Play Davis and Leigh in the same side 20:30 - Jan 17 with 3497 viewsRIPbobby

I would be inclined to try a few new things. Perhaps playing Leigh left back and give Davis a free role. His energy levels are great, forget about him defending give him the free role in front of Leigh for a change.

I wondered if it might be an opportunity to use davis in his natural lcb role alongside wolfy or fridge with wolfy doing the donacien role.

Davis has been hauled out for not winning a header at the back post and you want him at LCB?

Genuine question as I haven't seen to much of utd. But does that little fella get on there. He's quite a small cb.

KM switched systems ( which hasn't gone as well since) so I understand why the OP might think of it.

I really hope KM doesn't change how we play or approach games. by homer_123 2 Jan 2023 18:05
We get so much right.

On and off the ball we are very good. We use the ball intelligently. There's loads of movement off the ball, players are encouraged to play and express themselves.

We have an identity and style of play that we have not seen at PR for years.

We create plenty of good goal scoring opportunities and defensively we are solid and I love that we play out and build from the back.

We have an issue of conversion at the moment and although over the season so far we have scored plenty...we are wasteful in front of goal at times.

The worry for me is if KM tries to shore us up defensively or alter how we play, we may well create less and right now that will definitely mean fewer goals. As our conversion is a little poor.

So, we change nothing. How we play works...we should not touch that at all.

If we can be more effective taking our chances, we'll be fine. I certainly don't want to see any players come in that don't improve on what we have.

Keep the faith...its working even if the festive period has been poor points wise.

A few tweaks is not what he's proposing.

Changing the front three to two strikers is a good thing to try at certain times.

Nope. When we need to keep it tight we can play 4 out back. Which would potentially give more space in the forward areas.

I do wonder if maybe something to make us a bit less predictable might be needed… my hope however is that Hirst and Broadhead ignore the instruction to score the perfect goals, and smack a few from 30yards

Davis is not a centre back just because Wikipedia says he can also play centre back.

Agree with that. The only one who seems to shoot regularly from distance is Morsy and shooting doesn't seem to be his strong point.

Davis spoke of his time prior to ipswich as a centre back. But well done looking on wiki yourself.

Only Oxford and Posh have had more shots from outside the box than us. We’ve scored 10 which is only bettered by Wycombe 11, Wednesday 12.

The best change (and one that I am sure will happen soon) will be to play Broadhead and Hirst.

While there is a risk that players who are not playing are falsely considered to be better than the ones who are, I think these two have shown they are quality in an area we are slightly lacking and have shown the ability to produce the goods at this level.

Martinez is the United CB. His positioning and timing are generally excellent which makes up for his lack of height.

You can be a shorter centre back as the names in this article prove https://www.givemesport.com/88035836-cannavaro-baresi-puyol-who-are-the-best-sho but Davis (in my opinion) is much more suited at present to the full back role.

Luke Shaw has been an interesting player to watch as recently he's been switched from LB to the CB position and is keeping out Maguire, Linderloff and Martinez.

So your plan is to replace a CB with a much smaller player who isn't great in the air whilst also losing his superb crossing ability and his assists.

Honestly, do you just type or do you think about these things first and then type?

This is the worst take I've seen on here in months.

No its not a plan, its a discussion of an alternative, similar to that as the OP, again don't get wound up by someone sharing their thoughts on a subject.

Whilst you joke. We saw morsy as inside forward Saturday so anything is possible it seems.

Morsy is our best player undoubtedly. I think we will be looking at an alternative in the market for S
Donacian. This will be one of the positions KMc was referring to recently.

I think it's just that we are so dominant in possession in thee majority of games, no matter what the stats say, we are not taking advantage of that including a seeming unwillingness to have a shot.
