... is being played as a holding midfielder :lol:

 

Would like to see what he is capable of in a position that actually suits him.

 

the bench???

Has just been pointed out to me that Man City under Pearce went 5 months without scoring a goal at home.

 

We have faith?

Why Henderson seems to have been assigned the playmaker role I don't know, his range of passing is painfully average. Cleverly is wasted in this system too, doesn't get enough of the ball to do what he's good at. I just think 433 is shit and they don't seem to know how to play in it.

 

It's just as if Pearce has thought 'all the best teams use it, therefore it must be amazing and we should too' without thinking about if we have the players to suit it or not.

 

Got merked playing 4-4-2 in the first game though.

 

They dominated possession but didn't really look like putting 2 or 3 past us, plus we looked even worse against Ukraine who are nowhere near as good as Spain.

We played a very talented Spanish side in the first game.  Of course our boys got merked for 85 minutes :lol:

This is playing out like a game of FM.

 

"Your assistant informs you that your forward players are outnumbered"

 

"Jordan Henderson and Tom Cleverly are playing a more direct game than they are used to"

Big Geordie

Sounds garbage (listening on 5Live) Nailed on that Pearce will blame tiredness, rather than not being good enough which is the case.
