Means we have a classic strike partnership but also only 3 starters from last years team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we still need to wait until the window closes to know exactly what we have, but I don't think his formations at the end of last season will hold any clues as he was basically trying to get the best out of the shite he had. Whatever he uses there's no doubt he'll have a plan B in order as it's clear he's not shy of chopping and changing when need be. Hopefully we don't need to hear about plan a, b etc. again! Had enough of hearing that from the last pretender picking our teams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil1418 60 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I've got a feeling he'll have somebody in to give Tav a bit of a run for his place in the team, no source just a feeling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he lives up to the expectation, of course. what expectation? We didn't exactly beat loads of clubs to clinch his signature I would lower our expectations for next season. I definitely think we will improve but I still don't think we will ultimately win the league. Goes without saying that I hope these words get rammed down my throat but I'm keeping my expectations at a subdued level Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also not realistically expecting to win the league next season, even though that'll always be our aim. But as you said, hopefully any doubt we have will be proved wrong. I do have a better feeling about this season, though, from what I did when the season ended and we hadn't yet signed anyone - it's good to see Pedro getting his first targets.

Main thing giving me hope this year is the fact Pedro seems to have sorted the defence out,compare that to Warburton last year scraping the barrel at the last minute then panic buying fucking Senderos Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually made a lot of really good saves that kept us in games at times. The shit Wes gets when he had a cluster fuck of a defence in front of him is something that really gets on my goat. Alright he can improve at his corners and going for the ball I have the arse with that but he made some great instinct saves since he has been here. every keeper makes a mistake though and it will be over egged by the fans as it is the worst thing that can happen when your keeper fucks up and they score, but what about the other 10 people in front of him, were they trying to help?

WGOH 2,344 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I want us to play 3-5-2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
denya 1,661 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Foderingham in goal, the defence of Tavernier, Alves, Cardoso and Wallace. The forwards of Herrera and Morelos for big target striker and quicker player to play off of him. The only area I am not sure about is the midfield and the formation of this.

Malkytfp1 18,479 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I like the idea of two up top. Its ok creating and getting the ball out to the wings but we did that enough last season and were simply popping the ball into the box where one striker was against 2 or 3 defenders. Both Hererra and Merelos look like the type of players who work well with someone alongsode them up top where i think Kenny will be useful. Also see a lot of people mentioning Dalcio in the starting 11 but i'm worried he is another Dodoo. Hasnt featured much for anyone and apparently he is more of a midfielder than out and out winger. Hopefully Jamie Walker arrives and fills one of the wide roles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I think he has shown already he's interchangeable even during games. I would suggest he will play 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 more often than not but I reckon Morelos and Herrera may strike a partnership and force him to go with two up top.

Squad supplemented with the likes of Dodoo, Holt, Baronjas, Bates, Beerman. Looks decent. I assume the extra man behind the striker is the fans egging herrera on? :V Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanderbear 55 Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I have read Pedro's preferred formation is 4-4-2 (6) which is known as having a double 6. Google it for info Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see it being that if Pedro wants to play the wide game with the likes of candeias and potentially walker signing on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google it for info The double 6 has two sitting midfielders effectively a 4-4-2 with 2 DMs where one is the water carrier as they say and the other gets further forward. Arsenal were well rebound for playing it with Petit/Gilberto and Vieira i read that Caixinha liked that but everything last year suggested 4-2-3-1 or some variation of that. As others have said the thing that leads me to believe the formation will be different is the signing of two different strikers who I don't think either are coming to make up the numbers.

I think last year he was utilizing players he inherited who couldn't get to grips with his tactics or were not able to. This season it's his players chosen for his system so I'd guess its 4-4-2 double 6 either CM can be holding or be attacking, hence the term double as both can do either job.
