GOAT 30,449 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Ever think we’ll see both on the pitch at the same time? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kanjo 26,490 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Honestly I don’t think they are able to. Any time they have they looked to cancel each other out. Could be wrong though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 55,390 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 If we're chasing a game maybe but tbh the current formation is working well. ForeverAndEver and gmcf 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
born a blue nose 92,708 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Doubt it unless we're really chasing a game, even then it would probably get overcrowded and be unworkable. Both quality though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakbear 3,586 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Doubt it. Two players, one position. I am happy with one replacing the other. Whichever way they start it must be a depressing sight for a defender to see one go off and the other choking to get on.

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 No, they just don’t work when they are together. But by fuck what a headache to have when Stevie picks the team and he can keep both of them fresh for the whole season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 If we're chasing a goal and needing to throw everything forward probably apart from that no, as much of a dilemma as there is we can't play around with a system that works for us Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 25,617 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Id love us to try a 352 with them up front, the times we have tried it either one was slightly out of position (morelos away to killie) or we're chasing a game against 11 men defending like fuck Ozblue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were to play two up top I don’t think they would be the best partnership. They will both shoot 9 times out of 10 And only pass to each other if they absolutely have to Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman36 3,477 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 if we put both on the pitch at the same time they will repel each other like magnets and so will essentially be wingers. Need lafferty back for this to work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 15,606 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Yip, they’ll both be on the pitch celebrating the title at the end of the season. WilliamMunny, frenv and oldbear 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 36,807 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Don’t need it tbh. It’s better this way as they’re both pushing each other like fuck. Defoe knows the game inside out and knows he’ll no be able to play every game. His form however is riling Alfredo to the point where he’s coming on desperate to score and do everything he can to win the game. It’s absolutely quality to watch Garnock Blue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterC 12,759 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Today was the day to try that out, perhaps in conjunction with @Jimbeamjunior 352 formation Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElBufalo20 8,160 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Probably not but Morelos could play wide if we were desperate but I imagine we’d never be in that position Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Soprano 22,428 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 No. But Defoe has had a massive impact on Alfie. Bears r us, Heshootshescores, bigblueyonder and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudrup1984 25,100 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 It's unlikely we'll deviate from our preferred system and it's unlikely we'll start many games, if any, with them both up top. However I don't go along with the suggestion or belief they are incapable of playing alongside each other. In certain games it could work. They're both very intelligent players. They would need to adapt but it could work. Also since getting more game time, a full preseason and up to speed Defoe is showing the great player he is. Morelos has also taken his game to another level. For it to work it would take time, not too dissimilar to trying to get Defoe and Davis up to speed last season which didn't work out too great. That's the big risk. It's certainly not the worst problem to have. Thankfully it's all on Gerrard! As above though I can't see it happening too often.

Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hopefully not, it’ll be desperation if we do. They’re a great partnership off the pitch though, Morelos must learn so much from Defoe and I bet Defoe loves having a guy like that to work with at this stage in his career. For the system we play, those 2 rotating as striker is absolute genius. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kplfishtank 4,745 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Alfie playing the way he does rag dolls defences. Not sure there is room for Defoe and him to be as effective. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 32,495 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 If we play both, then we have to sit a natural winger like Ojo or Jones because Arfield is defo one of the front three. I'm actually not totally against it. I watched Defoe's goal a few times today and his touches are world class. And Alfie is....... well just one of the best.
