I'm saying in our easiest fixture, playing with defoe n davis or Candeias in the usual formation, we should be winning regardless. I'm saying I'd rather get they 2 up to speed in a game like this But it’s accomodating for the sake of it. We should go out n hammer st Mirren and then make changes.

That team all day long gets 3 points. Hopefully Gerrard has realised that. Bring Davis on for McCrorie and Defoe on for Kent/Candeias when we're 3 up. We need wingers imo, playing 2 up or even the diamond, means most of our attacks are through the middle and teams pack their defence, so we need the width to create spaces in their defence.

If we can make this formation work then it's a new option going forward. This kinda game is the perfect opportunity to try it while also getting players match fitness n sharpness up.

I think the diamond works but we lose natural width whilst also sacrificing a man in midfield as Defoe and Morelos won’t track back much Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could work today but I feel it becomes too congested and we have a cracking striker that leads the line perfectly himself allowing wingers to drag defenders wide in the 433. Hopefully defoe gets a hattrick tho n I eat my words lol We should be scuddin this shite 3-0 minimum regardless Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridgeIsBlue 66,612 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 The diamond didn't work at Rugby Park because we had 70 minutes to create more chances but we didn't. Even before their equaliser just about every chance we created was from a set piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee9 3,974 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I absolutely get the point people are making that the side should be the same as the livingston starting 11 however we must try and get morelos and defoe clicking. Its an ideal opportunity to go this way today. Really fancy us to give st mirren a real doing this afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the diamond works but we lose natural width whilst also sacrificing a man in midfield as Defoe and Morelos won’t track back much I'd stick with the 433 and the same 11 that started Livingston. But if the gaffer is insisting on Defoe and Morelos up front. It should be a flat 442. Allows us to keep that natural width that Kent and Candieas provide.

The Ibrox Derry 8,930 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Another must win. I think this weekend could see another change, as my gut feeling tells me the filth are going to drop points in Perth tomorrow. So we must win and keep the pressure on. 3 points nothing less.

IMO defoe and Morelos will not work together as our strongest starting team, Morelos is better up top by himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAvenger 10,284 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 The players have to be up for it and play well. We can't be complacent and can't afford any slip ups.

I just feel if ever there was a day for 442 it's today. I would play morelos up top away from home but at home no reason why we shouldn't be going with the 2 top. Let's see how they get on today mate. People seem to be writing then off as a partnership after 70 mins of competitive football.....madness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it would be better to play 3-5-2 with the fullbacks getting up to support the front two if they go two up top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 22,859 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Stick to what works and stop fannying about to accommodate Davis and Defoe. Against teams with fourteen behind the ball we need WIDTH FFS! Bring them on when the game is won. Arfield or Davis? Morelos or Defoe? Both times, the man in possession for me, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start with 4-3-3 and if you get 2 or 3 goals up then you bring on defoe either for Morelos if he's knackered or on a yellow or you get them playing together up top.

He best be prepared to change it up in the first half if things aren't going well though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

6superbarry6 14,159 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Get the diamond to fuck if rumoured team selection is right, fucking changing our team selection at our own players detriment to accommodate loan players is baffling, Katic > Worral McCrorie > Davis and Morelos > Defoe, until these can prove they’re better than what we have then they shouldn’t be in the side simple as that.
