It was terrible as we were carrying Reid, Wood got injured and they had as much venom as a pussy cat.
The AWs need to be tactically adaptable (given our depth and type of opposition we play). Appreciate they get limited time to train but I agree - if FDV is exposed 1 v 1 you'd want a CB covering. If he goes forward and doesnt get back - either the 6 or the CB.
This just puts ALOT on Bell's shoulders.
If we played 3 at the back then TP and FDV got get forward more and cross the ball to wood etc from more advanced positions; less worried about getting caught out.
Anyway, what do I know - Im at home on a Friday typing on a forum ;-) imanixsupporter
give it up my man. It isn't happening. By the way do you remember us playing a back 5 vs Aus at Eden Park a couple years ago? How did that go? JasperNix
With stamenic and libby out id play a 3-5-2.
I know they’ve said 100 times they are a 4-3-3 team but that shape allows FdV amd TP to get further forward with less risk as FDV doesn’t have the same speed as Libby to fold ba k i to shape or defend 1 v 1.
Maybe thats the tactics Baze was referring to.
