N.A.G.A.S Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Krul Simpson Coloccini Santon Taylor Gosling Cabaye Jonas Ben Arfa Ba Shola At first I was thinking: "here we go again..." But actually. This isn't the most mad suggestion people have been putting in this thread. You would effectively have 5 at the back when defending and you'd have all 3 of our most attacking players on the pitch. So long as the wide men are disciplined and HBA drifts to either wing there's no reason why it couldn't be effective. There's no way we'll see it at the weekend though. It's the sort of thing you'd have to commit to for a whole season, and even then you'd expect results to drop before seeing any benefits. I know someone (I think simpson on twitter?) said they'd been training with 5 at the back, but I'd be very surprised if there's a change from 4-4-2; players need consistency to perform.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yeah, it's not a bad formation at all, just wonder about the effect of suddenly making such a dramatic change. Could work, maybe swap Taylor and Santon over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Think we'll win too but there's more than 3 goals in it. Said 2 - 4 earlier and if we start with a positive front six and try to control and attack we'll give their defence, which on a good day is about as solid as ours is bound to be, no end of problems.

Dr Venkman Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Us to concede in the first half, equalise in the second,then give HBA 15 mins to win it by himself and finish 1-1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Its going to be very interesting to see what Pards will do IF Colo does miss out. Perch in for Taylor will be the only change at the back if Colo is fit and Gosling in for Guthrie, but will he go for two target men up top and drop HBA as its away from home and we have a weakened side. He tends not to like them sitting back though, home or away he likes us to be on the front foot so I expect it to be. ------------------Krul Simo-----Perch-------Colo/Kadar------RTay Ober------Cab-----------Gos----------Jonas --------------------------HBA -------------Ba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'd actually be more confident about this game if Colo plays but I'd rest him if he's 50-50 to make it. I'll trust the physios and Colo to make the right choice though. In the meantime, it's going to be quite a nervous day tomorrow imo and that's really down to our injury issues in defence.

ScottishMagpie Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Hate to sound like I'm putting pressure on him but this is the kind of game I would expect a talent like Ben Arfa to really dominate.... Or is it still to early for him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Funny how people scoffed at my team selection on Monday that included Abeid and Santon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Not even sure AP rates Gos either. I'd like to see: Ober - Cab - Abeid - Jonas or HBA - Cab - Abeid - Jonas But the latter will never happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I've got a feeling that he'll drop HBA for this and go: Krul Simpson Colo Perch Raylor Obertan Cabaye Abeid Jonas Ba Best/Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
