KevinRichardsonsMoustache Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Eastie said: I see samatta being starved of any possession again is there an emoji for ‘regrettably you’re probably right’? The key to us winning is to have two of the three possible connections with Samatta (AEG, Jack, Trez) working. Wonder how this formation is going to work for McGinn, too. Is he going to bomb on and leave Doug exposed? Or has DS accepted that SJM is gassed and can play a holding, rather than box-to-box, role? Edited June 24, 2020 by KevinRichardsonsMoustache I can’t spell. And I’m ashamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its true. I mean we aren't talking about leaving a world class rb out. Its elmo. Having konza in there is hardly Smith shitting himself. Its a sensible decision. Let's be honest, you'd have complained no matter what. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's absolute **** toilet. I had hope he would be inconsistent but occasionally exciting and his debut was very promising but he's just devolved into a Scott Sinclair/Keiran Richardson tier player. I actually get angry watching him. Roll my eyes every time he comes on or even touches the ball. You already know nothing's going to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-R Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Not happy one bit with this lineup, our right is weak as hell with Trez and Ghazi on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 With that team you can use 3-4-3 4-2-3-1 4-4-2 4-3-3 5-4-1 and of course the Dean Smith special the 8-1-1 stretched across our box and we still get cut open. Maximin looks tasty on the wing hopefully Konsa can take a few bites to soften him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, you'd have complained no matter what. Elmo offers more going forward , this is a game we must win , in fact I’d rather Elmo than trezeguet too , konsa is out of position whereas Elmo has plenty right back experience - my main gripe is playing 2 ineffective wingers rather than Davis and samatta up front , and I’d have had nakamba or Connor in with jack in a free role - we need to shake up our game and be more on the front foot . why would I have complained ? I’ve fully supported smith all the way until recently , more so than many - I do see why he could have gone earlier though and don’t knock those who wanted him out sooner . im not going to say I like the line up if I don’t Edited June 24, 2020 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbcuk Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 With both wingers starting. He's gonna be so confused on 65 minutes when he doesn't know what sub to make 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks so much better in 4-2-3-1 wonder if we play to that tactic though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the expense of stopping a quality winger. I'd rather that as well but I'm not going to moan as if I know best. Although I disagree on nakamaba, he's another weak link.
