DarcheVinny 1,003 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 So since Sunday and before, everyone over various threads shares their input how they would do things, or pick someone in various scenarios we've witnessed. So I thought I'd share how I'd use our current squad, based on no injuries etc. It's your squad, your tactics, how do you play? I do play FM - as many do and are criticised for making comments based on too much FM! So lets see a bit of detail and see what everyone would do.Domestically (that doesn't include vs the tims), I'd line up like thisMcGregorBroadfoot Bougherra Bartley PapacWhittaker Davis Ness NaismithDiouf JelavicAlexanderFosterWeirWeissMcCullochEduLaffertyDefence - My thinking behind having Broadfoot at RB is not only to free Whitty to play in midfield but to allow Boughy more freedom to gallop down the right/left and overlap Whitty/Davis/Naisy, at which point Kirky/Sasa can tuck in without and prevemt us being exposed as well as maximising Boughys attacking ability. Also Bartley in favour of Weir, I know we haven't seen him yet, but I'm making an uninformed decision that he will be far more mobile than Davie as well as being defensively sound.Midfield - At first look it shows Whitty at RM, Dayvo at CM and Naisy at LM. I would have all of these three inter-changeable, allow them to roam and swap positions in attack to keep things fresh and the opposition guessing. That shouldn't leave us open to counters from the opposition as there will always be someone in any position.Attack - Jelavic a target man with Diouf able to roam anywhere in the pitch, Midfield can run on past him with 1-2's etc.Bench - Plenty of options there.vs the tims or a European optionMcgregorBroadfoot Bougherra Papac WhittakerDavis McCulloch NessNaismith ------------------- DioufJelavicAlexanderFosterBartleyEduWeissLaffertyHealyDefence - Be a more solid and less adventurous backline, with Boughy less freedom to go galloping down the flanks. Whitty and Papac can still push on but not always at the same time if there's two opposing strikers.Midfield - The three can become a five in defence, with wide pair tucking in allowing us to pack the midfeild. A midfeild three that can be very combative without losing composed passers and players of the ball. In attack Davis and Ness can both press on and link up with Jelly and wide pairing. I do like a holding midfield players in these games and think Jig is the best for that (tin-hat moment).Attack - pretty self explanatory, Jelavic the target man and doing the role we tried to get Kenny to do in Europe this season. Wide pair can pull wide and create room for midfield three to push on on the counter.Bench - again, plenty of options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DietofWorms 2,077 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 My tuppence worth is:- McGregor. Whittaker Bougherra Weir Papac Weiss Davis Naismith Ness Diouf JelavicI'd play Naismith in the middle for his work rate and bite and Davis and Ness can cover in behind if he bombs on to link with Jelavic..also Weiss and Diouf can switch wings and give the opposing full backs lots to think about.

Zulu 990 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 What surprises me about some of these selections is the inclusion of Weir this guy has been a good servant but has now gone away past his best playing a guy at 40 years of age it would laughable if it wasnt so fucking sad.

Ness is already getting criticized for things he can't do yet - so are you really going to stick someone from the youths or an unknown lone signing in the center of our defence. I don't think it's a coincidence that whoever plays next to Weir looks comfortable until they get their big move and end up playing at R or L fullback instead.
