Ryan. Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 4-5-1 or 4-4-2, that is the question... I don't think Fulham will completely shut up shop, so I'd go with 4-5-1. We used it in quite a defensive way against Liverpool, when we lost the ball it was all men back. But we could also use it more attacking minded, Milner, Young Sidwell Gabby and maybe even NRC with his bursting runs should be more than a competant attack. Either way I've got that buzz back and can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 25, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'd start with 4-5-1 and then go for more attacking if we're struggling to break them down. Hopefully the result last night will be enough to kickstart a bit of form. A win here would set us up really well for the next few games. I'd have taken 6 points from our first 3 fixtures at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanky Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 4-5-1 probably the same team for me. Depends on Carew but has to be the same midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyavfc Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 4-3-3. 4-5-1 at home is too defensive against fulham. I can see it being 0-0 or 1-1 as we will have most possession and we can never break teams down. That is why we NEED Van Der Vaart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Fulham will be coming back from the longest away trip in Europe they could make. Can only be a good thing for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc89 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 for me and the same players who played against Liverpool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Friedel; Beye, Cuellar, Davies, Shorey; Milner, Reo-Coker, Petrov, Sidwell, Young; Carew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villianusa Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Lets put a bid in for Hangeland and unsettle him for the weekend. Looking forward to the game; would like 451 but if we play 442 NRC needs to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark8691 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Any sign of a Petrov and Delph partnership in CM in a 4-4-2; and it will probably be a long afternoon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 ----------------Friedel---------------- Young----Cuellar--Dunne----Warnock ----------NRC---------Delph----------------- ---------------Sidwell-------------------- ---Milner-----------------------Young----- ----------------Gabby--------------------- Guzan, Beye, Shorey, Petrov, Albrighton, Carew, Delfouneso. Dropping Petrov in that formation is just ridiculous. Petrov in a 4-4-2 struggles, but against Liverpool he was excellent. I'd take out Sidwell and put in Petrov, putting Delph in the more forward position, freeing him to attack more. We haven't seen the best of Delph as he has too much responsibility in a 4-4-2 but he's our only midfielder who is capable of passing and moving, shocking as that is. You could see him attempting a few things tonight in a forward position, and a couple of times his passes were intercepted, and bam we're exposed.

stato Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 If we play 4-5-1 at home, I'd like to see Delph play instead of Sidwell and have a more advanced roll. ---------------Friedel------------------ Beye----Cuellar--Dunne----Warnock -----------NRC--------Petrov---------- --Milner-------Delph----------Young-- ----------------Carew------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undesirable Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 4-5-1 Freidel Shorey (i'd play him on merit as he's done ok in the last 3 games) Beye Cuellar Dunne (if he's signed, let Davies have that shoulder op) Petrov Reo-Coker Delph Milner Young Carew Give Delph a roving role behind Carew, get Reo-Coker and Petrov to boss the midfield and keep Danny Murphy out of the game. Milner and Young pushing on up the wings and supporting Carew. Get Gabby on towards the end once Carew has weeved his magic and test those tired fulham defenders legs. bobs your uncle!

nepal_villan Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 would love to see Guzan start this one, but know it won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 28, 2009 Moderator Share Posted August 28, 2009 would love to see Guzan start this one, but know it won't happen. Well Friedel is on 192 consecutive Premier League starts. So he'd have to deserve to be dropped if we're to deny him the 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
