It will take a manager willing to change the formation - not sure this one will. He hasn't a clue how the prem works and what's needed by teams like us to get results? Not worth having a go at Punch and Ward as in the right formation they will perform to there best abilities. Also, this team requires Cabaye and McArthur. Mind you even with a back four it wasn't good enough last season without Sakho :-( Little Sam is alongside to enlighten him, surely!

Let's be honest we don't have the players to do 3 4 3 plus we need more strikers

We seem to be more interested in playing ball to feet than trying to score ... the players (especially the defence) look lost ... EVERYTHING seems to go through zaha who is bundled off the ball quite easily
They say hard work never hurt anyone ... but why take a chance? |

Either we'll buy the players to make it work or De Boer, who can't be a total mug, will change the system I'm not sure he can, managing Ajax or Inter is very different, you are better than the opposition. This is a relegation slog. Play with this system we will be done by a dozen games in, sides are going to know exactly what to do. Dig in, sit deep and against this side you will get goals. You either have to play with tempo which requires technique which we just don't have and the fact is the premier league is about physicality as well. Rubens-Cheek looks good but he has a presence. Riedeweld is no doubt a good player but he got out muscled. A Delaney wouldn't have (not that I'm advocating Delaney) but you need that steel. And then there is Puncheon who is neither style nor tempo.

Why is Punch ever let near a free-kick?

s*** start. Trying to be positive, could be a blessing in disguise if it kickstarts us into some transfer activity.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

A dire result at home to the pre season relegation favourites. I sincerely hope that this is an early wake up call to all concerned.

Not attempting to be all de boer out and we're going down here but playing this formation means we'll probably have to wait until mid/late September before we register a win imo
