100milesaway Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 For the first time this season, we need to see a team with a fighting spirit, a team that each individual knows his job, and is prepared to run his pods off for his team mates and the fans. And we need to see a manager play a line up that actually makes sense, with players operating in their natural positions. If we don't see all of the above, and we lose again, I fear that the managers job will be untenable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerves are a good thing etc. l hate the Romans but l want to see 30 gladiators tomoro on the pitch and in the dugout. if l don't l'm not fighting the tide anymore.

Pidge Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Did anyone else note the 5,4,1 formation Everton played yesterday? Maybe it’s an Everton idea rather then a DU idea. I’m guessing we will see it again today. Oh the excited anticipation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing wrong with playing a fluid 5-4-1 formation when out of possession that then switches to an attacking 4-3-3 when in possession. But to be successful, the transitions have to be quick and the players have to work hard. I think/hope that this is what we will see today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a monsoon with the deluge of rain this morning, looks like King Cnut you have stemmed the tide though and its going to be hopefully sunny for the rest of the day.

old codger Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I thought the consensus was that we have failed week in week out by playing 1 up front. I have sat and watched Reid fail again and again because he isn't any good when up front on his lonesome. So whatever happens today we must have two up front. Chelsea can play 4 3 3 but it requires effort and understanding with players who are brighter and more skilful than our squad. No doubt our tactical formation is based on previous experience at Everton but because I have not seen any evidence that our CDs can play three at the back I want four (excluding Sheron). This leaves 4 in the midfield so I am an old fashioned codger who rather likes 4 4 2 partly because our play has improved when Rhino, in desperation, has reverted to the old way of playing - as has been shown to work rather well by the Champions of the World. Our players are good enough. Rhino is just a sea anchor round their necks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlossopLatic Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 2 upfront looks like the boomers are getting their wish. On a more serious note with Fondop and Nuttall uptop then surely that means we are going direct (Cue Fondop playing right mid) Aslong as we stop allowing the opposition to play and dictate.
