I don't think Smiffy will ever change from this boring formation, he's obsessed with it whether we or lose. People were saying the same about him and 4-3-3 before this season 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete101 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I've no problems starting like this but if it isn't going well change it, don't just make like for like substitutions and expect it to change outcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People said of the 4-3-3 that he had no other way to play. No plan B. He changes it and gets criticised. FWIW I prefer the 4-3-3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Think we'll lose this one about 4-1. Absolutely no idea why. Fingers crossed then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He changes it and gets criticised. FWIW I prefer the 4-3-3 Its not about changing and sticking to a formation for every game. It is about being able to play in multiple different formations and using the appropriate formation for the team we are playing. Chelsea and Man Utd away then 5 at the back. Wolves and Brentford at home 433. We need to be able to adapt and become less predictable 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing to a formation that isn't working and stubbornly sticking to it when you have better options on the bench and more harmonious shapes for the players at your disposal isn't really switching to Plan B. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I don't know whether he changes it fast enough or often enough or whatever, all I know is that I hate this formation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisvilla4 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I was wondering how the Arse fans would respond to Emi being back then I remembered they'd have be too busy with their heads in their books to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Fell like it's VITALLY important Villa score more goals than Arsenal if we stand ANY chance of winning. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat Man Utd with that formation. Played very well in the Wolves game (bar the last 15 minutes!) I hope we can get the wingers back for and play 4-3-3 as I think that gives us the best balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
