hakz7 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Obviously a must-win game but our chances will look a little slim. Either way, come on City! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Need to win if we're to make the 6. Â Looks like: Velaphi; Safuwan, Kisnorbo, Chapman, Clisby; Paartalu(?); Mooy, Melling: Williams, Kennedy, Koren. Â Bench is a big, big problem. Other than Murdocca almost nothing left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I would have Mooy wide left and Koren in the middle JW Â I would have liked to have rested Jacob, but don't think that will be an option. Â By playing Koren deeper and Mooy left we can get Melling forward and maybe control the midfield.

mus-28 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Mooy needs to be in the middle. We'd be an absolute rabble without his ability to cover and then distribute. Get Williams to push as high as possible to feed of Kennedy and make Jamieson accountable. Use Koren as a free roaming left winger and play a variation of a 4-4-2 diamond when in possession and a 4-5-1 when in defense. Unfortunately this isn't the Dutch system using wingers, of which we now have zero effective ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haz Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 We really need to get rid of the wingers and play a narrow formation, atleast until we have decent wingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perthheart Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 At least one positive showed something on the wing the other day. Consistantly mugged Manny Muscat off. Makes you feel sick but if we are going to play our usual formation Ramsay is going to have to start again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n i k o Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 If we're going to choose this as a must win game over the Wellington game then there's something wrong with us. Perth is top of the ladder, a draw will be handy, a win a bonus. If anything the Wellington game after they've come off two losses should have been the game to win.

Â The reason why I want Koren in the middle and a little deeper than he has been, is that he has the ability to control the game with his passing. I would much rather have Mooy has that free roaming player at the moment. Â However, I fully expect Koren to start on the left as JVS is a creature of habit.

GreenSeater Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Why should we change Mooy's role? He's been our best player all season playing in the middle. Don't fix what aint broke. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart_fan Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) We are far too unsettled at this point to expect too much flowing, beautiful football. The best we can hope for at present is winning ugly, especially if Paartalu is still not back. He adds some stability to the middle of the park. The wings are certainly a serious issue for us at the moment, with Ramsey a major liability for us. Might as well get come NYL players into the squad as it will be worth more than persisting with him.

silva10 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Why should we change Mooy's role? He's been our best player all season playing in the middle. Don't fix what aint broke.  Well the team is broke and it needs fixing. Either we bring in other players or look for solutions within the present squad. There is no point in Aaron being star player every week if we fail to win.  Now some will say we should drop Koren and go with a midfield three of Paartalu, Melling and Mooy. I would be prepared to give that a go, but unless we do something about the front three I can't see us winning.  My idea about trying Mooy from the left is to see if he can give us more in the final third than we have at present. Maybe playing Koren deeper will give him the impetus to get more involved and allow us to control the game and attack more.  The only other solution I can think of is if we play a 4-1-3-2 like this:                      Velaphi  Safuwan       Chapman      Kisnorbo      Clisby                      Paartalu         Melling        Koren        Mooy                Williams     Kennedy  With that system we would need to have Safuwan and Clisby getting forward to create width.  Unfortunately, JVS always goes with 4-3-3 and I don't think Koren can play wide left. Also since he isn't interested in playing either Dekker or Espindola, that means we are left with Ramsay.  As I said I do believe we need solutions to get a winning formula. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jovan Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Your talking about JVS moving to a 442 diamond (which is basically what Silva proposed). Regardless of its merits and its suitability to the available players it's irrelevant. JVS has lost all his adventurous traits and stuck dogmatically to his 433. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewConvert Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 yes last season JVS was far more adventurous with his formation and tactics. This season he has stuck to the rigid formula - presumably in the belief that this is the way he wants the team to adopt and we shall keep doing it until he gets it right. It is not working, the fans are not buying it and I suspect that the players are not buying it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I wouldn't mind a draw and we beat Perth...but then again that'd mean that the tards will go on top of the ladder on goal difference and then we'll never hear the end of it...I'm torn!
