Steve Bruce's broken records.. "It were a horrible, horrible night" "he's been half the way around the world" "hindsight is a wonderful thing" "we didn't perform" Even if we win the play-offs, I think we need a new DJ on the turntable..
My son still asks me those questions - and he's 34! Generally speaking with us it means we have 5 across the back & is far more defensive than with 2 Centre Halves and attacking fullbacks.
Plus. "So many websites are full of fans opinions" " why dont these people follow the clubs away from home like my previous clubs fans did " " I think Hull really are a small club" DEAL WITH IT. Allam OUT
You could go gung ho. 4-3-3 which with Dave and Robertson could quite easily become 2-5-3 or 2-3-5 when attacking. McGregor Elmo Dawson Davies Robertson Livermore Huddlestone Meyler Snodgrass Hernandez Aluko We're at a stage in the season where only wins will do, so let's go all out attack.
I've always said Snodgers should be behind the striker, he's way too slow for our team out wide.When he plays and Elmo doesnt we're making the slowest team in the world even slower.
ive always wanted us to play 3-5-2 and cant understand why he hasn't given it a try long before now with the success it brought us in the championship last time. id play Elmo there even when Moses is back, even a half arsed Elmo put 3 or 4 decent crosses in the other night, I think Snodgrass has lots of great qualities but his crossing is very overrated, I think hed be much more use in the middle 3..with Livermore and Huddlestone. cant see it tho, it will be just Elmo in at right back, and he might be adventurous enough to swap diame for hernandez, but that's all we will get.
A manager should pick his system to suit his players, not force the players into his favourite system. And with our personnel 3-5-2 is definitely making best use of who we have at the club. Elmo was our best player the last time we got promoted, it's just bizarre that he isnt being used in the same role. And when you add into that the attacking threat of Robertson...
I'd take Davies out, hasn't been the same for the last year as he used to be Mcgregor Elmo Dawson Maguire Bruce Robbo Snodgrass Livermore Huddlestone Akpom Hernandez
................McGregor.............. Elmo..Davies..Dawson..Maguire..Robertson ......Hayden...Livermore....Meyler...... ...........Snodgrass... Hernandez....... A midfield that won't be done for pace or over run and can track back if needed, Elmo and Robertson in their best positions, Snodgrass number 10 or can drift wider as he likes.
I don't know why you are taking everything so literally, it seems unnecessarily argumentative and lacks any element of exploring other ideas; but there was me thinking this was a football board, I know, I'm daft, aren't I. But never-mind, you have ignored the fact that I am talking about a so-called Premier League (Europe Competition!!) manager and a team that he and others speak of as Premier League standard - well, that is what he has recruited the key players for - or am I wrong on that too? I would like to think that a competent, forward thinking coach (or assistant) might just try something a tad different when he admits his other options are exhausted I have never said that this 'lopsided' formation should be our key strategy. What I have said is that our squad was so badly assembled that we find ourselves with too many wrong players and not enough right players. You might disagree with that, too. I have simply offered an option of how that might be addressed, an option you have clearly been ignorant of - nothing wrong with that, by the way. But you want examples. As you have seen, I am not the best at search engines and I did post the Football Manager reference, which you and another selected for your ridicule of me, but you were also selective to ignore valid comment. (I suppose, to fit your view, we should ignore the very real validity of Football Manager in the professional football world, as it really is not my inspiration for this option either - in fact, I've never looked at it.) But try reading this, as it gives real example, it explains how it can work and it shows how a decent, blinkers-off coach, might adapt when he needs to - it is not the one I originally had in mind, but it is adequate to place the principle into the real world. Pay heed to: Hey, Walter, I got into this conversation with a PL footballer doing his badges, we discussed it like adults because folk are looking for ways not to be ransomed (financially or tactically) by expensive prima donnas (not his words); we also discussed it as we had no reason to try and belittle each other and we have open minds. I consider I have kept my promise.
These were really piss-poor responses. You put folk down with snidely comment and yet you really do come across as extremely restricted in your thinking. Unimpressed with your tarts responses and your dogmatic approach to using twatter responses and inaccuracy to put folk down. You criticise Bruce but offer no better than he can from our squad. You really should try discussing things and stop trying to dominate them or be all knowing. I put forward options and thoughts to be challenged, instead you decide to ridicule and belittle. ****ing Cockwomble is your phrase and it suits you.
No it wasn't, it was a piss take, you know it and normal of late. If you think it was or came across as a joke then it is you who is the humourless twat, as your 'jokes' seem to fail quite often. I know what a joke is, I have made many on here, I also know what a ****ing know-it-all is and you have grown into that of late.
