Park Life 70 Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 So, did this work on Football Manager then Parky? ........I know I'm kinda losing track on what I'm trying to say...I'm sure I had it a few minutes ago! But I would play all three of the buggers and as insurance have two 'propa' DM's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Spanish clubs play the best formation, 4-2-3-1 with 2 holding players leaving 4 attack minded players with very little defensive responsibilities. Doubt it would work with Owen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would play all three of the buggers and as insurance have two 'propa' DM's. Roeder's a rigid 4-4-2 man though, or so it would seem. That's not a dig at your argument, I just don't see him trying 3 up-front (or a variation on that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest alex Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 We'd have to play 3-4-1-2/4-3-1-2 imo, if you're playing those three. And even then, I think you'd struggle away from home in the PL without a target man-type player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martins could play out on the left or through the middle, he's the same type of player as Eto'o and he often cuts in from the left for Barcelona.

Nate 0 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Butt Emre Milner Dyer N'Zogbia Owen Martins This would be ideal although you would lose the creativity of Solano at RB and it's doubtful wether the quality of defenders we possess could play 3 at the back. I suppose Butt misses out. Milner Dyer Emre N'Zogbia Owen Martins Edited February 6, 2007 by Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 A what? 'In the hole' they call it here luv. But on the continent the veiled striker rotates with the main striker and has more a less a free role. He is the one player who is expected to know what the most dangrous area for the opp is at anytime. Like Messi and Ronni do......They 'veil'. The act almost disinterested in striking untill you're picking the ball out of the net. Raul was also very good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
