Stop Messing Around go 4-4-2 and Blow teams away

Postby simplytolmie » Sun Apr 13, 2014 4:06 pm

We have to get back to the attacking power we played at earlier in the season. Get at teams with pace power and intensity.

Team from now to end of season -

Hart
Zaba- kompany - Demi - kolorov
Milner - Fernan - nasri (Yaya) - silva
Aguero- negredo

Silva is in the form of his life playing as 2nd striker though.

Anyone know if Yaya is out for a spell?

Sounds daft but maybe it won't be a disaster if he is. He barely touched the ball in the opening 15 minutes and after half time Garcia didnt allow their midfielders much time or room.

Maybe we can go back to two up front now. Certainly worked first half of season

We have been playing 2 up front, but one of them is Silva & he is on fire. If we move him, he may not be so good.

If we assume Aguero is back and will be first choice forward, I'd sooner see Dzeko or Beast up front with him feeding off each other, with Silva just floating between midfield and attack. This means Navas is sacrificed, but at the moment that wouldn't be a bad thing. We can also see if Fernandinho can fill Yayas shoes.

without yaya not so sure we can go back to being as successful as we were with this approach.

We can play with 2 strikers at home but I wouldn't start Negredo ! Dzeko deserves to start with Aguero and Jovetic should be next in line. Without Yaya it will be tough but I think this is now the right time for Milner to fill that gap and he's well up for it as he showed today.
