I know what you mean but think it would be too confusing for them to switch around. It is worrying, think that was the first proper big bustling centre forward we have played against, they will have to do something when play West ham- Carew and/or Cole!!
Van Persie on for 7 mins; Gervinho runs to by-line and flick ball back; RVP scores. No...big...man...involved...in...it!
I said this during the game, pretty much everyone in their team looked overweight! Our lack of a left midfielder was a major problem in the first half, we just looked so unbalanced.
Even if it's too difficult for them to do during play (ffs really, marking a man instead of the space is that difficult?), at set pieces we should be doing it. This week we had Chester marking their big centrehalf at set pieces, and got taken for the first two goals as a result of his lack of height and then lack of reach compared to the man he was marking.
Just listened to Adkins on BBC website about our passing style of play. He's had us watched on a number of occasions and you can be sure after 'seeing' us on Sat, he will be instructing his players to toss plenty of high balls in for Lambert to get on the end of. Expecting a busy night.
