Quote from: N'ZMAV on February 23, 2020, 08:48:27 PMWe need McGinn, Luiz and Nakamba in the middle. Grealish off the striker. Fuck the wide shite like AEG and Trez off. They're not up for it. Agree with this, we also need to use Hourihane more from the bench. AEG is too inconsistent and Trez, well I’ve yet to see what the point of him is. A nothing player.

But he will give us a better chance of outscoring teams. Him and jack getting up the pitch with Samatta should cause some damage.He will if we revert back to four at the back. Im sorry but this five at the back has been a utter failure. Why smith still persists with this garbage formation he will relegate us.We look even worse. My opinion is lets go back to when enegls and mings were at cb with targett and guilbert at rb.Nakamba luiz and mcginn in cm with jack behind the striker.Dump bloody trez and aeg both utter shit and should be sold in the summer. Between them and jota what terrible business them three hav ebeenAnd no width whatsoever? Interesting idea. So basicalky same tactics when aeg and trez are thereThat's hardly a defence of an unworkable formation. At least with 3 at the back there's more chance for the fullbacks to get forward and provide some width.

Even when McGinn returns, Hourihane has to start games for me. Despite his shortcomings, the lad knows where the net is.

The idea that you need 3 at the back to have attacking full backs.
The idea that you need 3 at the back to have full backs providing width is bollocks.

I don’t think Hourihane gets around the pitch enough and games bypass him too much to play as one of two midfielders.
