Re: The race for the Top 4
This obsession with 442 that MP seems to have is getting beyond a joke. The only really good time we have had this season have been when we had no forwards so had to play with plenty of midfielders, and Roma away when we only had one forward.
Two up top can and does work when you halve the right two Dzeco and Kun are not the right two
Silva and Kun are.
In fact Silva Kun and Nasri gives us more a 433 with say Ferd Yaya and Milner behind them. Plenty of midfield ability and the movement and passing to open up tight defences.
But I'm fooling myself hoping for this unless we get another injury crisis before we drop even further as MP deems we play MIke Bassett style 442
Aiming to win the league we are now only 4 point off 5th and Thursday night football which would totally screw us up with regards to FFP and our run of points this year make us look the worst of the top 5 teams.
I hope I am wrong but unless we start playing with one forward and 5 in midfield 433 451 whatever our current run of points is very worrying. Just saw on Monday night football that Liverpool have made 13 points up on us since the new year so the other top 5 clubs would have made a hell of a lot of points up as well, and everyone seems to have sussed us out pack midfield against us and we struggle.
Top four could be a struggle, play our best players in their best position and top four is a piece of piss and the title is still on.
MP please play a formation like we did in Rome.
