Walcott & DCL....twin strikers away from home....

[marcus]

Allardyce will be guffawing at this.

"A point is a point."

Our away form so far this season.....played. 14. Won 1. Lost 8. Drew 5. = 8 points

If we had been playing to win away from home.....maybe we could of done better than that.....
In fact we could not do much worse.....

DCL is the only striker we have who can play the lone striker role in Big Sam's disgusting negative hoofball system away from home.

And do what? Head the ball back to their backs all game? I like DCL, think he has a nice future, but he needs to go out on lone somewhere and learn how to finish and be a true CF.

His touch is good and he has the pace and athleticism. He runs the channels and holds the ball better than Niasse or Tosun. He offers no goal threat whatsoever but we don't create any chances so why play a penalty box striker like Tosun?

 

[Nymzee]

Tosun - DCL
Gylfi - Davies - Gana - Walcott

That's what I want to see.

Tosun - DCL
Gylfi - Davies - Gana - Walcott

That's what I want to see.

Gylfi needs to play in the centre though, Davies and Gana offers a lot of running around but not much else.

Have to disagree about the above on DCL...

Probably our most improved player this season, holds the ball up is quick & strong & will score goals he needs games & the improvement will come....


We have a potentially great forward on our hands in the the next few years....

Sam Allardyce looks at this post. Then looks at the next fixture on his Page 3 models desk calendar:

"Steve, hold my gravy boat"

 

[Groucho]

I’ve been saying 4-4-2 for years now

Worth a go

Tosun flanked by DCL and Walcott. Gana Gylfi and Davies as the midfield three. Take your pick of the symbolic defenders at our disposal.

There's legs, dynamism, interchange and fluidity there. If encouraged.

All very football manager, but just give it a whirl. We'll just get beat at worst. Which is nowt new.

Goals bring confidence & hopefully away wins...

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

IMHO if you are going to play with pace like DCL/Walcott up front then you have to have players who can pick a pass in midfield. I suggest Gylfi and Davy in front of Gana. At home one might look to Vlassic on the left too! Frightening...

Good grief, I knew it was bad but hadn't reallsed it was quite that awful.
