dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's definitely not going to be 5 at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's our usual 4-3-3 or 4-1-2-1-2 (diamond shape) ....................Bunn Richards.Okore.Lescott.Cissokho ....Bacuna.Westwood.Gana .....................Gil ..............Ayew.Kozak However, with the personnel deployed, we could easily switch to 3 at the back and have wingbacks.

Yeah but it gave Zatman an opportunity to have a bit of a moan before he'd seen the game. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Remi mate, try getting the boys to attack the ball once in a while? Sick of this chump's redundant, backward ball, non-attack-when-we-have-nothing-to-lose tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 He's improving us. But inexcusable to not have our players getting into the box. Simpleton Tim Sherwood managed that with a half time talk before managing his first game. And he seriously needs to give gabby a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Clearly improving us but it's too little too late. 'Chump' Classless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Desperately needs a striker and some attacking options - got us organised and solid at the back now but we've not got the personnel up front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We were the better side, and really tried, but the quality was lacking. The only thing I can really question Garde over is the lack of players in the box when we do cross the ball. Case and point was Gil's terrific cross across the box in the second half, absolutely no one was there, we need to commit more forward in those situations, but Garde's conservative approach precludes that from happening. Other than that, I think we were half decent against a side who make it virtually impossible to play football against, but when it's all said and done, a draw is just not good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) He has really solidified us as a team. He needs a little helping hand from the clowns up top so we can actually get a goalscorer. Edited January 23, 2016 by sexbelowsound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2016 Good performance right up to the strikers. We badly badly need some more attacking options. If we sign anyone in the window I hope it's a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Another 'Plus' game for Garde for me. Got the Team fighting, playing the odd bit of decent football, and, incredibly, not losing...clean sheet to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We really need a striker. He didn't have one when he came in and I'm sure he's doing his best to get one in now, but who would want to come? Give him the chance to rebuild in the summer.

Sick of this chump's redundant, backward ball, non-attack-when-we-have-nothing-to-lose tactics. Moronic comment. There was nothing negative about today's tactics. We just don't have any strikers. We were attacking right up to the final whistle today. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a m ole Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 A draw might not be good enough but let's not change the yard stick now. Many were saying before he was appointed that the least we expected was just to not lose every game. We haven't lost in 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We are improving its just ashame we can't attract a striker. Would of won today if we had the likes of Remy. I still think Remi is the best manager for us, just hope the board doesn't leave him out to dry if he does want to make a signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted January 23, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2016 We're looking a much better side overall, but we're toothless. We don't have the personnel to do anything about it either. Kozak is the closest thing to an out and out striker we have but he's incredibly rusty and even on top form probably isn't quite enough. We really, really need a striker. Shame then Remi's chances of getting one are slim and none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Surely our lack of willing runners into the box is down to instructions. I just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
