coleman as right midfield

fareastblue · December 7, 2014

That was some experimenting with Coleman as RM yesterday. I thought it would become a moyeish five at the back but it was not.

Anyways did not think Coleman made an impact with this position. Thoughts?

GTF is my thought on your post.

Generally thought he was alright actually.

Blue Truth · December 7, 2014

As we already knew from years ago he cant play there effectively.

Thought it didn't work. And Hibbert trying to be a playmake just outside their box didn't work either. Wtf was he thinking?

Jozzy · December 7, 2014

Was worth a shot, didn't pay off though.

Walken · December 7, 2014

Its never worked before, wasn't going to work against city, was a stupid thing to do

Kev The Rat · December 7, 2014

It's been tried by moyes it's never worked

Another stupid tactical decision from Martinez, Firstly bringing in Hibbert and secondly for not playing a winger on the wing AGAIN

RM was where he effectively started his life the first team years ago. It was not good. He is becoming one of, if not the best RB in the prem, don't start playing him out of position as well.

Cowardly decision to start Hibbert when Coleman is fit to play RB. Average age on the pitch 30, ffs, we are regressing.

Fair do's, Bobby tried something different and I wont slate him for that. It didn't work this time, but in all honesty at this moment in time there is only one player in the squad who is capable of keeping the opposition fullbacks entertained and he is making his way back from injury.

I thought Hibbert was one of our better players.

Atsu and AIDS must have been fuming on the bench.

As soon as Aguero was crocked, he should have withdrawn Hibbert for Barkley and gone back to the familiar shape we always have.

It was a simple decision to make. Sticking with the defensive set up he started the game with got us a poor attacking performance, and we only really looked to have a go when Ross came on.

Poor decision making by Roberto. He should have done like you said sooner and considered in the last few minutes throwing another forward on.
