JB Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Something needs to change at half time, switching back to the 4-3-3 that has worked so well for us would be a good idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 new tactics please, these ones aren't working Thing is, we generally always look like this at home against the poor teams. We shouldn't be playing Perch, that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The 4-3-3 system is really good for us when teams attack us, but it's not as effective against Bolton as we rarely are on the counter. We can't seem to cut through the amount of players Bolton keep back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Do you think a point is enough for Bolton? Bit risky if they don't go for it at 0-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 That's HBA back to his former old of his first games for us this season. Selfish. Not really. Bolton are compact around their 18 yard box. Long range efforts will be needed. Yes, but he should be having the eye for the team member instead of the eye for the goal at times really. He has been. If you get a chance to look at that play again look at what options he had. Ba and Cissé. Ba cut across him into the shooting lane. There wasn't a passing lane (outside of an audacious chip without the outside of foot over the defense to Ba). Cissé was also marked. Bolton are compact really right around their box. Passing lanes just aren't there. Only options are long range efforts to force them to close down quickly (which will open them up and create passing lanes), or to go down the flanks and get a cross in (Bolton have 2 meathead CBs to contest those crosses).

Guest andrew Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 time for changes- back to 4 3 3. Take off Ba and put Ferguson/Gosling on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Is it as s**** as people are making out? No, I think people have let the 4 wins on the bounce affect their expectations.. Disagree we have created f*ck all and its mainly because we are sitting deep at home and hoofing in 4-4-2 All to get Ba his goal, no one will tell me otherwise why else would we switch to 4-4-2 when 4-3-3 works so well. It gets the best out of Jonas, Cabaye, Ben Arfa etc etc..... It's f*ckin shit and should never be used ever again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Bolton are s****. But we totally lack energi and motivation. Cant see why but it must fall back at Pardew. The players walk around and look disinterested. Wish the crowd would do more to cheer our players forward! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Sounds bizarre but I'd love to see him swap R.Taylor for Simpson at HT and then switch the full back. They're doubling up on Ben Arda which leaves a lot of room for the full back but Simpson just isn't doing enough to be a threat. Santon going forward on the right would have plenty of room to attack.

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 4-3-3 Push Cabaye further forward Why the f*** has he changed it? One reason: Demba Ba very important to our chances of success imo They are not going to get behind us, they are playing Davies up on his own ffs Lets push on ..........................Perch............................ .............Cabaye.................Jonas............. HBA..................................................Ba .............................Cisse.......................... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukeboxromeo Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Comfortable first half, but I don't think we'll hold out for the whole game. Offered absolutely nothing going forward though, Mark Davies needs to get in the game more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 There was no excuse for us changing formation, it's that simple. I'm not saying we cant beat Bolton in 442 but we are much more threatening when we play 433. Pardew must change it. Cisse and Ba have been missing, as well as a handful of others. Very poor half.

Fair enough. If he scores or - as you say - opens up some space for the team members then it'll be allright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't be playing Perch, that's for sure. aye that's fine, no bother, just saying first 45 minutes we were very poor and couldn't break them down with the players and set up so it really needs changing it's not even a case that we should just keep plugging away and it'll come right in the end, it looks all wrong and the players don't look comfortable with it either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offered absolutely nothing going forward though, Mark Davies needs to get in the game more. I can't tell if he's talented, or is getting the Scott Parker effect of looking like a class player because he's surrounded by crap (West Ham last season).
