Wallace Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I don't really want to get into hounding McClaren out 'cause for me, we did that with Pardew and we got Carver. The c*** at the top is the issue. I doubt we'll get owt better than McClaren now whilst Fatty McTwatty is the owner Hm. There comes a point, as there did with Pardew, that a manager's shitness can not and no longer should be tolerated regardless of the consequences of ousting him. I'd say McClaren isn't miles away from that, a couple of heavy defeats in the next few games Inc a cup exit and he's got to go. I think the press will be doing the hounding as they don't seem to care much for McClaren (failed England manager - they will never forgive him).

Pilko Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 He's another one who seems very set in his ways and isn't learning from the constant defeats and shit performances. "Hard work" is the only solution, rather than changing his piss poor tactics and retarded substitutions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 In the 4231 the middle triangle is key. You can get away with a lot elsewhere if these three are on the case. ................AM/Auxillaryforward..... ..........DM.............DM................. Having variations of Ayoze, One lung with Anita and Colblack there is the biggest issue. Neither of the DM's have the tools to range forward with purpose and the AM/F that we have lack pace or presence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Think we should try Sissoko as the attacking midfielder again like he did in his first few games Said this a few weeks ago myself. He's shit at the other side of the game but is untouchable at transitioning attacking play and imo has now actually improved his end product a lot. Take him out of the trenches, which he clearly doesn't like, give him a free role and get the system set to have Gini supporting him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 He's tried to overcome this limitation with Mbem and Collo coming out with the ball, but even then the DM's look frozen and unsure what to do as they don't have the instinct to get into the final 2/3 of the opp half. So a number of straight passes rely on Ayoze or whomever controlling the ball, turning and linking into the 2nd attack phase. By this time we are outnumbered and the wide forwards are still too wide instead of coming inside. When the cd's come out with the ball the striker is meant to run toward them to create insecurity in the opp CD's and the AM is meant to do an angled run into space for a pass and the wide forwards come inside (get a 4v3 overload on the edge of the box). All this should happen at once. Never happens. Ball goes wide someone pisses about with it and a cross comes in with one in the box with no near post run (rarely) and no mid on the edge of the box. The one player who really understands what should be happening is Wijn hence he goes central and towards the box as soon as there is an overlap on the right wing. That's how he gets dem goals.

I also agree that his end product has definitely improved lately It actually makes by far the most sense of any tactical change we could make with current personnel as well. I'd have done it weeks ago, and I'd certainly be looking at it for games like Arsenal where we'll be sitting deep and he can change the phase of play in seconds all on his own.

Take him out of the trenches, which he clearly doesn't like, give him a free role and get the system set to have Gini supporting him. Sign the right CM and you can play Moussa in his box-to-box free role and Gini in the #10 and build a central trio based on those 3. Thauvin wide left, Perez or a new real right winger wide right and Perez/Mitro/New CF up top. That's actually the true and real way forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do actually have some pretty decent players in our starting eleven, unfortunately they are totally undermined by three of four shocking players in key areas, i.e., left back, central defence and central midfield. Also the goalkeeper so make that five. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
