Dave Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 What is McClaren's favoured formation? I'm never arsed about England so don't remember when he was there and didnt see any Twente or Derby (or whatever else was in between) http://www.football-lineups.com/coach/162/ Boro: 4-4-2 England: 4-4-2 Twente: 4-3-3 Wolfsburg: mostly 4-3-2-1 Forest: tried everything Twente again: 4-3-3 Derby first season: 4-3-3 Derby last season: 4-1-4-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 i like his honesty here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/15606980 Sounds pretty ominous tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Imagine if they unveiled him as manager and he'd shaved his head like a mad cunt. That would be better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 @dpcoverdale Steve McClaren will bring with him Paul Simpson but not Steve Round or Eric Steele. No Lee Clark either. Andy Woodman stays for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If he's got even the slightest amount of adaptability, he's lightyears ahead of Pardew. You think of a couple of the squads we've had over the last four years - some of the pools of players we've had available - you wonder how we'd have done with a manager that wasn't stubborn in his jurassic negativity. The squad now is pish but if can buy a couple of good players I'm curious (even slightly optimistic) that we could be watchable. I'm not happy with McClaren. It's a predictable and boring appointment that hasn't been made with the intentions of being the best we can be, but I'm just so exhausted by the past era that I'm interested to finally see something, anything, fresh.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Don't think you can help being slightly interested in what will happen. When I initially reacted to McClaren I assumed he would have Carver and Stone as his coaching staff, so that's a lot better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 "Set to include". My English isn't the best, but for me that sounds like he will be appointed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could very well be talking out of my arse here of course, but just a feeling I've got. Obviously those numbers amounts to very little if your players are coached to make runs and play like they've seen each other before, which hasn't happened here for a good few years.

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Carver and Stone was a good move. Better moves once appointed should be getting rid of Gouffran, Obertan, Willo, Riv & Saylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh it depends on the players we have, Arsenal use 4-1-4-1 and it's been quite effective for them and i'd say that for anyone depending on the players and the style of play.

Guest Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 That 4-1-4-1 was pretty much much two proper wingers though wasn't it? Ibe first half a season, Ince the second...no idea who plays the other side, but it was more attack than midfield in the way most teams operate now.

Tiresias Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 While I am a bit of a tactics nerd I always find formations talk slightly deceptive, I have seen incredibly negative 4-1-4-1s and very positive ones (poyet's compared to wengers), same with 4-3-3 and 4-4-2s. it depends more on the tasks of the players out there (usually how many of them, especially the wingers are actually there to commit to attacks).

midds Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Man, I feel a lot better about supporting NUFC now than I did a week or so back. Baby steps, but steps in the right direction nonetheless. Aye, this is pretty much me too. I'm sick of hating everything to do with the club and I want it to work so I can start to go back to how I was regarding the club. Being negative as fuck is starting to wear pretty thin and I just want to start enjoying NUFC again, McClaren's not who wanted but he's got it now so I'll just wait and see how it goes for a year. Binning Carver and Stone is a biggie for me, a bit of investment in 5 or 6 quality players would help and if he's as good a coach as I've heard then it augurs well. I want it to work.

Guest Hog Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Carver and Stone was a good move. Better moves once appointed should be getting rid of Gouffran, Obertan, Willo, Riv & Saylor. I'll never understand this sort of outlook, unless you mean getting rid of them over time. I mean the team is already thin, as much as the players you've listed are indeed pants we still need a 'squad' of players and I can't imagine we're likely to see any massive influx anytime soon. That aside though, I hope you're right that Shuper-Mac does make better choices with the teams he picks from what we have available - it's not like he'll have much say in who we'll buy, that's for sure.
