Rhazmuz Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 How would you guys put our formation from the current game down? Are we really without wingers, or are Welbz and Kagawa just wingers who like to drift into the field? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ72 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Not able to watch today's game but the stats say 81% possession for the first 25 minutes with 5 out of 7 shots on goal to Newcastle's 0. That sounds very one-sided! Glad to see he's realised Giggs/Scholes mobility exposes the defence. Also delighted to see Big Save Dave back. Think Anderson is unlucky to miss out this game - where is Kagawa playing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them two keeping narrow allows the wingbacks to surge forward. Carrick and Cleverley cover the wings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icelander83 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 4-1-2-2-1 imo, Rooney and RvP top of the midfield, Kagawa and Cleverley ahead of Carrick. Impossible to put this in FM though, much too fluid for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangaea Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I don't like all these unnecessary tackles and yellow cards. Both RVP tackles were completely unnecessary for example, on a player in a non-threatening situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icelander83 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 He should be going to catch some of those or palm them away, not punching. Punching is much more exact than either of those Also: Almost a third goal from a corner That's around the same as we've done over the last decade, yeah?

Little confidence He's also a young spaniard working in a different country and his boss doesn't appear to appreciate his talents very much - I think he was criticised publicly last time, which is very unlike SAF.

Whether he's a professional footballer or not makes no difference. It makes a load of difference. We're talking about catching and punching here. He's a goalkeeper.

Icondacarver Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Some lovely football at times in that half. Shinji doesn't seem to know what's going on today - Anderson on please. After that 18 minute quick start they have swamped us. We definitely need to bring on some steel as Newcastle bossed the half for the last 15mins. As pretty as this system looked early on we relied on our set pieces yet again for goals (shock horror). We can still score set pieces with Anderson on the pitch so please lets bring Kagawa off.

Sheps. Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Great first 20 minutes, what followed was very reminiscent of the rest of the season thus far. If we can get that intensity and control back from the start of the game we'll win this with ease. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSB Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Looked as though we tried to lower the tempo after the first 20, conserving energy and looking for opportunities on the counter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samba23 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'm liking this midfield diamond (Carrick DMC, Cleverley LCM, Kagawa RCM, Rooney AMC is how I read the midfield formation). We're passing the ball through the middle well, Cleverley and Kawawa are finding good spaces and there's been some good vertical passes through to Rooney. More of the same second half please.

Pangaea Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Kagawa hasn't come on as much as I hoped he would so far. Was fantastic in Dortmund so hope he can get out that for us too with time. Today should fit him really well actually, but not been his day so far. Get a third and kill the game now, that would be sweet. A Rooney goal would be good to get him started. But main thing is to keep them out for the first 20 minutes.We need to get back on top of this. The tactical change in Newcastle has worked well, unfortunately.

Besides the goals we really haven't had much on goal. I agree the system is crap, looks good because we were full of beans, even our old style system looked fast & fluid at the start of last season when Ando & Clevz were running all over the place. While our old system could be negated by deep lying teams, it did not leave us as exposed and we still created decent chances from open play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
