Redfearn seems to be trying to implement the Dutch Total Football philosophy of the 70's which Ajax also used to great success but you're right, we don't have the players for it to work. They had world class players like Cruyff and Neeskens, we've got Morison and Murphy etc
To narrow your question down... Why do we have 2 full backs out on the wings. That line us is ****ed as anything. When we played this formation under Grayson at least we had two winger who went forward and we could use Gradel as a striker. I don't think the English game is suited to that formation and tatics. Too many defensive players
We should have stuck to a 442 of.. Silvestri, Byram, Pearce, Bulesci, Warnock, Rm, Mowatt, CM, Monty, Sharp and Antenucci
Back row...John McCelland, Lee Chapman, Mike Whitlow Chris Fairclough, Chris Whyte, McAllister, Not sure maybe Gary Williams, not sure maybe Imre Varadi Merv the swerve Glynn Snoden, Ray Wallace, Strachan, Gary RIP Speed, David Batty, Rod Wallace, Tony Dorigo, not sure maybe Neil Edwards
"he's Jimmy Saville he shagged Delia Smith" was sung and the only thing that made me smile last night haha
Murphy and Byram have gone off the boil in recent times. Play Taylor in his proper position. Get rid of Sharp, he's as useful as a chocolate teapot. ---------------------------Silvestri--------------------------- Wooton---Bamba---Bellusci--Del Fabro----Taylor ------------Sloth----------Adrian-----------Mowatt--- --------------Antenuci-----------Doukara--------------
Can tell you didn't watch the game last night mate Byram and Murphy worked their arses off and do not deserve to be dropped. Mowatt needs a rest he is knackered and didn't do a thing yesterday.
and Berardi has been my most improved player in the last 6 games. He deserves a shot in his favoured RB position
Mowatt has scored 10 goals from midfield. Without his goals, we'd be in a hell of a bigger mess by now. Understand he was poor last night though. What happened to OLOF?
