4-4-2 big man little man

---Modric---Sandro

Lennon---vdV---Bale

------Adebayor



Simple

Far too flimsy, in my opinion. Parker and Sandro for me, please.

 

[TwoSaintsComeMarching]

Yup.. our best line-up atm is this:

Gomes
Walker - Kaboul - King - Ekotto
Sandro - Parker
VDV - Modric - Bale
Adebayor​

 

[TwoSaintsComeMarching]

And because I still believe Bale can be a top top left back, i wouldnt mind seeing this:

Gomes
Walker - Kaboul - King - Bale
Sandro - Parker
Falque/Gio - VDV - Modric
Adebayor​

Same here.

Fair enough on Bale mate but why leave out 1 of PL top 3 left backs is beyond me. As it stands now Ekotto is far superior to Bale in that position.

Agree about bae but the difference when playing a 4-2-3-1 is that you should have really attacking fullbacks. I think if bae could work more on his attacking play then there would be no reason to have Bale there, if not then I could see Bale working well there.

defoe scored, ho wcan anyone be upset?

Guardian Chalkboards:

Defoe 1-89min - 19 successful passes

Adebayor 70-90min only - 22 successful passes


Shows you that a proper striker is about a lot more than 1 goal in 90 minutes of obscurity.

Says it all. I thought Defoe was woeful today.

 

[keenu]

I thought Defoe played well. He worked hard and had a few shots on goal. I would stick with Ade and Defoe up front and play VDV on the right.

 

[faze_coys]

lol at ever putting bale at LB over benny.

 

[mil1lion]

I don't get the 4-4-2 talk. I thought the VDV/Crouch combination worked to an extent. Adebayor is a big upgrade on Crouch so can only imagine how that partnership will go for us.

Will it be a lot different to the Keane/Berbatov combination with one dropping off and linking the play, and the other playing on the shoulder?

We're a lot less predictable with that type of partnership up top. There's a lot more movement and creativity I feel.

Call it 4-4-1-1 or 4-2-3-1 but I think this is the way forward.

4:4:2 is monkey balls

 

[RuskyM]

Adebayor and VDV will be lethal.

Adebayor and Defoe will be great for now though.

 

[KeaneIsKeane]

Adebayor and Souleymane?

 

[Mr Pink]

For me its:

Friedel

Walker
Kaboul
King
Ekotto

Sandro
Parker

Modric
VDV
Bale

Adebayor


You want VDV off Adebayor, Modric can play in a forward right position with Walker getting beyond at times. Anyway they would be constantly interchanging.

Me to, good thoughts.

Adebayor

Think so too.

 

[mil1lion]

I've never liked Modric on the right tbh. But I do like that system. I'd love to see us work in a way that VDV, Modric and Bale all interchange though. With 2 defensive midfielders it gives us the perfect platform. Germany showed it to great effect at the World Cup.

 

[johno]

putting bale at LB is ridiculous for 2 reasons

#1 we have BAE who is one of the best LBs in the league
#2 bale got player of the year through playing at LM - why change?

madness
