Title: How will Bryan Ruiz fit into our team?
Post by: ImperialWhite on August 30, 2011, 09:35:46 PM
At Twente he was a wide forward in a 433, as was Dembélé at AZ Alkmaar - do you think we might try this?

More importantly, do we look to Bryan Adams or the Monty Python's Life of Brian for chant plagerism?

Clint's an Arsenal player for sure!  :hook:

Sorry - was going for an Eredivisie theme. I'm sure Dempsey would be superb in any of the three forward roles.

Change for any of the front three. A backup for Bobby, Jerome for example and we are pretty good. We also have Duff, Davies and AJ.

He can play up front and out wide, which is great news for us.

4-2-3-1 with Zamora up top supported by Ruiz, Dempsey and Dembele would be insane

A 4231 is more likely, since it is a glorified 442 in essence. Think it is more Jol's cup of tea than a straight up 433.

I just like the idea of a 433 - 3 central players controlling play and creating, and 3 forwards who have more license to attack than they do now. Hopefully it would it would unshackle us a little bit, and stop our attacks being so stilted and predictable.

         Murphy-Sidwell
Ruiz                                Dempsey
          Zamora-Cisse

May work, maybe too offensive

May be too offensive?

Would be crazy. That said, would love to see it!

Thats exactly what i would go with, its looking very attackive. Still i think we do need back up for Bobby Z in case of injury so hope Jerome signs tomorrow as well.

Never will we have the option of all of those guys. It's a rotation game this season too.

Granted.

Thank you!

Hope he delivers.
