The9 Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 We clearly do. 4231, 451 or 433 there are many fluid positions these days but there are often 3 forwards. Even when playing wide midfield, they aren't traditional wingers or wide midfielders. They're attacking midfielders not "forwards", and we really don't. Pelle is always up front on his own except an occasional foray from whichever one of the bank of 3 AMs is up there, but never more than one at a time. We NEVER play 3 up top.
SaintTex Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 So what did he say? Don't like listening to his pigeon English and guttural accent myself. Can't we get a translator :blush:Chips without mayonnaise is not chips.
Window Cleaner Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Chips without mayonnaise is not chips. Frietsaus; less fat, added sugar...diabetes in a plastic bottle..
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Remoulade is what they ruin their chips with in Denmark.
sadoldgit Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Remoulade is what they ruin their chips with in Denmark. As in Lady Remoulade???

Roger Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Mane to start, or house hunting in Manchester? How is that funny. Our fans seem to enjoy our players leaving.
Bewildered Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 hard to know what the formation is meant to be. 3 CBs starting, with the two RBs on the bench. maybe a 3 at the back? 3-4-3 maybe? Stek Caulker Fonte Yoshida JWP Romeu Wanyama Targett Mane Pelle Rodriguez
MikeSFC Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Very strange choice. Not really Koeman came out and said this team are really strong in the air and that they have a throw in specialist like delap. So I'm guessing Yoshida is in there to try counter that as Cedric is pretty small and isn't going help much if they put everything in the air.
captainchris Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 We clearly do. 4231, 451 or 433 there are many fluid positions these days but there are often 3 forwards. Even when playing wide midfield, they aren't traditional wingers or wide midfielders. We play at least three up front I am afraid. In fact usually 8 of our players are too far advanced leaving no defence and no Link up through midfield because too many players are too far away so we end up Playing it long or losing possessesion. This has been going on for months now but Koeman continues to do what he always does....

Diabolus Ex Machina Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 Good line-up, looks stronger defensively and yeah think Yoshida is at RB to help with the aerial threat and set pieces (he was statistically the best player in our team last year at winning aerial duels). Means we will be sacrificing some width in attack though. Mane and JRod will need to link up well with Pelle up front but think JWP will be the key man. Good chance to show what he is capable of.

Good chance to show what he is capable of.this. Will be almost zero width with this line-up. JWP is going to need to step up big time as he is going to be the main distributor of the ball - Looks like most everything will be going through the middle.

To be honest I am a bit worried that Yoshida could be lacking a lot of pace in the duels with the FCM-wingers. Sisto and Royer are both really fast, and will probably rotate to make even more problems for Targett and Yoshida. It could definitely be pure tactical brilliance from Koeman, but I just dont see the big threat in the overblown aerial strength in the Midtjylland team. Despite of that, I think the starting line looks very interesting.
Jonnyboy Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 How is that funny. Our fans seem to enjoy our players leaving. Not sure what you mean mate.

Despite of that, I think the starting line looks very interesting. Well while I like the guy Cedric hasn't been much better against the Prem fullbacks in terms of them getting past him so far. If Wanyama and Romeu are both sitting deep i'm hoping one of them can help cover if needed.

SuperMikey Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 I would have played Cedric in RM instead of JWP then. Remind me why you're not our manager again?
Diabolus Ex Machina Posted 20 August, 2015 Posted 20 August, 2015 I would have played Cedric in RM instead of JWP then. I generally don't agree with people playing out of their natural positions but that is an intriguing idea.
