Many people, like myself, are struggling to see how we’re going to get any more points this season. The more I think about our run-in of bloody hard fixtures, the more i’m starting to think whether a change of formation might help us to keep things tight, make us hard to beat and maybe grind out a couple of draws that should be more than enough to guarantee our survival. I’m thinking the 5-2-2-1 that we played against Chelsea.
Yes I know we got soundly beaten that day but we actually played well and we gifted them 2 early goals and should have had 2 pens that could have changed the whole picture. I’m wondering whether it’s worth another try - particularly against Burnley where they haven’t got the exceptional quality to open us up like the top 6 teams.
Many are calling for Goldson to play, why not start him alongside Dunk & Duffy ? which would also provide extra cover for Schelloto and Bong / Suttner (personally I prefer Suttner) and give us another good option on our attacking corners. Have Stephens & Kayal / Propper sitting in front of the defence, Gross & Izquierdo or Knocky in front of them and one up top (either Muzza, Locadia or Ulloa).
It’s time to grind out some ‘ugly’ results. Anyone else think this is worth a try ?
