He is a natural 8, said so in his first interview when he signed. Only the idiot continually played as a #10 when blind freddy could see that wasn't where he was suited.
I am hoping Ernie shows a little intelligence and flexibility not to constantly park 2 defensive midfielders infront of a back four.
I don't see Brown as a 10 at all. But we had no other option last year besides maybe Clut. We are in desperate need of a creative mid.
Why don't we switch to a 4-4-2 or a 3-4-3 and negate the need for an Attacking Mid? I would rather see us sign one but we can get away without having a creative hub that other teams can mark out of the game. Hard working midfielders can help fill the void, lots of mongrel and all that.
But seriously, play with some width and try to give our slow thinking midfield more time on the ball? Just a thought, not anything worth reading too much into.
Really? Member is kind of right... we have played this style where we stick a winger completely isolated with zero support as wide as possible for years. All that Member appears to be suggesting is that you use the width as space to run into rather than starting out there and having half a field till your next support player in midfield.
yup agreed....Member is right here. Start of the year we transitioned quickly through the midfield and out to the wings and it worked. Then opposition teams started to figure us out and it devolved to long ball out to the wings against defenders who were ready for it. we need to get back to playing through there midfield
Go direct pommy style. It will work at this level. We'll score that many we'll have to throw some back.
Then when they stack a sweeper we go round the outside like a trailer pk girl.
