Tumshie 205 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I would say yes when Novo and Naismith came on we seemed to play a bit better although it was still well below the standard expected. Any thoughts??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,924 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 The template for team performances away from home had to be the last game of the season v Dundee Utd, blew them away, and would have gave most a doing with that set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 IMO 4-3-3 home and away! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdunsmb 43 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I'd rather we played it at home too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,203 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 We don't have the players to play a 4-4-2. People need to get over this backwards mindset that 4-3-3 is the a shite/defensive formation and realise that it is best formation in terms of getting the best out of our players.

Otis 1 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 4.3.3 is a must for us and should be played in most games to get the most out of our players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 We don't have the players to play a 4-4-2. People need to get over this backwards mindset that 4-3-3 is the a shite/defensive formation and realise that it is best formation in terms of getting the best out of our players. There's good grounds to that mind set considering Walter Smith's past with the 4-5-1 formation. If it's like pre-season then it's a different matter.

damien1 29 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Every team in that league is pish, we should be going 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary2006 123 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 it's the best option for our team.this team has proved time and time again 4 4 2 is not for them.every time we have played 4 3 3 we've played good passing attractive football if we started the game today with 4 3 3 we would have won easily. the only negative with the 4 3 3 is weir is left exposed and his lack of pace becomes a big problem for the team i noticed this today and i also noticed this during the second half of the scotland game when the holding midfielder was sustituted for a more attacking player the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu1993 101 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Chelsea Liverpool Arsenal and you could say Barca in a way play 4-5-1 most times. Its not defences, only thing its set up to be is more seccure to keep clean sheets. We have the players to play it in Naismith, Novo, Lafferty etc to play the formation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del 667 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I think its the formation we should play home and away tumsh! When we 1st played it people moaned,me included, because you need pace out wide so that the players can get back and help defend but then have the pace to get up and support the strikers! Right now we have Miller, Novo, Naisy, Fleck, Lafferty etc who can all play in that role so it makes sense to play it! I said in another thread that i thought we played 4-3-3/4-5-1 against Hearts,Falkirk and Hamilton and we looked good. Maybe Hearts is the exception but we did have 10 men for ages! 4-3-3 with the proper use of players and we are laughing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
