Team for Swansea...

Fvck 4-5-1, we don't have any forwards all round good enough to play up front on their own, as Sousa proved to us all.



Weale

Naughton - Davies - Hobbs - Berner

Moussa - King - Wellens - Dyer

Howard - Waghorn

Howard in mainly because he's an option in the air, we're not gonna completely outpass these, fact.

what about vassell can he play yet

Howard in mainly because he's an option in the air, we're not gonna completely outpass these, fact.

The lack of a quality 'all round forward' is an issue, but against Leeds creating chances was not the problem, taking them was! Dyer and Fryatt, whether starting or from the bench should make a difference,

Despite his goal on Tuesday, Howard will not improve our goalscoring on a regular basis, the last year and a bit have shown us that and the only 'option' he gives us is the 'hoof'. Giving the ball back to a side good in possesion is really not a good idea.

Also suicidal is a two man midfield against, as you say yourself, a good passing side. With two men up and two men wide the middle is wide open, Swansea will cut us to shreds if we play like that.

We have seen this time and time again under Pearson, a dogged 4-4-fooking-2 man if there ever was, why on earth do you think he played Oakley on the right? Because he's a great winger? Not!

Even Pearson could see that 4-4-2 not working and tried to switch to a 4-3-3/4-5-1 back in the spring, but his one failing as City manager was that he had neither the flair nor the determination to embrace the change and make it work.

Under Sousa out shape was often good, as was our passing play, what was wrong was everything else, fitness, determination, discipline, belief, you name it, we didn't have it.

so no he wont be playing.

Fryatt Waghorn

4-4-2, Howard as an impact sub, Moussa to cover more central midfield should Dyer bomb on so we don't become too exposed.

Defence will stay the same of course. Option between 4-4-2/4-5-1. I would personally go for 4-4-2 with Dyer and Moussa on the sides, with King in CM partnered with either Wellens/Abe. From what i've heard on commentary, as soon as he came on, the game changed but i'd still stick with Wellens. If we go 4-5-1, i'd stick Waghorn up front by himself with Abe as the extra CM- holding: Fryatt dropping to the bench. However, I can't see Oakley being dropped so somehow he'll play.

Also, I don't think Cunningham would've come here to just be a squad player, so he'll make the bench AT LEAST in my opinion. However, I don't think you can drop Berner, so I can see him being used a left-midfielder instead of Moussa/Dyer.

We'll need to keep Dyer and Sinclair quiet to having Moussa and Dyer wide being able to track back where necessary v.useful.....

Yes please. Perfect for this game. Even better with Lloydy replacing Gallagher

Posted

Same team but with Dyer in for Gally if fit. Give Abe half hour in the middle for Oakley or Wellens if possible and appropriate.

Yep i'd go with that. :thumbup:

Posted

I can!....:angry:

4-4-fooking-2, Swansea will murder us, straight down the middle.

Two men up and two men wide, King and Wellens will get over run, it's happened dozens of time over the last couple of seasons...:frusty: :frusty:

I'd like to see something different to 4-4-2 as and when necessary but Sven's a 4-4-2 man and we were totally, totally shit playing 4-5-1 under Sousa.

As ttfn said but especially with Fryatt back I can't see Sven going with anything but a 4-4-2.

Weale

Naughton - Davies - Hobbs - Berner

Moussa - Oakley- Wellens - Dyer

King

- Waghorn

Playing king off waghorn for me as we need a 5 man midfield but still need an extra man up front as waghorn cant do the job on his own.

Posted

4-5-1 from me with King pushing on

Weale

Naughton - Davies - Hobbs - Berner

Moussa - Oakley - Wellens - Dyer

King

Waghorn

I think we need to be tighter in midfield so am not convinced about playing Dyer tbh,

The team today is

GK: Weale

RB: Naughton

LB: Cunningham

CB: Hobbs

CB: Davies

LW: Dyer

RW: Moussa

CM: Wellens

Logan, morrison, moreno, waghorn abi, berner, howard

I think that's the right team personally, give Waghorn a bit of a rest, I'd be more comfortable with Fryatt (whose goals per minute ratio is quite good this season I think?) in a lone role than Waggy. Gallagher rightly dropped, Berner probably injured or unfit. The idea of not recalling a fit Dyer was laughable as well, we'd have ruined Hull with him in team, the game was begging for him, and he's in great form.
