OutByEaster? Posted January 2, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2017 Something that has occurred to me - if we put Grealish in the middle of everything, played in the number ten spot behind McCormack and try to put a lot through him - we can win this game through the referee, Jack's a card making machine and Warnock teams are low hanging fruit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 It just cements how much we really need some midfielders. Good midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I think that is a 4-4-1-1. ______Westwood____Gardner________ Adomah_________________Bacuna__ _____________Grealish_______________ ___________McCormack_____^_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 That is the shittest midfield I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Judging by how it was laid out on Twitter I'd say we'd gone for a 4-2-3-1 formation, but I think with the players available a 4-3-3 with McCormack in the false nine role is the best way to go Something like: Bacuna Gardner Westwood ________ McCormack ________ Adomah __________Grealish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleAthon Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Surely a 4231 with the pair holding and then the three rotating and finding space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Grealish is absolutely key to us doing anything today. His pass completion % is head and shoulders above everyone in the squad, next best is surprisingly Ayew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'm confident it'll be a 5 midfield with Bacuna left, Adomah right, Westwood and Gardner central and Grealish 'free' but looking to stay close McCormack where possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He kept the 3 points for us against Burton with that injury time save. He's not very good but I think he's the right choice at the moment over GoalLetinni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Hopefully Westwood and Gardner realise their places are majority at risk and decide to get their heads together a find a way to perform today. They are playing for their places now. (Although it's really too late for that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2017 Oof, that midfield. We need to chuck money at some CMs with a bit about them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and soon as we don't want to drop points throughout Jan due to being short, let's get some deals over the line in time for our game Vs Wolves, just under 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Adomah is key. Really need him to step up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we all have this same concern. The way I see it, now is the time for these professional footballers to step up to plate! SHOW ME THE GODDAM MONEY!

villianusa Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Gardner is in, looks like another win. Woot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam3773 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Just read some build up that included the line "two sides at opposite ends of the table." I've heard that a lot over the last few years.. But it took a while to register that, for once, we're the ones nearer the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I am quite probably deluding myself, but I feel quite good about that line up. We have both width and trickery through the middle. Grealish will get free kicks or a penalty, and if he can feed McCormack this could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 2, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2017 Grealish and McCormack are in for a long afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
