There is a post/qoute somewhere of RAs time at Mityjland saying something like i tell the coaches to believe in the process it will come good or something like that
A bit like Amorim, 1st time in 18mths played a 4231 against Newcastle, got the 3 points, then prompty changed back to 3/5 the following game and were awful and held 1v1 by Wolves as they didnt control the midfield
I can't stand the 3/5 at the back but also agree 433 wont work because of our fbs so to me it has to be a 4231 or even a 4141 the issue with latter is we haven't the Rodri type player to take the ball from cbs on the half turn to feed the more creative guys, if it were to be Downes it would just be recycled to THB who suddenly thinks he can ping 60yd cross field balls like he did yesterday and pretty much all went out of play or lost possession
McCarthy
Jelert THB Quarshie ?
Downes Jander
Fellows Azaz Leo
AA
So you can clearly fit them in playing a 4, also if the 3 are a bit offensive then move Jander into Azaz position, then Bragg/Charles/Romeu(if fit) can fill in. Granted we need a bigger better 9 and a fit Jelert/Roeslav to attempt to have a couple of fb's
