If Liverpool get a early goal the etihad faithful will be as flat as a whistle.
Be more empty than normal. Only show up for utd.
Donny, grigg has himself stated that he prefers to play as a lone striker as opposed to being in a partnership.Nonsense. He would be better in a 4-4-2 with a big lump of a centre forward who can win headers as the ball is pumped forward from the keeper and the centre backs.
Play offs are a lottery I don’t want us to go down that route. We should still be looking at automatic promotion though I’m beginning to fear we will lose out on the title. Fair play to Blackburn they have fabulous strikers and they get the best from them said it before Charlton will have a big say in this.
Plus they play two strikers week in week out something that has become alien to Latics since we started this trend with the mighty Jason Scotland.
As others say though we aren’t doing too bad with it this season but that’s probably more down to the board keeping some decent players together rather than any system. After the boards faith we shouldn’t be expecting anything less than second. Third would be an absoloute disasterous failure.[/quote]
No they don’t!More often than not they play 4231 – exactly the same as us!
Donny, I know you want 4-4-2, with wingers, and smacking the ball forwards, but let it go. It’s not going to happen![/quote]
But that was what worked in 1962 Standish walker.
Let it go donny. He gave the sauad a break after a busy start and before a busy period. Be crying about the accy game next
When Vaughan was on we left him up front on his jacks deciding to play the ball through the middle to him and starving him.
So at 2-0 down and under 30minutes to go wouldn’t 2up front bin the best option ?, no Cook decides to remain with one up front by bringing Grigg on and ? Start knocking it long. Now if Vaughan had of been on upsides Grigg im sure we’d have grabbed a point.Powell was still bringing the ball from the half way line till Cook decides to bring Roberts 15mins after Grigg had come on then Roberts ends up crossing the ball for Griggs goal.
My point been, were 2-0 down so for me 2up front was the way to go with 25 to go, either Grigg/Vaughan or Grigg/Roberts or Roberts/Vaughan
Massey ? What’s his role ??, im lost
Elder ?, liability,
But if theres one humongous problem we have
No pace or width what so ever, weres the scotch lad we bought ?, seems another waste along with Cole.
MacDonald ?
James ?
Fulton ?
Cole ?
Our bench bar Grigg was ultra light to say the leastHow can the bench be light with 3 subs of Grigg who scored. Roberts who crossed and Coco who everyone seems to think should have started and the Scots lad you referred to (Walker)was on the bench too?[/quote]
No variation thats the bench problem and I seem to remember Walker was never used so I could sit there if needed be. In times gone by I always seem to remember we would have a game turner sat on the bench whether it be Moses, Vilchut someone who could come on with 1-15 to go and inject some pace into the game, light the touch paper.
Granted as I point out, Roberts set Grigg’s goal up but had he come on 15 minutes earlier would the outcome been any different ?, I would like to think it would due to his impact on the game.
At 1-0 down fair play, Grigg on nick a goal, grab a point I can see the point to that but we were 2-0 down ! Vaughan should have never left the field. For me Cook has to shoulder a fair chunk of the blame purely on the basis of his team selection (Massey been one Jacobs not far behind) and the timing the subs. He needs to risk take at the right times and get someone with some fookin pace for Christ sake !![/quote]No variation? Every position was covered, what more do you want? We had a CB, Striker, CM, AM and 2 wingers.
How the **** is Paul Cook being criticised here?? Everything is still in OUR hands and I bet Blackburn would snap your hands off for that as opposed to relying on other results.
We win a game and this boards dead apart from the odd post that everyone will drop points.
We lose and everyone comes on saying how we have blown it and the other 2 will go on a 500 game winning run. Get a f****** grip.
Donttalk stupid. Every time a lower league side beats a top side they pitch invade and the cameras love it
