KJT123 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Well that almost guarantees we'll be getting a new keeper next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 18, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2016 I think Kodjia is better upfront and McCormack behind - I can't see how this line up can put them there. Adomah will definitely be out right, so it looks likely that this is Kodjia on the left wing and McCormack as a lone striker - I don't think that's a natural position for either of them. Bruce has dropped players who've not performed and sacrificed the shape to do it. It's an interesting gamble. I hope it pays off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Interesting to see how McCormack does in this formation, i still think he is best deployed behind a main striker. He has undoubted quality though at this level, finding a system that gets the best out of him, and suiting the team would be a huge boost for the rest of the season.

sonic_bouma Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I expect McCormack to cut a very isolated figure today with Kodjia and Adomah absolutely nowhere near him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I'd rather play Gabby in goal. At least he has more surface area than a 12 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 18, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2016 It's the opportunity McCormack needed - but in a role that's going to be very difficult for him in this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted December 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 18, 2016 I think formationally it will be something like this: Bunn Hutton Chester Baker Amavi Bacuna Jedinak Gardner Adomah Kodjia McCormack or will Kodjia and McCormack be the other way around? Either way, apart from Bunn, that's a good side. Get Ayew or Grealish on in the second half if we struggle to break them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Really sorry for gollini as I think he deserves more faith - bunn is a shocking keeper . would have liked to see grealish start too and tish still not in the 18 . Good to see McCormack and baker back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormack is going to struggle if Adomah and Kodjia are hugging the touchline. The inclusion of Bacuna means he can potentially provide the width on the right meaning Hutton can stick to what he does best, defending, while Amavi has the legs and quality to provide the width on the left. This system could work as long as Adomah and Kodjia are narrow and stay close to McCormack. Edited December 18, 2016 by av1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 9 points behind the play-offs, we really need to win this one to keep pace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 18, 2016 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2016 It's difficult, because we're going to be asking a lot of Amavi if Kodjia is narrow - he's not going to get a lot of cover from the naturally right sided Gardner or Bacuna and Jedinak hasn't got the energy to be coming out to the left hand side. Amavi might be capable of covering the left side on his own anyway. Adomah on the other hand naturally wants to be out wide - if he's forced narrow, then we've got both him and McCormack doing roles that aren't quite natural for them and Kodjia doing the one he likes but most of us would prefer to be his second option. I think McCormack will be very isolated I think we'll be defensive and occasionally break and hope that the ability in the front three finds a way to overcome that. 0-0 or 1-0 to us.

DCJonah Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Why does he hate tshibola? Still wish we'd play kodjia down the middle. Glad no Westwood and Baker back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Geez Westwood and Gabby lucky to make the bench. Tish and RHM deserved a crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
