Bidwell did well though. Solid performance
Bidwell did well though. Solid performanceWould've preferred to see how Perry would do.
Looks like you were right yesterday mind you when said it's 442 so he didn't technically play there I guess?
I don't hate him
Virtually the whole forum agree he's absolutely done.
It's cute that you're still cheerleading for Jakey Wakey. But you're very much in the minority.
As you yourself said, it was against Luton reserves so not a particularly stern test. Clearly we would much prefer to have a recognised CB there if Kitching’s out.Most seem to think he had a good game? Jakey Wakey FFS

Yes but he was even being criticised for blocking shots on target. We will sign a centre half im sure but he had a decent game as did Allen once he took Andrews role in the team
He was criticised for that block because the guy picked it up 40 yards out and Bidwell invited him to have a shot from 6 yards. It was terrible defending.
And it's fucking ironic, but totally unsurprising, to see you complaining about people's opinions on a player last night after your comments on Raphael.
Hardly. My comment was hardly insulting. You did a throwing up GIF when you heard he was in the team!
He had a good game didn’t he?
Interesting we played the 4-4-2 although in possession it was more of the 3-1-6.
Wonder if we could see it in the league anytime soon although I imagine it would mean Sakamoto starting on the bench with a Rudoni RW (Who would invert as per our positions below).

That’s what I’d have in mind. Brau will probably supplant JDS.So something like
Rushworth
MvE Thomas Kitching Dasilva
Rudi Grimes Torp EMC
Simms Wright
?
It’s a clear foul on sakaI didn't manage to catch much of the game yesterday but just watched the highlights. The third chance for Simms (where Rudoni puts the low ball in) looks like a foul on Sakamoto in the box?
100% if you look at the position map, Id see Rudoni in the same position as per 17That’s what I’d have in mind. Brau will probably supplant JDS.
One thing Andrews did well yesterday was to get inside the box which lead to a decent chance. That’s what I’d imagine Rudoni on the RW would look like.
I’d probably like to see Sakamoto at LW if Rudoni is playing wide because his assist v Sunderland (A) in the league last season was a beautiful cross from a LWB position. IIRC, Rudoni got more of his assists from the right last season (validation needed).
This would be my punt.
While it’s a similar shape, having two strikers would you’d hope make us more direct.
Seven big chances against Luton to Hulls one for example.

In practice, this recreates the shape when we had when we played 5-3-2.Interesting we played the 4-4-2 although in possession it was more of the 3-1-6.

4-4-2 is just the defensive shape - as the position map shows in possession it is very differentThat’s what I’d have in mind. Brau will probably supplant JDS.

How does this compare to our in possession shape vs Hull?Interesting we played the 4-4-2 although in possession it was more of the 3-1-6.

Interesting. I think last night worked ok, although we should temper it given the opposition.Similar but we were a bit more narrow View attachment 45156
Bonus of it would be that apart from left centreback, we would have two players in each position with EMC or Sakamoto able to cover the flanksif we continue with the 4-4-2 defensive shape then you'll likely see
Rushworth
MVE/KKH-Thomas-Kitching-JDS/Brau
Saka-Sheaf/Torp-Grimes-Rudi
Simms-Wright
Become this in possesion
Rushworth
Thomas-Kitching-Grimes
Sheaf/Torp
MVe/KKH-Saka-Rudi-JDS/Brau
Simms-Wright
he's played it in multiple friendlies and both actual gamesSurely Frank has to see the benefits of this formation, or is he too stubborn to change?
My gut feeling is that Lampard prefers EMC to Sakamoto.if we continue with the 4-4-2 defensive shape then you'll likely see
Rushworth
MVE/KKH-Thomas-Kitching-JDS/Brau
Saka-Sheaf/Torp-Grimes-Rudi
Simms-Wright

no, he's rarely if ever played him wide rightMy gut feeling is that Lampard prefers EMC to Sakamoto.
It was actually good defending from Bidwell when he seemed to allow the player to run into our box imo, if he'd have committed to a tackle he was practically last man and at big risk of giving away a foul. He gave the player limited sight of goal and made a good block.
Did well setting up the goal by running through space left by poor L1 defenders and laying off a nice little pass.Twat
It looked that way to me. I feel like Saka gets fouled a lot without getting the calls from the ref. This is just the latest of many.It’s a clear foul on saka
Got man of the match on his full debut, ofcourse its the first real time we’ve seen him, how anyone can judge negatively or positively i dont understand. Which is why i think you’re aDid well setting up the goal by running through space left by poor L1 defenders and laying off a nice little pass.
Remains to be seen whether he’s allowed the same space against tough Championship defences. Personally I doubt it and reckon he’s nowhere near ready yet. Clearly you think he is. Time will tell eh, Prick.
