You need an outlet, pm George he can let you into a little secret.

Lad who sits with us lot mentioned about Alonso being more midfield than full back would suit him more than traditional left back,

I wouldnt have a problem with that, we played the best football under Allardyce when we went that way.

WTF??

We never went that way under FSA

3 at the back is an awful way of playing football IMO

 

Plus you need proper wing backs who can get up and down time after time.

 

Sign Gareth bale and Kyle walker then maybe we could try it

3-5-2 is so 1996

 

Aren't villa doing it currently?

 

Not fer me

 

You'd be dropping eagles/lee for alonso/mears

 

And we never Played that way under fat Sam!

Full backs did a good job yesterday in supporting the wingers. I'm not a fan of playing 2 holding midfielders but it does allow the full backs to get involved. Our first goal yesterday being the perfect example.

The whole point of 4231 with a narrowerer midfield is to allow the full backs to press on forward. The Two midfield sitters then cover the fullback should they become exposed. The only time FSA ever played with 3 centre halves/ 5 at the back was in the last 10 mins trying to protect a lead

wigan played 3 at the back v Villa. 3-4-3 I think

 

havent the interest in football to know if thats their standard formation

Lots of Italian sides use a back three, including Fiorentina, Napoli, Roma and Inter.

 

Dougie is supposed to love his calcio.

good for his bones and teeth

He'll need one to add up the goals conceded column.

Wigan play 3 at the back more often than not.

Alonso is a good footballer just cant defend for toffee. He would be better further forward. Has good control a sweet left foot and is a great option on set pieces with that melon on his neck.

Aye, they play like no other team

 

They also have wingbacks to play that formation

 

Which is fair enough

 

But they are still shit.

 

 

Oh and more often than not its 5 at the back and 1 up top so 343 becomes 541

 

Can you imagine the outcry.

 

Folk still moan at 433 saying its more like 451

it was the same under FSA, it was 433 when we were attacking but such was fluidity of the midfield that quickly became a 451 when under pressure

will you send this explanation to Tyrone mears please. he clearly doesn't know what he is doing. his movement off the ball was awful. we would have scored a couple more first half if he had a decent rb who moved into the space created by eagles/lee.

The slagging of mears is uncalled for. He is not cafu but neither is he as shit as the boo boys make out

He's fucking dreadful

 

He's he ever had a good game for us?

Mears is piss poor, Joe Riley must be horrific if he cant dislodge this cunt.

How many times does mears run down a blind alley then just pass the ball backwards

 

He never makes a recent run with or without the ball

 

He always out if position defensively

 

I'm not actually sure what he's good at.

 

I guess he's reasonable at keeping possession and he's pretty committed in the challenge

Exactly as I thought. Someone has to bear the brunt of the fans.
