Suspect you misunderstood me Sal.
Wasn’t having a pop - we have no replacement for Freeman in the same way that Grabbs had no understudy last season.

Silva hasn't gone yet has he?

Ah, Ok.
Its true though, if we play 4231 then we have 5 options for the 2 DCM slots with apparently Cafu on the way for No.6
For the 3 forward midfield slots we also have 5 options, Freeman, Lolley, Ameobi, Mighten and DaCosta of which one is struggling for fitness, one is a kid and one is ...err... not very good. Not convinced where the goals are coming from.

Wait are you suggesting we should sign more players?! :P

HaHa yes 35 not enough, lets have 40!
Seriously though the squad looks desperately unbalanced to me.

Seriously - when was the last time we played 4231? We played all last year 433 or 4141.
RE: 2020/21 Season: Could We See A Change In Playing Style? - Salvatore Matrecano - 29-09-2020
Ok disregarding the last game which looked a panicked line up, against Cardiff we played
Yates, Colback, Lolley Freeman, Ameobi in midfield, with Grabban up front.
If that isnt 4231 I dont know what is.
RE: 2020/21 Season: Could We See A Change In Playing Style? - ozzyten10 - 29-09-2020
But much like when silva played last year it is more 433. No one plays close enough to grabban to be a number 10- never have have under Sabri.

And that only lasted 25 minutes when he dragged lolley off. We then went to 442.

We played our best football last season as a 4141 with Watson behind Sow and Silva. Sow seems to have dropped deeper now which doesnt suit him really, he just runs around fouling the opposition at the moment.
I get what you are saying about 433 and the gap between the midfield and the forward players, it is ludicrous at times.
