A narrow version just sounds worse to me. We got caught out a few times on Saturday with too many players being on the same side of the pitch with that lot only having to switch play to send our lot scrambling to catch them. From his initial statements Pedro made out he was a pragmatist who used whatever system best suited his players. That's not looked true but hopefully he's just finding his feet with this lot. If we go with a narrow 433 next season I'll need to see our results before watching games because I can't handle seeing us struggling to at least dominate most of the play against the likes of Motherwell. Sure I've seen at his previous clubs he played something similar. The fact he's played it the last 2 old firms as well as the Thistle game before hand doesn't bode well for people who don't like it Tbh I'll take us playing a 8-1-1 if it means getting results next season William McBeath 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barca do have top players I just think with average or poor players a 433 is too easy to exploit for better teams and players. It's why most teams with average players try and pack the midfield and make it more difficult for superior players and teams to beat them. Like we should have done on Saturday. 1690tamRFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did play a 4-3-3 first half on Saturday and the whole of last Sunday Pedro can come out and saying it's 4312 all he wants, the players were playing a 433 with Miller occasionally getting pissed off and chasing back 2nd half was more of a 4312, Windass pushed up and Miller went up top to replace Dodoo Naming 3 striker is just baffling Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they're some of the most laid back 'not really arsed' fans in the league. Maybe the contingent of Yesers, but apart from that they are pretty easy going. Sad to say that all is needed is a point (I think) to guarantee European football, and I'd happily take that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tavernator 279 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 4 hours ago, William McBeath said: I've been critical of the guy and would have rather had one of the other candidates but I can see how it would be difficult coming to a new country and trying to suss everything out. I'm willing to give him time as he's here now. I just hope we start to see signs of improvement before the season ends. Will be interesting to see who we sign as well. The main worry I have is that his way of playing is again too unrealistic for the money we can spend and we end up with another inferior version to what it is the guy wants as his ideal side. I suppose that's likely to be the case no matter who the gaffer is but with the likes of Walter or the Scots boys you know you'll get a side that is difficult to beat, never gives up, and punches above it's price. That's better and safer for me than ending up with a poor foreign type side. Time will tell and here is hoping that we've all jumped on the guy to soon. No doubt he's taking a lot of heat from our circus of a media up there and the rest of the obsessed so I'd fucking love it even more if the boy turned out to be a good one. Foreign type sides often thrash Scottish type sides. Scottish/British football is generally awful outside the top half of the EPL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the lower half clubs in the Portuguese or the other leagues outside the rich ones are very good. We have been beaten by some poor sides over the years but we have beaten plenty of them. Our sides would normally beat the bottom half clubs. Same with the reptiles who would no doubt beat them now that they have got rid of that mug Delia. Do you think teams like Boavista or Willem 11 would win our league? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
