If we carry on with this formation we will be relegated. I can understand, in certain games, to keep it tight and to accommodate players, but this is now the norm.
Take out Siggy & Ayew the rest of yesterday's team have scored one goal between them. The next highest scorer was on the bench - Gomis. From Bony's departure until the start of September Gomis was scoring goals regularly, but what's happened since? Has Gomis changed his style of play? No, what's changed is the service, or lack of it, which he's had to deal with in the bad spell we had under Monk.
We need to get back to playing wingers - Montero & Barrow preferably, sorry Routledge definitely second choice, & get Gomis back in - give him proper service & he will score.
If we don't do this soon we're up sh*t creek |  | | |  |

I like a 4-2-3-1 but I think the problem with that in our situation is who are the 3?
Sigurdsson has got to be the central player behind Paloschi (who I assume would be the 1) but if Ayew and Routledge are the other 2, then we don't have a lot of width and end up pretty close to a diamond again with Routs in the floating role he's had recently. If the other 2 are Barrow and Montero, we have width and pace but no Ayew unless he plays as the 1 instead of Paloschi which seems a bit like replacing a round peg in a round hole with a square peg. The alternative is to play Ayew instead of the out of form Montero but then we have a lopsided attack again. Oh bollux, I don't know. |
What about 4-1-4-1 with siggy and ayew behind paloschi and barrow and Montero/routs on the wings? Never gonna happen but we'd score more goals! I think if you've got players with good engines like ayew and siggy that can get back quickly when attack turns to defence it could work. Cork and Britton in the same team is too defensive and we can't transition between defence and attack quick enough. Plus cork is soooo slow! |  | | |

Not really a great cross if there's no one on the end of it...
As Mike Summerbee ( proper winger - ask yer dad) said to a mate of mine - "You've got to remember - a cross is a PASS." |
I remember the fiery devil Summerbee playing
I was just pointing out that we were getting crosses in but often no one had caught up and got in position when Angel unleashed the "pass"
Point being our alleged shape has little to do with it | |

There are plenty of great crosses that people don't get on the end of. Same with passes.

Commentators love to praise "dangerous" balls across the six yard area even if the strikers at ten yards behind the play. Sorry, Johnathan Pearce, but it doesn't make it a good cross. | | | |

God you truly are becoming senile if you're quoting Mike Summerbee. You're a f*cking fossil when it comes to football, Phil. The game has completely passed you by. If anyone wants some more meaningless platitudes from '60s wingers I'm sure they can PM you.

Warwick is correct..
A cross is a pass
A bad cross, is a bad pass
A good cross, in a specific area should be sought after.. a players deliberation should be carried out on the training ground, a mutual understanding between the crosser and the individual who inhibits the said area should be established.
F*cking rocket science this football stuff..
We clearly don't do it on the training ground though...
Out of the two games Paloschi has played, he's run into a few specific spots that he's familiar with.. Gomis has give up with his runs.. instead he just trudges back after closing down the keeper at full pelt for no reason.. and gets flagged.
Yet we're wasteful when crosses are involved.. i have given up with our corners.. we are just an utter shambles |  |

It was a few weeks ago after a City home game - who said anything about yesteryear? You'd know my "pal" if I told you his name. Crosses aren't football then?
Let's just say you wouldn't be as gobby in the flesh. Trust me.
I'll be at Arsenal if there's anything you want to get off your chest. 
ps "meaningless platitudes" is a pleonasm. Thick c*nt. |

Talk of "grammar Nazi spiel" is unhelpful. Accurate use of language leads to clear thought. Use of terms like "pleonasm" isn't all that helpful either, however, because hardly anyone knows the term (sadly).
I applaud playful and original invective but I wish people would refrain from threats of physical abuse.
On topic, Cork is a good player who is trying hard to do things which don't come all that naturally. I hope it works, but Ki needs to play a significant role for the rest of the season too, particularly in terms of arriving late in the box, as he did once against Man U, if memory serves. |  | | |

I seem to recall Ki arriving late and getting on the end of a pull back from Shelvey which he slotted away along the floor to the keeper's left, it was against Stoke towards the end of last season but I remember thinking at the time he ought to be doing this sort of thing more often.

Don't fancy saying this to my face then, you little f*cking weasel? Thought not...
What are you worrying about if I'm so old and infirm?
Pathetic student pr1ck.
ps don't use words you don't know the meaning of, it just makes you look like an even bigger c*nt. |
You've embarrassed yourself again, Phil. Sadly this is becoming in a trend in your old age. You're confused, angry almost, as to why nobody gives a f*ck about what Mike Summerbee said to your pal.
You're boring, mate. Nobody would give a f*ck if you stopped posting and your absence (by cowering on the other forum) was welcomed. Honestly if you want to stick around to tell Lohengrin about the time you got caught sniffing Howard Tate's jockstrap then do so on the other forum. Leave the football talk to those who still have their own hips.
If at any point you'd like to see me so I can happily call you a senile old c*nt to your face then feel free to PM me. I'm not going to touch your c*ck like the others do though, Phil. You massive f*cking nonce. | |
