The thing is, a lot of teams have got wise to playing against “the Barca style”. City do well with it because they’ve got £100 million players playing for them. A monkey could manage them.
There’s nothing better than 2 up front and crosses whizzed across the box and finished off. Latics? I really think we are awful and even if we did bring a new guy in, he’s got a hell of a job to turn this bunch into something half decent. We let so many players go at the end of last season, and have now let Hughes go as well, we are so weak.
It doesn’t even have to be 442 we play. We could just play one winger and put 3 in the midfield, tighten it up. Even play a CDM…Scott Smith perhaps? Matt Smith and Thelo in front of him and then the two strikers up front as a L and R pairing…maybe one playing as a target man for the other playing off him. (Get Matthieu Smith in. He’s available, without a club)
Nothing makes me think Maloney will try any of this though.
