Ok, let's say he's going nowhere, what team should he play to give us a fighting chance?

 

For me, we must stop conceding goals, if that means defensive play thn so be it.

 

451

 

Any two centre backs, ie Cahill if he stops

 

Boyata out, a loan player does not have the fight and determination to keep us up. So steinsson back in

 

Muamba in and NRC in the middle and they need to be defensive side of the ball at all times. None of this box to box shite.

 

Mavies ahead of them supporting the front man. With minimal defensive responsibility.

 

Ngog has the best all round game of our 3 forwards so he'd be loan striker. He's strong, quick and can hold it up. Not sure how many goals hell get though.

 

Petrov and eagles wide, no other options really. And as much as I don't rate either , they have created more goals than any other players

 

Fullbacks not bombing forward either, we need to be disciplined

 

I know we need 3 points in games, but we a need a solid foundation, to gain a bit of confidence in the next couple of away games. I reckon. Couple of away 0-0's would do us a world of good.

 

Oh and NRC as captain. I think the responsiblty would up his game.

Oi you. Cheeky cunt

Thats the exact same set up I have been wanting for weeks now. Apart from the bit about not allowing the full backs to go forward, it seems pretty spot on to me. We need to limit the goals we're conceding, as if we could go two or three games unbeaten the confidence will surely grow.

Would happily go with that at Fulham

Everyone on here can see that is the way forward. I just don't understand why Owen can't.

that's the one....someone get up to the training ground and hand it to him Monday

but what about notsosuper kev?

Agree with the majority of this, especially the 451 part. Managers talk a lot about playing "between the lines". Our 442 has become the lines for the opposition to play inbetween.

 

We need solidity, so 451 would be a start.

We need to start on the basis of getting clean sheets so for that reason i 100% agree

but what about notsosuper kev?

 

he can join the reebok rythmn

It will though be 4-4-2 and I think he would start Petrov at right back before Steinsson.

 

I agree with most of the points but I think we need someone a bit more defensive in front of Robinson.

3 man midfield allows the 2 defensive midfielder to also protect the fullbacks when needed. Certainly less reliant on the wide men tracking back

Its a 4-5-1 for me as well, would like to see Ricketts back in the back line somewhere, hopefully Boyatta will get up to speed quick as he was average yesterday, we need 2 defensive midfielders sitting tight infront of the back 4 so that Muamba a must and coker, Mark Davies has to have a free role in the hole behind the lone striker, I also think that despite his poor form I thnk Kev Davies could give us a bit of solidity on the right or left especially away from home, with the 2 defensive midfielders I would risk a Petrov or a kakuta on either the right or left and just because I feel he deserves a run I am going with Kakuta.

 

Jussi

 

Boyata Cahill Knight Riketts (if fit)

 

Muamba Coker

 

Kakuta Mark Davies K.Davies

 

Ngog

Fucking hell, Homer's missing Diddles so much he's turned into him.

but what about notsosuper kev?

 

SKD can GTF

Well he could for a start watch videos of the next opposition, and work on their weakness, then with the analysis work out how to exploit said weaknesses, it's not rocket science, but I guess table tennis takes up too much of of his time to watch videos, bless him.

Absolutely right cannot remember us targeting the weakness of any team, look at Stoke yeserday the game plan was to close them down as soon as they had the ball not allowing them the time to play stop the midfielders getting the time to get the ball out to the wingers, 2 solid lines 5 in the defence and 3 midfielders playing deep to cut the space down in and around the box, then when they had the ball get it into the box quickly and feed off the scraps from Crouch knock downs, not pretty but very effective and Spurs were all at sea. It really is time to cut our losses I still think Coyle might not be here by the end of this week.

Seen on ssn, coyles suggestion is play without fear

 

I really believe the man seriously cant see what the actual problem is.

Good God, we are soo fucked.

Coyle has already admitted behind closed doors that he doesnt know what else to do.

 

We are fucked until he goes imo. When the going gets tough you need a tough manager but sadly Coyle is a fanny.

Just curious, how do you know this? Were you behind those closed doors?

I wasnt there myself obviously but i know somebody who was.

A different starting XI each week suggests you're right btw.

 

I wonder which names he'll randomly pull out of the bag for the next game.

I think the biggest mistake Coyle has made is having his mates behind him on the backroom staff rather than a quality coach who can give a valid input. Look at all the top managers, they all have a decent right hand man who isnt afraid to step in and tell them when they think they are wrong. Coyle has got the muppet show with him on the bench so that makes it even harder for him.

 

I would love it if Coyle could somehow turn it around but i just think he is out of his depth at this level. Its cut throat at Premiership level but he is just too nicey nicey. Some managers by now would of knocked seven bells out of the players for letting him down but Coyle just hasnt got that fire in him. Encouragment will only get people so far, sometimes they need to be told they are fucking shit and they need to pull their finger out.
