ciderbeans Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Its has to be a 4-4-3 lineup with one striker and two wingers either side. Albert plays his best when he doesn't have to come back and can constantly drive at defenses. We need to play to our strengths and this is one of them. Rather than trying to appease certain strikers by providing game time. 4-3-3 has been tried and tested successfully in pre-season so why the sudden reversion back to old school shit? Hopefully this mess will not continue during the league.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyreds89 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 On form since Christmas Bolasie should be starting on front of Albert, better first touch, strong and can deliver a cross! End of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickolas Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 We actually need a formation that doesnt include gerken, foster, fontaine, nyatanga and woolford!!! I'd take 352, 145, 325, anything without those jokes for pro footballers within it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Don't read too much into tonights formation. McInnes was missing Cunningham, Kilkenny and Anderson as well as Taylor and Carey. At least 4 of those are likely to be first team regulars. One thing is for sure. Gerkin ain't the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Foster and Woolford down one side, wouldn't be how I'd draw conclusions about 442. Which formation works depends on the players and the movement. We've been dire with 433/451 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this mess will not continue during the league.... even with 12 men we would struggle, or is Gerken so bad that we may as well play without a keeper?

He does his best work further up the pitch. Can't argue about Nyatanga, Fontaine and Gerkin, couldn't trap a bag of cement, let alone pass a ball.

notsobigfatdave Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 How many times have I said this...line up 442 at home and you immediately hand the Phsycological and tactical advantage to the opposition...who have probably set their stall out pre-start to counter attack. It means they can immediately push an extra player into the midfeild or forward which is what Gillingham tried to do tonight..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 4 of those are likely to be first team regulars. One thing is for sure. Gerkin ain't the answer. This is the only crumb of comfort we can take from tonight. Gerken, Nyatanga & Skuse starting in the back 5 felt horrible prior to the game and so it was. But it got worse when Del realised he needed Skuse back in the middle for the ineffective Pearson, and it meant that Woolford went to LB. Sorry - I don't want to be a naysayer this early in the season, but if we are missing one player (Cunningham) and we have to play Gerken, Nyatanga & Woolford as 3 of your back 5 then we are in all sorts of trouble. Thankfully, Cunningham will be back at LB on Saturday and Heaton will be in goal (hopefully). But we are crying out for a CB (as we all know). If we can't get one then please give James Wilson another crack in there and take Nyatanga to the Nyaknackers yard for shooting. Sign M Wilson and drop Tang & Gerk and suddenly the defence looks a million times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
