Summer 2014 Transfer rumour thread - Part V

Dan looked up the stats and said all Feyenoord played was 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3.

 

He played 5-3-2 like three or four times. The vast majority of times he lined up 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1. Check whoscored for proof.

 

Take it I'm not going to get an apology as he clearly does play 5-3-2 at times.

 

Get a grip, why do I need a apologise?

 

Vert very rarely. Why the **** should anyone apologise to you when he clearly only plays 5-3-2 a handful of times.

 

So does Brendan Rodgers. When the situation calls for it.

 

They played 3-5-2 / 5-3-2 a lot.

Koeman was basically responsible for the Dutch using the tactic. Apparently van gaal even told RVP to watch feyenoord last season and informed him that's how he wants the Dutch national team to play. Can't remember where I read all of that though

 

"Koeman has never played 5-3-2."

 

Has Pelle signed yet? or did you mean next monday?

 

Aha

 

Redundant conversation anyway as we have nowhere near enough quality at CB to play that formation.

 

Got me there mate
Was expected though by many people.

 

Would need at least 3 cbs brought in.

 

They really didn't. Van Gaal doesn't even like Koeman.

 

Oh stop it, you've already said you don't actually know.

You're not starting this whole forum lark terribly well, are you!?

 

Nor the depth of quality at striker, even if we buy two of them.

 

3-5-2 Dominates on Fifa. Hands down best formation.

 

Plus Feyenoord didn't even have two strikers to fit in a 5-3-2. Pelle played between Boetius and Schaken.

 

On FIFA maybe. Are you seriously comparing a game where you can sprint past everyone to real life football?

 

And I won the World Cup final playing 10-0-0 on FM. Probably won't use that, either.
