Play a 4-4-2!

[RFCsince1690 5]

I reckon we should play a 4-4-2 tomorrow night and attack from the off. They won't expect it, they'll think they have us sussed from Old Trafford and we should exploit it. We've seen from Aberdeen how strong we are in attack and I don't think this Turkish mob are any better than us, if not worse. My team would be:

McGregor

Whittaker Weir Bougherra Papac

Naismith Davis McCulloch Weiss

Miller Beattie

See what happens! Worst is, we fall a goal behind and then if so we can change the system, bring on Edu for Beattie. But we're never going to win the Champions League, so why not have a go! I reckon we're a lot better than we try and make out!

[milleniummanp7 24]

It won't happen :/

Beattie

If we were playing a 4-4-2, Lafferty

[Bakoni 28]

Maybe if Jelavic was available.

[King_gazza 1,065]

Beattie wont be fit till the weekend

[Broxi 11,484]

if we play 442 id honestly go with lafferty

defo dont want beattie up front in this big a match yet

[Papa Sasac 164]

I'd settle for 4-5-1 actually, but if we were more attacking. Stability in the middle and at the back, Weiss MUST start on the wing to offer a threat.

[Broxi 11,484]

or naismith

[skinnymate1690 624]

i like the idea of going 4-4-2 but i think our defence is to shakey to risk imo

[bluenose4life 5]

4-5-1 can turn to 4-3-3- very easy so we can attack with 3 and defend with 5

[andy500 463]

A nice 4-3-3 would suit me.

[PaulRFC1 115]

Its European football, its rare to see a 4-4-2 work successfully in Europe.

The way forward is a 4-5-1 converting into a 4-3-3 regardless of who we play.

[Papa Sasac 164]

A nice 4-3-3 would suit me.

I think we'll see that team, but both formations of that team are pretty much the same anyway.

[1872 3]

Beattie has got no where near th match fitness to start in a champions leauge game, if it would to happen i would go with Laffery

[GaryMc 2,394]

5-2-2-1 all the way for me.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,775]

4-5-1 for me.

As far as European competition goes, the 4-4-2 is all but dead.

[SirWalterSmithLegend 206]

Simply not going to happen, 4-5-1 is most likely formation which should still be enough to win.

[Bonkgers 3]

If we play 4-4-2 we will get pummelled again, has to be 4-5-1 as Walter really struggles in the Champions League if we dont play that formation.

[LegendofCoop 17,273]

I reckon it might be something like 4-4-1-1: -

:mcgregor:

:broadfoot::bougherra::weir::papac:

:whittaker::davis::mcculloch::weiss:

:miller:

I think that's our best shot. Either that or he'll drop Weiss, play Naismith at LM and have Davis behind Miller, with Edu in front of the back four!

Edit: try as I might, I just can't get this formation to look anything other than a cross.......sorry!

[ScottBF2 3,540]

Naismith and Miller are the first 2 names on the teamsheet.

4-5-1 from the off. No pumpings this year, just respectable results - win lose or draw.

[mmrfc1873 48]

8-1-1, nobody would get through that, NOBODY !!!

[real boydie9 17,606]

Think Walter will go 4 5 1 and for once I back him if he does, maybe if :jelavic: was available it might have been a 4 4 2 although you just dont know what Walter will pull out the bag.

[simplythebest 11,453]

Don't want Lafferty starting and no way Beattie will be fit.

4-5-1/4-3-3 but it has to be more attacking than Old Trafford.
