jambodinho Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 This is what a number of teams like Manchester United, Chelsea and Portsmouth all us this. I like it but you need to have the right players. From our squad and comparing it to Man United just as an example this is my selection. Basso / Van Der Sar Orr/ Brown--------- Carey / Rio-------Fontaine / Vidic------McAllister / Evra ------------Elliott / Carrick-------Johnson / Scholes--------Skuse / Hargreaves Williams / Ronaldo -------------------------------------- McIndoe / Rooney -----------------------------------Maynard / Tevez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you're not in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderhead456 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 i must admit, i've always liked the idea of trundle playing just behind maynard, i think all his flicks and tricks would be perfect for maynard to work off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Tansley Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 nicky maynard up front on his own? your really taking the piss there. ball retention- where is our out ball? who is going to hold it up? nicky maynard is NOT A LONE STRIKER, he doesnt affect games but scores goals(which is ###### brilliant, and i wouldnt change that for the world) how about, we play 4-4-2 push williams in the middle next to marv and play sproule, noble, murray or wilson right wing?

westy Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 cor most of you lot take everything far too seriously, i thought this was a discussion forum!! - i wasn't suggesting never playing 442 or anything of the sort, just was thinking if it was ever needed would / could it work and who would be best to play the formation!

Ron Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Basso Orr Carey McCombe McAllister Williams Elliott Johnson Noble Maynard Adebola would do me just fine. Shades of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stan Hibbert Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Everyone knows that a successful team is built around a solid spine. so my formation would be straight down the middle... ---------Basso--------- -----------Orr---------- ---------Carey--------- --------Fontaine------- ---------Macca--------- ---------Elliott---------- --------Johnson-------- --------Williams-------- --------McIndoe-------- --------Brooker-------- --------Maynard-------- my only slight concern is perhaps a lack of width.

Redhyde Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 4-3-2-1 is when your national manager tries to claim that 4-4-1-1 with a central midfielder playing on the left and right and the link striker playing far too deep really is an attacking formation. I'd like to get our 4-4-2 working first before messing with things. I thought we looked better with 5 midfielders alst year personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Trundle in for Noble and you got a winner well they are best mates.. thats why they work well together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, we can play that system when football becomes a non contact, non heading sport. Until then, someone up front needs to be worry the defenders physically.

terjon Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I would play 4 5 1 if we turned away from 442 451 when we are defending turned quickly into 433 when we were attacking, my 4 5 1 BASSO Orr Carey Mccombe Macallister (webby) L Johnson Elliott Noble (Skuse) Williams Mclindoe ( Trundle) Maynard Subs.........Brooker, adebola, sproule, fontain, weale. You could mix and match the midfield with players playing interchanging roles, plenty of movement..........tuck in 5 midfielders when we defend, 433 when we attack.
