simo Posted 12 July, 2015 Share Posted 12 July, 2015 As in stands it's looking like our attacking options for next season look good but who plays in the front 4 positions! ? For me Pelle with Jrod ,Tadic and Mane behind him! A lot of people wrote Tadic off because of his second half of the season (which for some part he was injured) but I think with him sitting in the hole playing like he did at the beginning of the season Jay , Mane and Pelle will thrive !

norwaysaint Posted 12 July, 2015 Share Posted 12 July, 2015 Tricky. I think Mane and JRod are pretty much the same type of player, best played centrally and using their acceleration to latch onto through balls from midfield, but both always in danger of being stuck out on the wings, largely due to that same acceleration, but where they are both half the player. Depends if we stick by Mane or have faith in JRod, because they would both be trying to do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 12 July, 2015 Share Posted 12 July, 2015 I hope at some stage Jay gets a go as the main central striker. Probably has the most allround game of them all, good finisher, decent in the air and has the pace to scare opponents if he can find that sort of form again. I'm also not overly convinced we will play like that all the time and one of Davis or JWP will probably play instead of an attacker a lot, especially away.

I agree re: Rodriguez, since his injury he looks to have bulked up which may aid his holding up ability. Though I remember under Poch when he would play centrally he struggled.

Lighthouse Posted 12 July, 2015 Share Posted 12 July, 2015 Depends how good Juanmi is. If he is decent it could be him, Tadic and Mané in behind J Rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bananaman Posted 12 July, 2015 Share Posted 12 July, 2015 for what it's worth, I think Mane is our most effective attacking player and should be first name on the team sheet... (perhaps after Fonte) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 12 July, 2015 Share Posted 12 July, 2015 Using JRod and Mane out wide would be an utter waste of talent as they are both mediocre there. The problem is that they both excel in the same central position. I don't see them playing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_Tony Posted 12 July, 2015 Share Posted 12 July, 2015 We have plenty of wide option, but for me we still lack back up for Pelle. Theres a reason he didn't get dropped during his goal drought last season Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sad saints fan Posted 12 July, 2015 Share Posted 12 July, 2015 I think what we need is players to interchange in the same way that Lambert,Lalana and Jrod did the season before last. I realise that Pelle is not so effective out wide as Lambert bu the would still be pulling defenders out of position and causing confusion. Therefore your players who start should be your most intelligent,whoever that may be, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 12 July, 2015 Share Posted 12 July, 2015 We have plenty of wide option, but for me we still lack back up for Pelle. Theres a reason he didn't get dropped during his goal drought last season We didn't have Rodriguez, Juanmi or Gallagher (for a lot) of last season. When Pelle doesn't play we don't have to use another target man striker, it is possible for us to change the system as we did for Chelsea away with Long and Mane upfront.

Will be interesting to see where Juanmi fits in. Don't think Gallagher is anywhere near good enough Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 12 July, 2015 Share Posted 12 July, 2015 Away from home, I would one to see this given a go: Mane------------Juanmi-------------Tadic --------------------Jay Rod-------------------- Or Long for Tadic, if he's not in form. If Clasie signs then our offensive passing from central midfield should improve. That front four could be lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarniaSaint Posted 13 July, 2015 Share Posted 13 July, 2015 The same jrod who was excellent from wide left but struggled through the centre? Yes !! he is great wide left just like Mane is great on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd swap JuanMi with Mane' - having Jrod and Sadio with pace up front will be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I like this with long in for tadic we would have a seriously pacey attack on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
