Formation

I cant even guess what formation MH will decide upon. Thoughts please?

 

Alan Pardew, is that you? If so, JOG ON!


Think Sparky will line up in a rigid, well drilled 4-4-2 with one of the strikers in a support role (4-4-1-1 if you like).

 

has to be 442 for newcastle, as i'm not too sure whether we have 5 midfielders to pick from!!

 

I wouldn't worry about the formation but rather would about putting a team out capable of competing. the positive may be the fact everyone who plays will be giving their all to impress the new boss!

 

Agreed. Won't be easy for MH with the squad so depleted imo. He'll need to set us up as hard to beat and hope the players battle for their lives to impress the new guy!!

 

hope you play 442

 

Hes known for a 442 with a big and little man. HH and DJ and soon to be Santa Cruz and Henrique?

 

We'll get done through the midfield if we play 4-4-2!!

 

Couldn't agree more Col, couldn't agree more.

The trouble is that with our injuries and missing players we may have to play a formation that best fits the players available.

 

If he's sensible he should play 4-4-2 and keep it simple.

Personally I think we can play 4-3-1-2 as we need a provider in the middle who can both go forward and back, and we need more width with the wingers running the lengths but keeping the back stronger.

 

Yep!!

 

I think it will be a 4-1-2-1-2. Derry Holding mid and Buz attacking.

 

Thats what hes known for but this is a game where a 451 or a 4231 could work so who knows.

 

Can't see how you can play with wingers in that formation.
