3-5-2?

Mon Aug 27, 2012 1:56 pm

Maybe a possibility for us as we dont have the best full-backs about, malky can still play his preferred 3 in the centre of midfield, and the fans can have what they want with two out and out wingers and two strikers. Not sure what players we would play but maybe something like this...

---------------------------------------------------------Marshall---------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------Connolly---------------------Hudson---------------------Turner-----------------------------

----------------------------------------Gunnarson--------------------Mutch--------------------------------------------

------Smith-----------------------------------------Whittingham-----------------------------------------KimBo------

----------------------------------------Helguson--------------------Bellamy---------------------------------------------

Subs: Lewis, Kev/Taylor, Conway/Cowie, Kiss/Ralls, Etien, Mason, Earnie.

A lot of teams play with 1 upfront so why have 3 CB's marking 1 player? Man city tried it yesterday and it dont work.. you have Kim bo & Smith as wing backs, these or attacking players

I really think we need a ball winner infrint of back four and unfortunately I think gunnarson is leaving us a little light in that department along with whitts. I feel kiss is should be given a chance to play there.

Mason, Bellamy smith
Kimbo whitts
Kiss
Taylor turner Hudson Kev

At the moment gunner and whitts arnt breaking up play in midfield and there's no protection for the defence kiss puts is foot in and is ideal on this position leaving limbo and whitts in front of him with Bellamy and smith on flanks and can drop back of necessary, play ball on the floor and don't need a target man.

Dont think 3 at the back works, very rarely anyway.
