5-3-2 formation worth exploring?

[Rodshig]

With the well documented injuries to our wingers, is it time to explore a different formation 5-3-2


Width to come from tete/robinson


                        Leno
Tete.   Tosin.   Diop  Duffy.  Robinson

                Reed.     Palhinha

                       Andreas

             Reid/kebano.    Mitro

[Woolly Mammoth]

Fulham may very well need to implement that formation at some stage of the season if circumstances dictate.

I think we'll know more when the transfer window finishes

Robiinson's finish in attack looks wet, not confident of him delivering as the sole attacker on the left flank.

[CheshireWhite]

I think its a tall order for Mitro to do it himself upfront for a whole season (especially if we don't sign anyone) and Reid is probably the obvious choice.

Given Ream's quality in distribution through two, and the cover he'd have with the extra CB, he'd def feature in this formation.

I think if you go to a wing back system your left and right wing backs should be a bit more dangerous going forward.  That lineup takes even more teeth out of our attack.  Robinson and Tetes end product isnt that high.  The teams that implement the wing back system and excel usually have outside backs that are more offensive in nature and both of hte ones listed there dont qualify as that.

4-2-3-1 is kind of our best system.  Maybe 4-2-2-2 when down late, but I thnk a solid 4-2-3-1 is our best bet

[MickTheBeard]

Looking up silvas record at other clubs he rarely plays 3at back when he has he hasn't faired well.He prefers 4at the back.

[Deuce]

Its a no for me. We dont have the wingbacks for it, nor the CBs. Or the attackers for it.

Wingbacks not good enough going forward. We dont have the quality or the numvers of Cbs and up front Mitro would be too isolated. Even with a qualitt striker next to him, I dont think we'd be able to execute the tactic of a 352/343 with such poor wingbacks.

I'd like to see this formation possibly against stronger sides, it's a shame Robinson can't cross though.

That cross from Tete v Liverpool wasn't too shabby.
