The team Rene should have played...

[alexbishop]

        Stockdale
Riether   Hughes  Amor   Riise

            Boateng

     Sidwell       Karagounis

Dejagah                        Kaca/Kasami

              Hugo


Not a great deal different BUT still rests Parker and keeps three in midfield so we can retain possession. Gives us an attacking threat down the right hand side with a tried and tested combo of Dejagah and Riether.

We had zero width today.

[Stefano Okaka Chuka]

Agreed. It was baffling to change our system in the first place and also to play Ruiz and Zverotic.

[sunburywhite]

We should have played Torquay

[Bassey the warrior]

    Sidwell       Karagounis

Disagree with this. We need Kasami down the middle, he's wasted out wide. I'd have played this team:
Stock
Riether Hughes Amore Riise
Boateng
Dejagah Sidwell Kasami Richardson
Rodallega

I think Kara's a good player but Sidwell has to be preferred simply because he can score and Kasami has to play centrally as he can score and create. Sidwell cannot play the holding role.
