Rousseau 9,399 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) I've got the feeling Pena will play as one of two DMs. He's a box-to-box player that likes to arrive late, rather than an orthodox attacking midfielder. I can see Dorrans being the No.10, although that doesn't leave room for Kranjcar!! Foderingham Tavernier - Alves - Cardoso - Wallace Jack - Pena Candeias - Dorrans/Kranjcar - Dalcio/Miller Herrera/Morelos I've not been impressed with Wallace, so I'd prefer Beerman -- or at least given a shot, but I doubt it. Miller has been piss poor in that inside forward role, but he might be better with a more attacking player (Pena) behind him, with more support and options; Dorrans is more mobile than Kranjcar too. We've not got many natural wingers, but we do have options in Windass, Holt, Dodoo and Waghorn in an inside forward role. Not ideal, but they can play there -- if indeed it is an inside forward role. A 4-2-2-2 (or even a 4-4-2 diamond) could be interesting too, with Kranjcar and Dorrans as double No.10s and our FBs providing the width: Fod Tav - Alves - Cardoso - Wallace Jack - Pena Dorrans - Kranjcar Morelos/Miller - Herrera Edited July 9, 2017 by Rousseau 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 You need to build from the back and immediately we have a weak keeper, two full backs who can't defend and a centre back who's an unknown quantity. We're in for a long season methinks. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're being honest, Hearts was Wallace's level. I think the reason he stayed with us down the divisions is because he wouldn't have got half the salary anywhere else. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave M609 100 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I agree with Rosseau, I think to get our best players on the park we need to go narrow, either 4222 or a 442 diamond, I would prefer to go with the diamond, it gives you a bit more cover in midfield and a bit more of an attacking presence up front, the problem is pedro is all about quick phases of play but we have quite a slow team bar maybe miller and candias, possibly dalcio. There is no point in going 433 or 4231 when our inside forwards aren't as good as our central midfielders, he is going to need to adapt his tactics to suit. I would go Foderingham Tavenier Alves Cardoso Wallace Jack Pena Dorrans Kranjcar Herrera Miller Hopefully Rossiter, Morelos, Dalcio and Candias can push for a starting spot but that's the team I would be going with just now 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
