adios 717 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 to be fair Luque has played LM for us so far hasnt he? I reckon he's been bought for both if that makes any sense. On the left to replace Robert but an eye on the fact he can also play as a striker too... 50234[/snapback] Of course it makes no sense, it's sensible! I agree.

Howaythelads 0 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) A left-sided attacker plays down the left, simple enough to understand I would have thought. 50212[/snapback] Like Robert, you mean? Thanks. You've got it at last. It's like pulling teeth, son. 50217[/snapback] Weren't you arguing that both Luque and Robert were left-sided midfielders rather than left-sided attackers though? 50223[/snapback] You can label them whatever way you want. What I was saying was that Luque was signed as a replacement for Robert. So whatever label you want to put on that feel free to do so. For myself, I don't care what you call them but to say someone is a 'striker' means a player like Shearer, or Owen. 50253[/snapback] For me Owen and Shearer are totally different types of players, so I'm not sure I follow. 50256[/snapback] Ho ho ho. I'll play along....... The fact you don't follow is probably why you think Shearer, Owen and Luque are all strikers. Has championship manager changed the concept of what a striker is? Perhaps after a few years of championship manager, a player who plays as Robert does, you know, a left sided midfielder/attacker who provides for others, and scores goals as well, is now considered to be a striker in the mould of Shearer and Owen?

Howaythelads 0 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) IF we had everyone fit, who reckons we'll play 4-3-3 for the majority and who reckons we'll play 4-4-2? I think he might try 4-3-3 at home. 50231[/snapback] Doh! I'd suggest that if Mr Souness goes this route we'll be playing 4-5-1 more than 4-3-3. Also, you claim he might play 4-3-3 at home. So does that mean you reckon he'll play 4-4-2 away and if so how is 4-3-3 going to be used for the majority of the time?

Shearergol 0 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 In his career, Luque has been used as a striker who favours the left hand side of the pitch due to the fact that he has an awesome left foot. He drops deeper than Shearer (much like Bellamy did ) but never an out and out left winger. I'm yet to see a quote provided from Souness saying that he was bought as a replacement for Robert. I've seen him say that he will offer us more threat down the left (bearing in mind that he does favour the left hand side striker position) but never that he will be playing on the left wing. I can't understand what this debate is about anyway. Luque IS a striker. If Souness plays him on the left wing rather than up front then he'll confirm that he is in fact an idiot (although that's already been confirmed plenty of times). I'm no fan of Souness at all, but I'm a huge fan of Luque from his time in Spain. If we don't use him properly then he's going to look out of his depth (would anyone really put a striker on the wing? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 3978 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 In his recent interview didn't Luque say that Souness had told him he bought him to play on the front left of a 4-3-3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I do remember Souness saying something along those lines, I just assumed that was him being bitter and twisted, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he think's 4-3-3 is a more attacking formation, so does Johan Cruyff by the way. So i think he might try 4-3-3 more at home and maybe away if he thinks he can or if he needs to come back from a goal down. Personally i was interested to see how 4-3-3 might work but after watching the highlights of Manure against Spurs (1st half Manure playing 4-4-2) reminded of how sweet it is to watch an attacking team play 4-4-2 properly. Right now i just care about the results so whatever formation they line up in won't overly concern me as long as we get the points. People say Chelsea are boring but i reckon their fans get plenty of entertainment just looking at the table nevermind going to the match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
