    Can't remember 4-1-4-1 like. Aye he has tried a couple of formations but always goes back to the safe 4-3-3 what ends up 4-5-1 because we are always defending.

    My main beef is he hasn't got the ability to change the game. The subs are always like for like stuff like that pal

    He means the 443 we played with last season and most of this season, the one that was supposed to step up into a 343 but you you said ended up stepping back into a 451 because he hasn't had the balls to attack.

    Agree
    Agree with your point about subs. The ones that aren't forced are usually like for like with little effect.

    Gee, thanks for putting me right! When I said 4-1-4-1 that's what I meant. The usual formation for Gus is this where he has deep lying CM with 2 central in front, either Gomez or Rodders with Larson. He adds a wide right with a CF wide left who should act as CF when attacking or left wing back when we haven't got the ball. That's the role he played Fabio in last season and Connor this. We've seen it can be effective but only if the players put the required graft in!

    I agree pal. If he had more balls then I may give him more time but the bloke won't change so **** him

    Oh, and just for the sake of pedantry I know Gus likes the keeper to get involved in a sweeper role but unless you're Tranmeer I don't think you're allowed 443. ( if I wasn't on an iPod I'd insert a smiley there, preferably whistling :-} )

    Still think the first system will work with a bit of tweaking and an injection of bollocks.

    It's hard to do sarcasm in text on a device that doesn't give access to emoticons. I know it's the lowest form of wit but I do like it.

    I think you'll find it's a self appointed post! But it's really an Oscar Wilde quote, that I disagree with cause sarcasm is quite an art form. End of ministry of comedy communique :-}

    Well you said you didn't know what he meant. I corrected you at which point you realised we were all on about the same system. Or did something else yous happen there? <confused>

    Yep, pretty sure that's what just happened. Or do you just not like the word corrected? Fair do's replace it with which ever equivalent you like. <ok>

    It's funny that as you didn't know what he meant and I did, so no, I wasn't correcting him.
