BearInTheToon 1,575 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 So now that the squad is confirmed and we know who’s in/out, what do we reckon should be the line up we go with in the short-term for the coming games? It’s been clear for weeks that Arfield, Aribo and Ojo (Danes at home, aside) haven’t been at it and look fucked/off it. Add to that, Goldson has been up and down and Tav hasn’t looked himself either. Personally, I’d be interested to see Stewart in the Arfield role. Similar players, tidy feet, can pick a pass, find spaces between the lines. And for me, Aribo has had a hefty loss of form for a few games now, so I’d be interested to see King. SG has spoken a lot about having a squad/two players for every position. Yet, frustratingly, he hasn’t actually utilised it resulting in, for my money, players like Arfield, Aribo and Ojo looking like they’re spent/needing a break. If Aribo’s, Arfield’s and Goldson’s form picked up dramatically, they’d likely be first choices but based on the last few games, I’d be interested to see for a few games something along the lines of: McGregor Tav Katic Helander Barasic Davis Jack King Stewart Kent Morelos Subs: Fod, Goldson, Flanagan, Aribo, Arfield, Ojo, Defoe Thoughts?

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,277 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 As it stands, for our next game which is Livingston at home a week on Sat, I'd go: McGregor Tav Edmundson Katic Barisic Jack Davis Ojo. Arfield. Kent Morelos Widemen stretching play both forward and wide, Arfield playing closer to Morelos. Jack and Davis rotating positions and roles as they have been but not in any way both holding. Full backs both offering attacking support. There's goals in that team. islanderbear84, kelvd1873, BookWorm and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

6superbarry6 14,109 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 McGregor Tav Katic Edmundson Barasic Davis Jack Aribo Arfield Kent Morelos bit harsh on Flanagan but I think with Kent cutting in on the left we need the width Barasic provides. kanjo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be the team but Helander will play ahead of George. Everyone going way over the top on Aribo. He’s had a quiet few games in middle of the park but was hung out to dry out left on Sunday. The boy is a player and will be a mainstay in that midfield. kelvd1873, voltago and graeme_4 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6superbarry6 14,109 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Left back and an out and out right winger similar quality to Kent had to be the priority in future windows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree mate re Aribo being a mainstay. He’s going to be a serious player. Hopefully the break does him good as he’s been off it for a few games. But if not, we need to change things up. And King has come in as this EPL winning, scoring AM. Arfield on form, there’s no doubt. But he’s badly off the pace and is now away with Canada (I believe?). So more games, more travel, more fatigue... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEPPS BOY 73,168 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Kent is an obvious starter but him and Morelos can’t do it all by themselves. Aribo and Arfield need to start producing in the games that matter. Not entirely sure about Ojo tbh. BookWorm 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElBufalo20 7,826 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Need Morelos to start and keep Defoe for the Europa if we’re rotating. The league is the priority. Midfield of Jack Davis Aribo Ojo and Kent either side of Morelos. Huge fan of Arfield but he’s wasted in that wide role. Should be moved into the midfield 3 when needed.

Fods, edmundson, kamara, barisic, Arfield Ojo It's all about opinions mate so, fair play. But I really think 352 is totally unnecessary in our league. It means an extra body at the back when most teams play just one up front. And for the more physical, faster teams, they'd pinned our wingbacks back and double up on them at times. I think we just need to get better at playing/find the perfect combination of players to play 433 which for me is a better option than even 4231, which can leave the midfield being overrun when even average teams pack that area.
