David Hodgson Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 For those that want a sensible positive discussion on the manager only - My view is that RH has evaluated what he's got in the squad and is coming to the conclusion that a variation on the 'diamond formation' in midfield will best suit this squad. On paper its not to dissimilar to Chelsea's approach when trying to accomodate Lampard, Essien, Mikel, Ballack and sometimes Deco in the same midfield. I think he feels that we don't have any wingers worthy of the name, so we're better off using a system that accomodates our best players in the same team at once. It's a nice idea, but it's going to take work. It necessitates a shorter passing game, and a good deal of understanding between the front 6. The movement and passing need to be right, and playing merely percentage balls, or being aggressive won't work. If it comes off, before the wheels do, then I think we'll be a sophisticated and attractive unit. Much depends on whether RH will survive the journey getting to where he wants the team to be.
