Team Vs Glory

Team Vs Glory

I think lately we have seen many players fall. It will be interesting to see the team people want to play. Everyone is fully fit i think and availiable.

---------------------------------------------Moss----------------------------------------------------------

Christie--------------------------Dodd-------------O'Dor-------------------------------------Lochhead

Elrich---------------------------Brown---------------Ferrante--------------------------------Daniel

--------------------------------Smeltz------------------Felipe----------------------------------------

Bench:Aloisi, George/Barbourousas,Coveny.

- Our passing in the midfield has been sh*t, Ferrante will fix that. Aloisi has been playing below average, and Tim Brown will show him how a holding midfielder should really play.

Christie--------------------------Dodd-------------Clebs-------------------------------------Lochhead

Elrich---------------------------Brown---------------Johnson--------------------------------Daniel

--------------------------------Smeltz------------------Felipe----------------------------------------

Probably agree with that but I'd have Johnson or Lia on the bench instead of Coveny.

Brave calls but I agree if you play 4-4-2. Though I'd go 3-5-2 as follows: Toffeeman2007-10-29 15:22:45

i think ill broadly back toffeeman on this one - 3-5-2 has to be worth a go given the number of goals we've leaked so far

What do people have against Tim Brown?

Tim who?









Surge!

Ferrante didn't travel with the squad!!!

this weeks squad hasnt been named...

Pretty sure they took 16 or so and are staying for Perth.

My team:

Tim Brown to Right back !!!

...or Jacob Spoonley.

Ferrente maybe flying over!

Cleb not on tour

Not sure, I heard that only Dodd will be the only one flying over. So if Ferrante isnt in OZ already, he wont be in the team.

If not a back four, I reckon something like this

                           Moss
         O'Dor         Dodd        Lochead
Christie/Lia                                       Daniel
                   Brown/Johnson   Aloisi
             Elrich        Felipe
                              Smeltz

Subs: Paston, Old, Christie/Lia/Brown/Johnson, Coveny

Daniel to provide width on the left and Elrich to drift out right, but given freedom to come in with a wingback providing width on the right too.

We would get destroyed playing three at the back. Especially if it was Daniel and Elrich on the flanks, neither of them defend.

Can we not fly Clebo over if he's fit? We need him.

 

Cripes.

You forgot James Dean, probably in Brown's spot.

So I did.  Apologies James.

I can t really see a back 3 working, especially if the plan is to play either daniel or elrich as wide men in a 5 man midfield. Defensively I see us getting destroyed. Gotta stick with four at the back, but need greater cover through the middle of the park i reckon, brown to start in as one of those players.

                 Moss

Christie    Dodd    O'Dor    Lochead

               Johnson

Elrich    Aloisi    Brown    Daniel

               Smeltz

Subs: Paston, Lia, Felipe, George.

                        pasty

lia       dodd      odor       lockhead
              
                      aloisi

elrich            brown        daniel
              
              felipe

                          smeltz

subs: george, johnson,old (incase od huge huge huge emergency), covs?
                  

                                   Moss braziliant2007-10-29 19:06:58

agreed, replacing an (apparently) under-performing rightback with Elrich/Lia as wingback doesn't seem to address the problem

if we employ elrich and daniel wide they need the freedom to do what they do best -attack

an option might be to play a sweeper, but who?- aolisi has the nous but not the pace, O'dor in 4-5 years time (but i don't think we can wait that long)

or do we return to the fullbacks pushing up on the outside (which didn't really happen v adelaide) and trust that doing so will stop the opposition's wide players from venturing too far forward

agreed - good team

Every team different so far I think.

it was looking alright till i saw Paston

Back 3? We're like the Titanic with 4, so you wanna put 3 there? Give me a break.

------------Moss--------------
-Plodder-Johnson-Dodd-Lochhead
---------------Aloisi---Brown-------------
-Elrich------------Felipe-----------Daniel
-------------------Smeltz--------------

Plodder only having his place because noone else who is any good plays there.

If we play like we have been recently... Perth will spank us.

Personally I always like the 4-3-3 formation seems to work on FIFA 07 so here it goes
                   Moss
Lochead      Dodd           Odour          Christie


      Elrich        Johnson          Daniel
    Filipe           Smeltz          Brown

Aloisi, Costa Babaros the young dude, and Old

      

You judge your tactics on fifa07? Oh dear.

Lochhead is left back. Christie is right back. Its O'Dor not odour

Brown aint a striker

banstick

        

I personally perfer the following playing as a 4-5-1 which is a formation I do not like personally
                   Moss
Christie   Dodd   O'Dor   Lockhead
        Johnson         Aloisi
Elrich           Felipe         Daniel
                   Smeltz

Reasons: Johnson and Moss are/were on form so why were they dropped. Johnson and Aloisi are your holding midfielders and give stability in front of the two CB. They wn you the ball and thus, possession. You have two floating wingers in Elrich and Daniel and Felipe is the attacking mid fielder (note: not striker as everyone lists him as) Smeltz is in form so yeah.

The back 4, well... Speak for themselves with limited resources

You bench, well Coveny has not done much wrong in the chances he has had and runs hard. Brown gets a look in due to being the other defensive/holding midfielder. I'd probably put Ferrante on there for his delivery (note: not shots on goal) as he is pretty accurate.

good stuff. toss up between Jono and Brown (though I would be tempted to drop Ross and play both)
