Any self respecting Coach will  change the formation to tackle different teams with certain styles of playing. bearing in mind his own player availability but this strict adherence to 3 5 2 is stupid in the extreme.

 

can you give Arsene Wenger a call and ask him to change his tactics every now and again.....

[RD 19 We're having some visitors over at AAMI]

Luckily, victards will try and attack us and not have 9 men in defence. We should easily win this with counter attacking football

Yes, competition for positions can only make the food team stronger. Maybe we need to introduce a marquee food stall, Heston?

Espndola to Hume City. I did not realise that he was an injury replacement for Brown, always just assumed he was on a youth contract 

He's better than brown. Shame really

This is the fucking sausage thread, start a new good damn thread if you want to talk cevapi. 

 

Have some respect

I understand why we grabbed Hughes. Good pedigree, but age and injuries make this a bad choice. I hope he is good for the young guys like Chapman on the training paddock...... I mean Germano treatment centre

The Albanian Sharp Shooting Tard was given international marquee status because he has shown he can score reliably and the Tard supporters identify with a 'tricky,' aggressive, c*nt style player 

Bruno has produced a club and HAL record breaking run in front of goals, our fans luv him, he shows passion on the field and just seems to be a great, levelheaded bloke off it according the the interviews I've read. He deserves marquee status.  Just think we gave Koren a bag full of money for what?

Double spacing, very professional

Because gambling is just too big a part of their culture, so much so that I don't think they can separate it from sport, hence why the CSL is so corrupt.

Let's also not forget no one is going to invest in CCM for purely business reasons because they'd have to be retarded to do so.

By all means, lump 1.3 billion people into the same stereotype

I don't mind 3-5-2 as a plan B but I will be disappointed to see us persist with it, especially against teams who play 4-3-3. I have attached a couple of pages from Jonathan Wilson's book Inverting the Pyramid which has a part called the decline of 3-5-2. Most teams today play 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 is not effective against it due to 3 centre backs marking 1 centre forward. Also if the wingers in a 4-3-3 play high up the park and force the wingbacks to sit back it becomes 5-3-2.

The other example shows 3-5-2 being very effective against 4-4-2.

3-5-2 can be effective but if the opposition coach knows what he is doing it can be exploited.

Such a fucking good book

Care to take another crack at it?

But I agree, it's one of my favourites.

Paul Van Der Haar, Essendon FC club legend, would have fish and chips the night before the game (back then all AFL games were on a Saturday at 2:10pm) and then at half time a couple of tinnies and cigarettes. He was an automatic selection each week.
