Geo V Posted 6 October 2007 Posted 6 October 2007 However he chooses to have done it the defence seems to be sound. That he appears to have detracted from other areas as a result seems beyond question to me but he's decided to tackle the defence first and I am prepared to wait and see whether he can now make the other areas effective.I see no reason with so many defenders why we wouldn't play at least two attacking midfielders or even three if necessary assuming they are the types that can ebb and flo a bit depending on the situation. King, Clemence/Kishishev, Sheehan springs to mind or Newton, King, Clemence/Sheehan, but there really are a stack of options without even mentioning the still-not-fully-fit Porter. The problems arise when everyone is fit and the best players available would not necessily give us the most attacking option and, if we're not going to get goals from the wing-backs we really need some from centre midfield. King, Levi and Sheehan in a midfield 3 are good enough for Man United.
Chrysalis Posted 6 October 2007 Posted 6 October 2007 The defence isn't tightened. We're playing with two back 4's, which any team in this division would have a tough job breaking through. Maybe if we start playing with more than 1 midfielder a match and the defence isn't conceding too many we could say it's tightened, he's conning us at the moment.Unfortunately for us Megson is years behind everyone else, football has moved on. Burnley style to nick a 1-0
