We have natural wingers now. And a natural no. 9. A flat back four that plays narrow should be fine. That would be my opinion of it. The full backs can be defensive and the four stay narrow, stop crosses and the central defenders mark the one striker. As no one plays two strikers, there shouldn't be an issue. Our issue has now become midfield in my opinion. We'd have to push Wharton further forward into a creative role but then who goes behind him. 4-2-3-1 is hardly outlandish for us and might help our constantly outnumbered midfield.
I'd say it doesn't work for Glasner as he wants attacking from the full backs. I'd prefer we play more direct and actually use the wingers as outlets. Our fullbacks can't bomb down the wing every game. Yet they are. Even Mitchell will eventually be injured. We're so lucky he has such fitness.
f***ing hell, we might even catch a team out with tactics for once. Glasner could pull a tactical masterstroke. You'd think he'd like that. I wouldn't say always do it but I wouldn't say always do anything. Obviously, current managers would disagree.
Attack Spurs and they won't like it. They are not strong, but watch us give them far too much respect.
Our lack of goals should be a major red flag for the current tactics. Open play? You're having a laugh! What's that.
We're leaving ourselves as probably only really ever being able to achieve a one-nil at best. As we've seen and seen.
Is it too much to ask to use the wingers and use the striker? We'd even have options. Strand Larsen's glancing header should have told us something.
Anyway, I'm making dinner. Meatballs in gravy.
