aussiemag Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 History is being reinvented. During that great spell towards the back end we were alternating formations throughout the match 442 443 4231 because we had that flexibility. We beat Swansea and Chelsea playing a more rigid 442 though. And Wigan whipped us when we started out playing 4231. Swansea was 4-2-3-1, Cabaye in behind Cisse, threading through 2 beautiful balls.

Cronky Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Regardless of the formation, you should try and avoid playing two centre forward-types IMO. That's the issue with Ba and Cisse. One of them is bound to lose some effectiveness if you play them together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATB Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 If I could choose I would not play Cisse and Ba togheter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Swansea was 4-2-3-1 as i remember Cisse and Ba took it in turns to fill in on the left. Chelsea however was 442. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Ba shone when he had Best/Shola next to him to win balls in the air and do a lot of chasing and harrying. Since Cisse arrived Ba hasn't had that kind of player next to him resulting in the loss of form. Makes me wonder what Ba and Carroll would look like playing together.........

Yeah Swansea was 4-2-3-1 as i remember Cisse and Ba took it in turns to fill in on the left. Chelsea however was 442. swansea when they had the ball was very much a 4-5-1 often with cabaye being the furthest forward pressuring the short ball from centre half to leon britton.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I've noticed Ba seems to be very careful in what he says... or at least that's the way it seems, he never actually comes out and says that hes definitely staying regardless of other clubs come knocking or not, he just says hes happy and that no other clubs have came in for him yet... this way if say Man Utd came knocking, he could leave and still not have lied about it, if you notice every quote hes made about staying is the same, hes not ruling anything out. Probably very smart tbh after the whole Carroll saga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I've been convinced for a while that he's staying. Can see no reason why he would leave, footballing reasons-wise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiLvOR Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Trying not to let myself get too wound up by this, if he stays great, but if he decides to go then I just hope we can get an adequate replacement in. Carroll transfer really made me quite numb tbh so I never rule anything out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 No idea. If the clause is as straight forward as some thing you would assume any interested club would have moved by now. It's not like they are haggling for a price or whatever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
