Ian Haggarty Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 I never thought I would say it but. If Nigel Stuffs up again this weekend he needs to GO!!! Heres a system that might work. Right Back * Left Back Right Half * Centre Half * Left Half Outside Right * Outside Left. Inside Right * Centre Forward * Inside Left The oppostion will score 4 and we maybe might score 5. Seriously Mr Pearson can you answer this question. Why did you get rid of the system that the team played so brilliantly last season. You remember 4 * 4 * 2 Maybe tryoing that again might work. One thing is for sure. The System you have been playing for most of the season aint working is it??? That right, just nod your head and smile???

We've played 442 plenty of times this season and got torn to shreds. And what's that formation? A 523? That's very, very similar to the 541 we play at the minute, as Schlupp and Mahrez play as attacking wingers anyway.
Claridge Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 We were missing chances earlier that was the problem. Now we have a decent striker Pearson changes the system that was creating the chances? Pumping the ball up to an isolated Kramaric was just stupid on sunday as it came straight back. We need to win and need ulloa playing to take the physical contact allowing the team to play. Please no Nugent,its a myth we do well with him in the team,great sub for 15 mins but thats it. We win when Ulloa plays and gets the service as he can finish as can kramaric.5 at the back we lose for sure on sunday
NewquayFox Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 We have been pretty clueless in the Premier League as to what format to play to be honest, add to that the very very strange decisions by Pearson of late i just can't see us getting 5 wins, i really hope we do though....
shen Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Gotta love how something as simple as football has such a rich vocabulary just for player positions...

It's bad enough when people hark back to the MON days when trying to slag of Pearson but using a system devised 80 years ago!?

cc_star Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 We've done everything, we're just ultimately not good enough. It could be argued that a 442 made up of last season's energetic, high tempo play in the opposition's half team would take the piss out of this season's team containing Cambiasso & co
shailen Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 This is absolutely ridiculous. He got slated for playing 4-4-2 earlier in the season becuase It left our midfielder exposed. Then he played 4-5-1, which meant we were not creative enough and then he went back to 4-4-1-1/4-4-2 which was then criticized again. Now we play 5-4-1 which was seen as a stroke of genius against Arsenal, but now it's a failing system. Sometimes we have to admit tactics will only get us so far, but if the players are not performing, tactics won't improve us at all. We need to up our finishing and defending in the box.
Fox92 Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 If we want to play five at the back then it's got to be wing backs. No point in five and then a four with two wingers. In which case, for me, it'd be Schlupp and De Laet. Three across midfield and two (yes two!) upfront.

However, don't say it too loud 'cos Nigey Baby is always right, didn't you know, and he thinks something different that no-one else can understand, but that is because we are all idiots and he is the 'master' and we should never let him go because he deserves to stay and be given time to get used to football in the premiership and we should be happy to support him in everything he does without question because he got us promoted from the first division and the Championship so he deserves our never ending thanks and undying love.

Doesn't matter what formation you use if Simpson marks a striker from 10 yards away, Wes marks 10 seconds too late and Schwarzer juggles shots through his hands. 5-4-1 looks attacking and solid-we just need to get the personnel right...

Agree apart from I don't believe we have played a proper 4-5-1 this season. He's tried it with Vardy and Nugent on the flanks, but that really doesn't count. He hasn't once started and finished a game with 3CMs, 2 proper wingers and 1 centre-forward. Not once. That's pretty shocking when you consider that it's the way that around 90% of other teams line up, week after week, season after season, in the Premiership.
sly1 Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 I have faith in my players ' pearson stop bloody saying that onwards&upwards

We did play a 4-5-1 against Man City and West Ham, with Vardy up front on his own. But I do take your point that it has not been played enough. We don't have the quality of a forward like Costa who can hold the ball up, turn and finish at will.

It's not always about big lad holding the ball up Pearson played Vardy on his own because he was hoping to unleash the pace, there was a couple of occasions when we managed to get Vardy 1 on 1 against Managala, but he was outmuscled. With Kram upfront on his own he was able to drop deep or push outwide to hold on to possession and this creates an enormous amount of space for attacking players to pour into (trouble was against Villa Schlupp was only in the 1st half, not 2nd and Mahrez was not in the whole game
roachmachine Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 What Suffolk fox says. Likewise I will be amazed if we manage 5 wins during the rest of the season, and who is to say that would benough anyway

At Villa last Sunday, he had practically no support and found himself both unnecessarily deep and wide. When we eventually pushed forward after conceding two, we scored. A player of his quality should be in and around the box. Hypothetically, in the Championship, he can run the channels to his hearts content, but I rather suspect when he remains in the Premiership for another club and under decent management, he'll be directed otherwise.

It's a different team mentality though in comparison to what most of the squad has been built on
Head Honcho Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 Morgan is the weak link. Drop him we have a slight chance keep him in the squad it's adios.
J.Lisemore Posted 20 February 2015 Posted 20 February 2015 We've been over-complicating tactics and set-ups all season and its pretty clear its been a major part of our downfall. If we had a more capable manager in charge of these players at this present time, we wouldn't be bottom. Simple as that really.
