It’s a conundrum. And he can’t solve it. Two buzzing midfielders (one of them Korey) helps. Yeah- the only way I could see a 4-4-2 working would be if we were defensive, counterattacking 4-4-2. Like Millwall last season, or Birmingham this season but if we want attacking or front foot/dominant football then 4-4-2 will undoubtedly see us overrun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means the two central midfielders don’t have to be expansive. Maghoma on the left is a tricky customer with an eye for a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jota also can come inside in an attacking mid sense- that helps numerically, though Birmingham under Monk this year as a side really eschew possession- seem not to have much. Maybe we're better without the ball, some of our best results this year have been when we've had <50%. Flies in the face of most of my football beliefs but that run of wins v Swansea, QPR, Blackburn, Sheff Utd under 50% off the top of my head. We had under 50% v Ipswich too, though the less said about that performance the better. Also has a lot to do with LJ and his tactics though IMO. Whereas v Wigan, Sheffield Wednesday, Reading and Preston we had >50%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne allisons tongues Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Watching yesterday from the south stand 2nd half countless times he would give the ball and run into space. Every time he did that our midfield mainly Pack, would control it, look around take a touch and play it back to our CB. You could see Weimann getting more and more frustrated as this went on. This isn’t the first time this has happened seems to be most games now, surely our players or manager can see the runs being made so why aren’t they being utilised.

It's only since LJ started moving him here, there and everywhere that his form has dropped. He is not a striker. Like any attacking player he will score a few....but never be consistent enough to be called a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Pack had perhaps the worst game ever. I've said in the Marlon thread, that I have tons of time for him but his current 'play it slow and safe' style is literally killing those around him. It is relevant on this thread as I don't think he spotted even one of Weinmann's runs - of which there were in excess of 30 !!. Pack sits so deep and tends to pick up most balls from the back 4. It's as if someone then presses SLOWMO as he ponders forward, giving it the right eyes and always passing left. He really short changed Weinmann on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really short changed Weinmann on Sunday But in the second half it was Pack as the slightly more advanced CM that committed himself into a 40:60 tackle with 2 Millwall players, coming away with the ball, instantly setting Eliasson free to cross for our first goal. After that he went into his shell for 10-15 minutes, playing unnecessary give and goes as we lost momentum. He want the only one. We showed our lack of underbelly by not going for the jugular at 1-0.
