Chris Ramsay tactical genius

[Ginger Ninja]

Who thinks Taraabt could be key for the scum game??

Not me. Absolute liability. Not fit and doesn't care. The very opposite of what we want for the Chelsea game.
Hoilett for me. No other option.

EDIT: I forgot about Traore. Another option, did alright last night.

[West Acton]

Onuoha, caulker and dunne if we play three at the back, dunne in the middle of the three. Isla on the right and matty on the left if we have to play that formation, middle should be Barton, sandro and fer and austin and bobby up front.

Why does everyone want to keep playing our main threat who has been on fire on the right out of position on the left

When he has been put on left he has gone out the game and done nothing. He is setting up chance after chance and scoring from the right leave him in his best position why weaken us.

If we do three at back Isla gets dropped Phillips does what he does last night and we find an answer, probably Traore who done well, for the left

Agreed. But with three at the back there is room for a creative in midfield, and Taarabt has good form against Chel*** Something like:

Green

Onouha Dunne Caulker

Phillips Sandro Barton Traore

Taarabt

Austin Zamora


Might work. Or Kranjcar for Taarabt...

Edit, or maybe it should be Doughty in the hole? He looks good to me.

[West Acton]

Niko is turd but in his defence he's no left winger. If he plays it's in hole creating or off the bench other then that he don't get a sniff in my book

[MattyRangers]

I've given him stick previously but hats off made some great changes last night and also got it bang on against WBA - pleased for him.

[Rangers77]

352 Assuming no Dunne (who woukd replace Caulker)
Green
Onouha Caulker Hill
Phillips Barton Sandro Henry Traffic Cone
Zamora Austin

I never, ever thought I'd ever list Traore in a team. If not him then (gulp) Holliett. Dunno about not wanting Adel beside you in the trenches. He's not even on the Western Front to want.

Agree totally tarabt against chelsea would be suicide
as for Ramsey still feel he's out of his dept but learning on the radio he said it was Bond & Hicthcock who told him to change it, but in 2 games we've made changes that have word bringing Hill on at WBA when Yun kept gettig isolated on the far post in the air and going to a 3 at the back gave thm more protection,with 2 wide players

[qprted]

completely

completely disagree with you he put pout the wrong starting format hw should have played henry sandro and barton in midfield,you need these three against chelsea or else we get destrroyed

[swede]

We were second best.. Change of players and tactics on 50 mins and changed the game

Best subs I've known in 32 years of going

He gets the job for me next season...

I'm ready for the onslought of criticism

Starting with Kranjcar, who cost us two goals and shouldn't have been an option is not my definition of a tactical genius.

What is it with people's fascination with switching Phillips to the left flank? If anything right now he should be the first name on the team sheet on the right wing. Our team should be setup around his strengths if we want to stay up as he is our main threat atm. If we play the formation you suggest why don't we just play isla on the left? If whoever on the left is going to be ineffectual we may as well have Phillips on the right who has proven to be our most creative player over last few games.

[Shania]

Quite frankly, what he did last night was to sort out the mistakes he did in the first half.

[West London is Rss]

If we could fvcking defend, we'd be mid-table.. We'd be a Palace sort of side

[Shania]

Dunne cannot play CB on his own because he is too slow. If we have 3 at the back then I don't think we can play Dunne. For me it would have to be Ned in the middle.

We have a real problem at RB. Isla struggled today and defensively I think he is a liability. If we play him against Chelsea we are likely to get murdered. But Caulker is poor. I don't really see any good formation with 3 at the back. In fact, I don't really see any good defensive formation at all. I'd like to see Ned and Dunne in the middle but then RB is a problem. Maybe we could try Hoilett there - I've always thought he is quite strong in the tackle (like in the 90th minute at Wembley...

Henry played at RB once, but against Chelsea Im not so sure he has got the pace....

Agree mste. People will be suggesting we play austin in centre mid next if we're short in the middle

[Bracknell Neil]

I seriously think we are as important as the 12th Man on Sunday . If we can create an atmosphere of hate like the 1-0 Helgusson game we've got half a chance. Even Fat Frank was visibly shaken at the hostility. The cup game on the other hand was tame..
