Pacheco. Stick with 4-5-1 and buy Mata and Turan instead.

Yeah, why not?

Thats a hard-discount solution that might work!

Then throw in a brand new top manager for the remaining money!

I mean it's not the formation itself that creates goal attempts, it's the offensive thinking and skills.

A 4-3-3 formation can definitely be more defensive than a 4-5-1 formation!

Exactly. If you want to score goals formation alone isn't enough. Any fluid formation that emphasizes teamwork can create many scoring chances while retaining the ability to keep clean sheets. That is why players like Reina and Gerrard are so effective in such teams, and why we must hang onto people like Agger (if he's not going to become another Aurelio). Teamwork is (one of) the key ingredients we're missing simply because we're just not going out there with a clear idea of how we are going to win the game (mainly because we seem to be told to go out to draw or "not lose by too many so I can say how good our opposition were even when they were shiite").

We don't need another striker - been saying it all along. We DO need at least one quality winger for ANY formation we choose to play, and we absolutely need a quality left back - so if we only have the money to buy 2 players (and the emphasis must be on quality, so two 15 million plus players will be worth it [assuming we have 30 million to spend once we've sold Poulsen and Babel + investment]) so another striker will have to wait until the summer.

Heres one for you, how about sell Torres and pick any two of the above to replace him with as a partnership, that would make us better as a team

Fail.

How long does it take a partnership to develop, particularly one that includes the team changing from 4-5-1 to 4-4-2? You didn't think about that did you? If we have any aspirations of playing in Europe next season your idea cannot be entertained.

EDIT: And obviously we should sell the player who scored all of our last 3 goals, and created most of the rest we've scored this season during games he played.

erm you seem to be missing some thing out. you can buy who the hell you want, messi,xabi,villa but as long as roy is in charge and persist with defending so deep the attackers will be left isolated with no support.

im still convinced that the right manager playing the right attacking formation could make a decent team out of the current squad and with just 2 or 3 additions. mainly we need natural width

Um, which is what I suggested, unless the "Re: thundyr" is just the automated thing. Quoting the bit you're replying to makes a difference.

This thread was about strikers, though; I've given my opinion on the current manager more than enough by now for most people to know I'm not about to write "in roy we trust".

just the automated thing mate...... i do think another good stiker would be a good thing but thats not the answer to our current problems
