Note to MH 17:00 - Nov 4 with 2474 viewsBirminghamR

Dear Mark

Best team/formation (for when Mbia back)

Cesar
Bosingwa Mbia Nelson Traore
Diakete Faurlin
Hoillett Granero Tarrabt
Cisse

Hints
SWP sub at best
Mackie supersub
Zamora to come on when we need ball winner up front
Park to come on for either midfield player of wide player when we want to tighten it up.

My Main Point
Control of games is won or lost in midfield.
Managers should select a formation to get the best out of their squad (not fit team to formation)
The 3 best players at the club (excl Tarrabt) are in midfield
Got to have Diakete Granero and Faurlin in same midfield - just got to
A DFG midfield prtoects the defence, keeps possession and can create.

Oh and one more thing - Adel for captain (passion, commitment, love of club, game changer etc).

You'll just need to sort it out with Ji Sung.

Dont disagree, personally think the only issue is whether any of our three CMs in that formation have the discipline to sit in and protect the defence enough.

But I think the advantage is that this formation could be adapted so that you can play a settled team home or away.

Hughes wont be in the job when Mbia comes back.

M'bia's out for two more games, if he wasn'y should be defensive midfielder.

Cesar
Bosingwa Ferdinand NelsonTraore
Granero Diakite Faurlin
Hoilett Cisse Taarabt

Much the same as yours but Cisse has two games to get the goals, which hopefully he will, if not.

I agree with your points and team selection.

Im still not a big fan of change and not convinced a new manager will give us instant success but i'm not sure how many more times we can excuse slow starts, horrific defending and missing chances... Something has to give.

The players do still appear to be with Hughes and thats about the only positive I have tonight.

I think Hughes biggest mistake as a manger is the squad he has assembled. Its inexcusble to spend the money he has and start a Premier League season with a defence as bad as ours.

Agree 100% that MH should never have started the season without a sorted defence.
Like a kid in a sweetshop buying 2 gobstoppers when he could only eat one- read goalkeepers.
Spending all the pocket money on a whizz bang midfield extra (Granero), not to mention 2 left wingers (Hoillett in tarrbs postion) while not seeing to the basics - a rock solid defence.
Ok - he tried getting Samba.....
he'll learn - but soon enough?...

Interesting point re Mbia playing in mid behind D F G
Good but surely Hoillett and tarbs not got the presence to play up front.
Still think Mbia best placed in CD...but you've given me food for thought here.

It's his natural position, although a decent defender, far better as DM.

With the three behind I think Taarabt and Hoilett could rip teams and be something your standard back four wouldn't expect.

We need the three in mid to boss it.

Two in the middle is old hat.

Cisse is not a lone striker, Hughes has already tried that one.
