Since the palace game, it appears that every defender has worked out how to play Bobby, or he has just run out of steam. The 442 doesnt look anywhere near as effective as it did against the likes of Liverpool and Villa.
Surly our players are more suited to the 433 option. With Mutch/ Fer/ Nico or Adel actual getting to play in an attacking midfield area, along side Sandro/Barton and Henry. At least this system adds someone to the midfield or can actually pass.
It would also allow Vargas to play further forward as a winger not a wide midfielder which he is currently playing in. Hoilet could also benefit from this sort of system i think.
It seems very strange why Harry would go and get Zarate, when he definitely isnt going to hold the ball up, and isnt a loan striker. The only way he would be effective is playing next to Bobby, which isnt going to happen because of Charlie.
I really think TF has done the right thing, only giving Harry loans this january because the names of Pato and Mvila really sound like desperation signings, and there seems to be no second plan if hoofing it up to bob doesnt work.

vargas is just a passenger as a winger imho .one goal in twenty games and how many assists???.
he has to play up front with austin or not at all. would certainly have ned at the back with caulker. And lets give Mutch a run of games , drop barton out of the picture. the center midfield combo of him and henry is quite frankly , embarrasing at this level.
fer misses out, cant believe im saying this, but henry deserves his place.
Id bring petresso, sutherland on to the bench with Mcarthy, Dunne, knee high il duce, Fer and clint.
jettison hoilett , phillips, beau brummel, grey friars, traore and barton beyond the kuiper bel, via a slingshot round jupiter. pluto in traores case.
go down with our fkn boots on , not on our knees.
You're all gonna die. The only question is how you check out. Do you want it on your feet? Or on your fuc kin' knees... begging? I ain't much for begging! Nobody ever gave me nothing! So I say fu ck that thing! Let's fight it!

That'll do for me Disco.
When I see this line up, I actually think it looks quite exciting.
A pretty shocking indictment of our season I'm afraid
442 is just a lazy default set up from a manager without the energy for anything else. 442 without wingers is laughable really.

4-4-2 diamond is currently the in-vogue formation. which is 4-4-2 without wingers, we are not really deploying that though.
What is more worrying is not the formation we line up with its that we don't seem to have any tactical approach going forward at all, no pattern of play, no fine detail worked out on the training field, and that approach IMHO no longer has a place.

Too open.
Green Isla Onouha Dunne Yun Henry Sandro Vargas Taarabt Hoilett Austin
To be honest, Hoilett's spot could go to anyone of: Niko, Fer, Traore, Phillips or Zarate.
Have Henry and Sandro doing all the hard work for Adel and Adel delivering the class.
I'd have something like this but with Adel on the left and I'd probably play Fer down the middle problem here is this formation is no good for Austin, he is no good with back to goal and you need that to make the 4-2-3-1 work which was why Helgurson was so good in it under Warnock (Also we had pattern of play under Warnock)

Not sure why people opt for Hoilett on the left, no left foot, can't cross, cuts inside and almost 9/10 loses the ball. He seems much more effective on the right where he can actually get to the bye line and cross or come into the box.
The only way Hoilett would help is if he signed for Hull, Burnley or Leicester
