Pilko Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Tell Mitrovic that if he fires us to promotion the shirt is his next year. Leave it for now imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antz1uk Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 This has the potential to be like the season we went up under Keegan, I'd let the two main strikers fight it out, especially if he's looking to add another quality one to the ranks, otherwise let Gayle and Mitro shows who's worthy, might give them both a ruthless streak in the 92/93 season David Kelly got 24 league goals and Andy Cole got 12 in the last 11 games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 If we had a very attacking LB with good delivery to provide width and Gayle going more centrally it could work.  Paul Dummett it is then.  I like Dummett and there's no doubt that he's more than good enough when it comes to defending, especially at this level I also feel that an attacking LB would give us another dimension, especially now when teams are likely so sit back a lot more. Not sure what setup Rafa will go with, but i doubt that it will be a classic 4-4-2 at least. IF Mitro for example plays as our focal point and Gayle and another player in wide positions then it's very likely that there wont be as much service to Mitro from the flanks with two not so good attacking FB's making forward runs very often and providing width and balls in to the box. Having one or two good offensive full backs would enable the wide players go in to more central positions without losing that important width. We could have more players in the box when the ball gets there. FB's high up the pitch gives other players more space. Having two offensive FB would be even better, as it makes us less predictable. You could see last season when basically every attack started on our right hand side and that made it easy for the opposition to nullify us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Considering Rafa has used 4231 since the dawn of time I think that's a fairly safe bet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Even though Rafa will know what he's doing I'm always worried by these comments about playing strikers out wide. People like Theo Walcott fine, but Gayle strikes me more as someone who makes little darting runs between defenders in and around the box. Not sure what point I'm trying to make but I think managers sometimes try to have their cake and eat it by playing one up front but shoehorning more strikers in elsewhere. Â This absolutely. The downside of 4231 is only playing one striker and asking others to play in positions they are uncomfortable with. If Mitro is going to play the forward role, them Gayle and Ayoze are both probably going to play wide, neither are wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Mitrovic. Hate the idea of leaving numbers empty because they've been overly mythologised. Plus I just prefer to see our starting players wearing normal numbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Not sure how high on Mitro Rafa is. Seemed to start Cisse ahead of him a number of times. Think he wants more pace up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 It might help him grow up a bit. Might sound daft but dropping the 45 might help him drop some of the baggage and giving him the number 9, where he's already spoken about wanting it, etc. might help him move to the next stage of his career.
