Cannot break teams down

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

So why does Harry take Hoilett off for for Keane just as we start playing well and look threatening at the start of the 2nd half?

Why play Traore on the right when he's far more dangerous on the left?

Why take off Ravel for Benayoun?

Etc...

These questions are directed to anyone, not just you Jimmy.

I just dont understand his tactics or substitutions at all...

I must admit I'd like to know the answers to a few of these but as far as Hoilett was concerned we were getting nothing out of him at all today & Morrison was non existent. I imagine Traore was on the right & Hoilett on the left as Harry may feel Armand is more adaptable to a role than Hoilett. Just a guess on my part.

Thought Carroll came on and done what Carroll does not an awful lot. One of his first touches he put the ball out the ground.

He came on in the 82nd minute what did you expect him to do? He was there to help see the game out that's obvious. Goes to the fella above also.

[West Acton]

Doesn't what you've described sum up Harry's tactical and technical acumen to a tee?

My view now is that he is seen as a top manager (similar to Ollie) because of their motivation skills rather then there tactical acumen

When we got him I thought he were getting both but the more I watch the more its evident he's a motivator, that appears all he has in his locker, who usually gets results when he has one or two exceptional players in his team to make the difference i.e. Bale

Fair enough Jimmy im grumpy so fair point

We couldn't break wind. Woeful. Spend two weeks preparing to play with three at the back only to change it after 30 mins. Created nothing in the second half bar the Traore chance and Clint's offside goal. Harry out, methinks. No change; no chance.

What you mean 77???

We started, like last week, with three at the back and Hughes and Traore pushed up. Hughes increasingly dropped back; then Traore and Holliett changed wings and we went back to four at the back He was right to change it, we were so s hit, but it meant all the prep went out the window. If any one can tell me where Keane was meant to be playing I'd be grateful. Four players played to the left today at various times- Traore, Holliett, Morrison and Benayoun. It was a complete tactical mess.

Fair play mate me too.

I'm actually not a fan of Carroll AT ALL really don't rate him but don't wanna see players get slated for nothing.

Have to hold my hands up and say I have not seen us playing three at the back, although I think we should try it, for me this week and last it was flat back four not three at the back

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

3-5-2 last week for sure. Today I saw it as a 4-4-2

[lymehoop]

do we need to freshen things up at the back, reports from HQ telling me Hughes is shocking and Dunne is . . . well, done

[West Acton]

I thought we played 4 3 3 last week

[Stanley]

I thought we played 4 3 3 last week

We started at Charlton with a 3-5-2.

[Rangers77]

3-5-2 last week for sure. Today I saw it as a 4-4-2

Began with three at the back both games Hughes dropped back after ten mins and Clint moved to LB after twenty five mins. Game plan abandoned. And rightly.

My pal just called me. Spoke to AJ. Not injured. 100% fit but not being selected & has been told along with Zamora to find new clubs.

I'd rather Johnson came on as an impact sub than the kid from Man Utd or that useless clown from West Ham.
