This rigid formation 10:43 - Aug 5 with 4438 viewsDMDC

Its clear that KmK isnt going to change from the same formation. Teams are going to know exactly how to set up each week against us. Cook got slaughtered on here for never changing his system, yet KmK seems to get an easy ride. Cook never was for me,but we still keep the same formation week in week out that Mr K likes to play.
One up front,with strikers who are all used to playing in a two and you wonder why they struggle. Two sitting just behind, Chaplin isnt a no.10, he runs around up his own @rse most of the time. None of the number 10s really create a lot. Aluko is about the best we have. I dont think its a natural position for Harness ,think he will struggle if he is expected to play that role each week. It feels very much like square pegs in round holes in the forward positions. As you can see, lm really not a fan of a lone striker.

Very simply.

Cook wasn't getting results. McKenna Is.
Cook wouldn't vary it at all, McKenna Does.

You're over thinking it.


By getting results you mean two wins in the last ten, yes?

Some people seem very determined to get as down as possible as quickly as possible, don't they?

We've had one game. We showed some promising things, some concerning things, it is far far too early to decide whether either good or bad are permanent fixtures.

We need to score goals and we dont, l see no difference from last season, same system.


The system isn't the issue, the issue is we don't have an out and out goalscorer,

Morsy should have put his chance away, but if that falls to Chaplin, Burns, Ladapo, Harness, any of them, that goes in,

We dominated play with the fluidity of the system, we just don't have a finisher,

We had 17 shots on goal, 5 on target, with some quality up top, we score 3/4 of those chances, not just one and have a sitter saved

I'm still unsure that 1 individual is suddenly going to make us a free scoring side. It goes a bit deeper imo as shared the other day.

Say it was hirst. Would he alone suddenly make morsy more composed?


I'm not saying I player will do that

Our system is not getting the best out of our best finisher (and probably best player) Chaplin. He’s stuck in between the lines when he should be up top on the end of everything.

Whether or not having some of the pressure taken off a player might make them more composed (I don't think anyone actually said it would), don't you think that scoring 10-15 more of our chances across the season would make a difference to our points tally and league position?

Most journalists and people on here have noted how the formation is actually very fluid and switches throughout the match depending on what is needed. The only person seeming to be advocating a rigid formation is you, in that you are insistent it should be two up front.

Another on of your very poor takes, and a posting history very similar to an Alan who was a monkey.

Course it would. But just having a new striker imo won't suddenly change this. Many of the chances on sat fell to non strikers. I also don't see for this level at least.. who could come in as striker and get more than ladapo will.

He got beyond Ladapo everytime he held the ball up, the issue isn't the system, it's our inability to take the chances we create for ourselves,

As I said, if the chance at the end falls to Chaplin, 9/10 times, he puts it away and we take the 3 points,

Chappers was also key in the build up to that final chance, so to say the system doesn't benefit him is utter madness, he's a nailed on starter each week in the 10 role, as thats where he flourishes

It is about getting the right player. If all they do is take Ladapo's place in the team and score the same number of goals as him then no it will make no difference.

However, a striker who poaches the rebounds, moves slightly quicker than Morsy or John-Joules did to get on the end of the crosses that left only the keeper to beat, who makes the run that Ladapo didn't at some point in the game suddenly has a hat trick on Saturday and we win 3 or 4-1. If you can't see that makes a difference, then I can see why you would argue we don't need a striker.

But is there a poacher who plays as a lone striker?

For me. Chaplin is or should be the poacher alongside ladapo. Jackson had the knack of being that poacher when he first came in. Getting onto rebounds. Being right place right time.

But we do only use that 1 main striker so I don't see a poacher type being seeked

Jeez

Very simply posters either don’t watch itfc or don’t seem to understand the fluidity with us switching in-game between 3 and 2 central defenders, overloading left or right in the process, then at time looking like we are in a 4231, 433 and presumably at times potentially even having 2 strikers.

I expect planning for that isn’t straightforward! That’s without making a sub and changing the emphasis of our attack.

1 game down.

What is wrong with other teams knowing our game? Man City and Liverpool play with a similar set up for almost every league game. Teams know what’s coming, they just can’t do much about it. Burns will be targeted this year and that will create openings elsewhere. KMcK saw where the deficiencies were last year and we have filled most of those gaps. Town could be very dominant this season but I agree that we need to convert chances. COYB

None of this is true. McKenna has won two of his last ten. That’s not, “getting results”, at least, not to the level we need. Cook also played a 442 on occasion and KM has alternated with one or two up front.

Being fair, Under cook we scored but leaked goals for fun, Mck sorted the defence beyond all expectations, but inherited Jackson, Piggott and Norwood as strikers. The Pig so low on confidence he was redundant, Jackson out of the club in all but name and Norwood on the naughty step.

This is the season to judge a bit more fairly.

I agree. I’d just like the fan base to be consistent. If we were intent on carrying over Cook’s poor end to a season then we should do the same with KM. KMs a very promising manager but all managers have their Achilles heel and we’re beginning to see KMs.
