Need Buckley to step up to his form from early on, still going to 4-5-1. What we need to do is as against arsenal, get ball moving forward quicker, less side way passing, and above al the fans need to get behind them from the whistle.

Im confused earlier in the season we were playing great foot ball we were just missing a target man to convert all those many chances we created . Now we have that target man And now it appears we are going to change it all and take more risks ??? Can anybody explain to me I dont understand it

Noooooo,... why dont we just for once, do what Gus has rambled on about for the last year or so, and play CMS and Ulloa,... he signs these guys on the premise that they are target men to give CMS a little support and to lighten his wokload, lets see them play.

We haven't had a league game with Ulloa playing in a full team yet, so we don't know how well this would change the way we play.

If going by the Arsenal game, just having Ulloa may make the difference.

; Buckley is still out I think so I recon we will start with;

TK
Bruno Upson Elabd Bridge
Bridcutt Hammond
Lopez Vicente Orlandi
Ulloa

Subs to be used later KLL for Orlandi, CMS for Lopez, and Hoskins for Vicente.

Tactic would be to get Hull running around with slick passing in the first half, and then use the pace of KLL, CMS, and Hoskins in the last half hour.

Like Hovite's team. Although if Buckley is fit would really like to fit him in aswell. On a player for player swap I'd sacrifice Hammond but that may be too attacking and would leave Bridcutt alot to do. Otherwise Dicker for Hammond and then either Buckley or Lopez or Orlandi as first change on the bench. I think the key is faster passing and movement forward and I get the impression things slow when going through Hammond. Really think it is high time to throw Vicente into starting a home game. He now has a dozen or so games to re-make a legendary name for himself before retiring into obscurity! With Ulloa we have new untried combinations at the moment and he may work well with Ulloa. Although always a fan of CMS's running he sometimes seems to be a passenger (really think Gus threw the towell in very early by replacing Bridcutt with CMS last week, someone who is always on the ball with someone who seems to rarely touch it).

Worryingly the last 2 away games I felt we got a bit kicked off the park and unfortunately that may be the way opponents will combat Gus's tippy tappy style especially with all the Spanish contingent back.

Anyway, glad Gus has finally done the Maths and realised Wins and Losses are worth more than draws!

Sorry did I say that I did not like anybody's selections merely stated that we should stop worrying about protecting Liam and back 4 so much and go at teams but if it pleases you

TK
Bruno/Upson/AeA/Brid

ge
Bridcutt
David/Vicente/Buckle

y
Cms/Leo/

Too attacking for gus I know but move the ball out of defence quicker and who knows, would also consider Hoskins for cms.

Buckley can only play on the right and he will be out anyway?

SMF20, what's your starting 11?

Hi Hovite.

If Buckley is out this would be my starting line up. If he is not, he would replace Lua Lua who would drop to the bench.

Kuz
Bruno, El abd, Upson, Bridge
Bridcutt
Lua Lua, Vicente, Orlandi
Cms, Ulloa

I think Lua Lua would, naturally right footed and with pace to beat a man and hit the byline.
Best way to use Ulloa in my opinion is to have him link play and hold the ball up but also for him to be on the end of crosses, Lua Lua is the man for this in my mind.
Also think that a bit of a pace in the team stretches play and thus allows the more technically gifted players like Vicente and Orlandi more time on the ball.

But KLL likes cutting in from the left and shooting with his right.

Happy to go along with Lua Lua on the right as long as you give me £1 everytime he gets to the byline and slices it out behind the goal for a goal kick!

I'm gonna be rich!!! ;-)

He only slices with his left foot :-)

My team for what it's worth....

Kuszczak

Bruno - El Abd - Upson - Bridge

Bridcutt

Buckley - Dicker - Vicente - Orlandi

Ulloa


If Buckley isn't fit enough to start, I'd probably just put Spanish Dave in or possibly put CMS up top with Ulloa and play my lopsided formation!

VegasSeagull wrote:

Back five we know, I owuld add Bruno if fit.

Bridcutt and Dicker, with Bridcutt playing slightly further forward than normal, let the defenders defend, as said by others.

Lua Lua down the middle, attacking midfield role.

CMS out on the left, Buckley on the right and Ulloa up front.

I would say that Dicker is better than Bridcutt in the more forward position. But as I keep saying, Buckley will not be available and everyone keeps putting him in their starting 11?

Hovite this morning has been hard for OK! I am not my usual self and my day is not going how I had planned it OK! I am not having a good one ok! Back 5 to include Bruno. Bridcutt and Dicker. CMS out wide. Ulloa up front. lua Lua attacking from midfield. Hoskins or David given a free role.

Always enjoy your posts Vegas - looking forward to visiting your way in the summer for the first time.... Hopefully 3 points today will cheer you up a bit, sounds like you need it.... I'd play Caldi ahead of Bruno, so much better with control of the ball, delivery of the ball and positionally a better defender...

Various formations being offered and all would appear to be of a more attacking line up, I like that.

The problem I see with this new approach, if Gus goes for it, is that for the last year the players have been taught how to, 'waltz,' and now they might be asked to perform a, 'quickstep,' can they adapt overnight to the new dance.

I fully expect Gus to change things up a little but I don't think that he will throw the kitchen sink at the problem.
