Fod Keirnan, Senderos, Hill Tav Wallace Windass Halliday Holt Miller Dodoo But the manager has been quoted as saying 'always 433' Did he not try something similar to this at Easter Road last season and changed back to 4-3-3 during the first half?

No he changed at the 60 minute mark when he made the double sub. I remember that game and we started off poorly but he kept the formation until we were all over them at the start of the second half and then he decided to change it.

ready1873 3,864 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Foderingham/Gilks Tavernier Hill Kiernan Wallace Holt Halliday Windass Miller Waghorn O'Halloran Kranjcar cant start this, he's too fancy as proven at the tattiedome and the sheep. Waghorn out wide is a pure waste, has to start through the middle, let Miller do the wide work. O'Halloran will stretch them and could be invaluable on the counter. And I wouldn't play Senderos as for me, he is a completely broken man. Looks a shadow of his old self. Warburtons team and approach will be predictable tho.

ChampionsAgain 1,373 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Ideal line up for me would be Fod Tav Keirnan Hill Wallace Halliday Rossister Holt Windass Miller McKay Tav and Wallace playing extremely high to provide width and Windass and McKay moving centrally to almost play behind Miller and pack the midfield. We need to play a high pressing game like we done all last season and not give them a second on the ball. Force them into rash descisons and play at a high tempo, we take a goal off them early and keep up the high pressure they will buckle . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games a Bogey MOH had been frozen out but I think this could be a good game for him, He can get in behind any team with his pace. Would drop Mckay for him. Dodoo on the other side again with his pace. Then Waghorn through the middle. Bring on the Evergreen miller second half for his usual goal against them. Corner is and always seems to be the defence. Do we play Haliday and Crooks have them both sit a little deeper. Pretty much match them for tactics Wilsons injured, and Senderos isnt the answer for me. Hill and kiernan are the best we have available. Still cant understand why we never kept Gasporotto. Surely better than we've got. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have Haliday Holt Windas in front of them. Then just as much pace as we have in the front 3. Control the ball and break fast. Midfield Runner in Holt. Windass looks like he is a powerful runner with the ball. Now just to find some one in the team that can finish! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromDeAnglais 5,446 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 To be fair, Niko out of this game isn't a huge miss IMO. He's the type of player that needs time on the ball to create a wee bit of magic to open up a defence, one thing you never get in an old firm game is time on the ball - expecially in midfield.

BLUEDIGNITY 33,610 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Don't really think this would be his type of game anyway, this will be a hundred miles an hour, I think the pressure will be on them honestly, in their wee heads they'll be thinking about a treble, make no mistake they will so if Rangers get in about them and upset their midfield we will sneak the win, the pressure is on them !

delamonty 992 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 When we beat them in the SC semi, we played them off the pitch in the first half. That wasn't because they played badly... we were a level above them. We controlled the pace, the ball and made things happen with our possession. Before Kenny scored, he had a great chance as well. We need to control the pace of the game and not give them a sniff. After 15 mins or so, their idiot 'fans' will get on their back since they have no doubt that their 'world class' players should hump us 10-0. We win this if we play the way we can. I hate to say this but with Niko being out.. who knows... a shake up in midfield might help? pollok-bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
