players who are comfortable on the ball, carry some threat and can play (and receive) incisive passes; that I like having defenders who can play out from the back.

DCFC Kicks Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Could easily sub off 2 of the front 3 for Jozwiak & Roberts to make it a 3-4-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Here's a radical idea that might just work: Play the best players. In Bielik's absence.... Marshall Byrne. Wisdom. Clarke. Buchanan Watson. Shinnie. Knight Jozwiak Kazim-Richards. Roberts = If Sibley regains form, put him in. If Roberts disappears, send for Waggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen a player making the right decisions, in terms of attempting the right pass or trying to run at the opposition but without the confidence or belief to pull it off. If we were in a better position ourselves he’s the type of player who you’d keep putting in the side and show a bit of belief to and hopefully you’d reap the rewards. But because we need points we cant really mentor him at the minute and he keeps playing the bit-part which doesn’t help him or us. I think he’s good enough to be worth a go and it could benefit us long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know enough about Watson to know if he could ever play that role, but there's a tradition of attack minded/"passing" forwards dropping deeper and doing well, if surrounded by the right players, and I'm not sure you'd say all of them were good defensively (Paul Scholes, for example; probably Rooney too).

England's record goalscorer stands out a bit in that side... Wonder what our best "if only we had them all at their peak" side looks like: Ravanelli, Rooney, Kinkladze, etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
