Could work. Not sure if we have enough legs in midfield but we are at home against a bottom side.. so why not. I think we will see RMC playing quite deep, certainly when Blackburn have the ball.

hoaxn Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Not necessarily a 2 man midfield. I see it as Grealish and Adomah on the wings, McCormack behind Kodjia so he can get back and form a 3 man midfield when off the ball, but provide attacking support when on the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Middle of the park is still the area that worries me most but its no slight on Bruce, he has to play what he has. It is more of a midfield that nullifies the opposition rather than creates and gets on the ball. Again though not criticising Bruce, I don't think this is his style of play as shown with huddlestone and livermore who were good on the ball. Needs s window or two to put his mark on it.

Guest av1 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 1 minute ago, DCJonah said: Exactly. If we need a 3 man midfield to deal with the likes of Blackburn then we are truly in trouble, let's go attacking. We need wins. Agree mate, if bruce went defensive against a poor Blackburn side at home he would be getting pelters. As i said above. Bruce knows when be pragmatic and when to go for it. Its so bloody refreshing to have a manager that can tailor his gameplan to the task at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly how i see it. RMC will play in the position that Wayne Rooney wants to play for England. he will be very deep making a 3 when we lose possession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Blackburn being second bottom doesn't mean they're significantly worse than the rest or even us, this league is crazy like that. Hell, we were down there barely 2 weeks ago. Really hoping that pairing of Jedinak and Gardner won't be our undoing a la Preston who were also supposed to be poor.

KSV Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 i am sure if we are getting overrun at home by blackburn he would change it and bring on Tishbola for Grealish.. lets see how we go in the 442. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted November 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2016 I don't think anyone has mentioned Agbonlahor on the bench... to be fair it's not a surprise as SB pretty much said that's what he'd do. If he comes on and gives us something different then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do have an actual football manager this time though, that's an important difference. He's probably even given them some tactics and told them what he wants them to do.

sexbelowsound Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Where's Ayew? Not that I mind, I think the line up in attack is very good. 2 man midfield concerns me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime we have switched to a 2 in the middle it hasn't gone well, we will have to see how it goes. Jedinak has been atrocious in a two man midfield every time so far. Time will tell, always find it odd when managers change the way they go about games, especially as we haven't lost yet. I think there were better XI's to go with today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
