What was it FDB said after Huddersfield

"I think we don't have to use excuses for our style of playing, because the system is not so difficult to play, it's quite easy"

It's probably very easy if you were FDB, with FDB's ability to read the game and playing alongside players of similar quality.

He is playing against every strength we have and look what happens when you try and change too much too quickly.

3-4-3

The first performance looked like a duck

The second performance swam like a duck

The third performance walked like a duck

The fourth perfomance has just quacked like a duck


It's a duck, a F***** lame one at that.

Perhaps his bruv should moreso.

There's an age old argument about fitting players to style or style to players. What we have right now are players who don't fit the style the manager wants. What has to happen during the international break is the manager fit his style to the players he has, which IMHO is a return to four at the back and a more direct style of attack from the off. Possession just for possession's sake doesn't work. Putting defences under pressure does. I realize we didn't have either Zaha or Loftus-Cheek today but the other players have to step up and RdB has to realize this. Otherwise he will be out the way he went out last year.

 


We move in the direction of our thoughts.
Just think a little.

We won't be sacking FDB until we have new signings as players won't come to the known. So with this in mind it gives FDB 2 more games to turn it around.

I do wonder if he'll relent and move to 4-3-3 for the first game back. If we can get Sakho in then a back four of TFM-Dann-Sakho-PvA/or Ward/or Schlupp looks pretty good with Luka in front.

Please don't let Martin Kell-amit-y play again. He might have been cold on the first goal, but for the second he looked like a pub footballer.

Frank has shown a willingness to adapt during games, he just needs to get the team starting better. Puncheon was once again ineffectual and when Cabaye came on he accentuated his deficiencies. Ward actually had a reasonable game and although Townsend didn't score he did make more effort than most.

The most painfully obvious thing is that without Zaha we are a shadow of a team and so we desperately need a new forward/winger to give us an extra threat. Ayew was the type of player we could do with. Someone who is quick, strong and who will bully defenders into mistakes.

Despite being woeful we actually had far more chances than Swansea to win.

Dougie is not the unknown

So we buy players FDB wants, then sack him. How does that work?

Get rid of him and send him back to his tulips and see if he can make them grow in a 3-4-3 formation.

Think SP has two options.

1/ Keeps faith with FDB and his system and throw a load of money at the TF market and hope it works out ok.

2/insist FDB changes his formation to that which most suites our available players - and if FDB doesn't agree be prepared for him to go.

Reckon 1/ is riskiest particularly financially especially if we still ended up relegated.

Regarding 2/ SP loose face and, would mean DF taking over at least short term.

Needs to be sorted by 1st September!
