Saturday's Formation

[Youngbee2]

Confused about where Cox, Ide, Moore and Kuffour where playing on saturday

Cox seemed to be playing though the middle, and when Ide came off, there didnt seem to be a reshuffle. Mushinio and Kevin O'Conner stayed in the middle, and brooker Played on the right. Obviously Moore was up font, and Kuffour on the left, but who played the other postions?

Cox dropped into the hole when we were defending and pushed up alongside Moore when we were attacking. O Connor and Mousinho played almost behind the midfield when we were defending breaking things up and ensuring we were able to challenge for any second ball.
Moore worked hard up front but a little more controlled IMHO which is important if you become the lone striker. You could see he was a little jaded as a result just befor he came off. Cox was outstanding in my opinion running at defenders, holding the ball up, always available, gritty and workmanlike when needed as he defended behind Moore and in front of KOC and JM.
Brooker was swapped to the left to defend in front of Framo and he did well.
This allowed Kuffour to cut inside from the right (a little too often in this writers opinion) to allow surging runs on his outside from Osbourne who finally looked superb at right back. Much stronger, agile and confident then when he plays centre half!!

Although I like the approach on Saturday, Moore and Cox didn't work for me and it underlines why Leroy was looking for a lump to go upfront. Sadly he brought the wrong ones in but we definitely need someone to stay central and hold the ball up. Moore ran the channels well but with Cox as his strike partner we rarely had anyone in the centre. I wouldn't be surprised to see Willock in the team on Saturday ahead of Moore. I also think Cox could play wide right and be given license to roam.

I have been a fan of Moore's since day one...eventually reward will follow effort and he has certainly been putting in more since his return from illness.
I cant see Fitz changing much of the team except ....
Ide probably wont be able to play due o strict head injury regulations
If Frammo cant play Charles will come in and kuffour and Brooker will keep swapping until the balance feels right.
Any other changes are unnecessary and Fitz will be mindful of the response he will get if he mass drops players who have done well, on top of being forced to replace two injured players!

Oy ROB, write your own formation - don't edit mine, it might look like I agree with you. Mousinho definitely played further up the field than O'Connor.

 

[Porgey]

We played a version of the Brazilian 4-2-4.

Unfortunately not quite like watching Brazil

 

[Barmy Bee]

I wouldn't play Ide away from home yet, perhaps too weak and easily bossed.

Sorry, but I'd rather play with ten men than have Onion Bhaji in the team.
