I personally prefer 4 3 3 with zaha and Townsend out wide I just can't see Roy nor sticking with 442 and even if we offload benteke I can't see us spending nowhere near as much on a striker in the summer.

This has to be a windup McClean has claims to being the worst player in the Premier league. An attacking player who produced 1 goal and zero assists(even allowing for 2 per goal) last season. Good bet for a card though. He's the poor man's Puncheon The only running he does is as a headless chicken

Saying that I would have him back just because of his infinity and surprise performances. I think if bfs leaves yannick might be out the door for a reasonable cost. I think his heart is still here anyway.

In response to the OP, I guess Roy will put out whatever formation he feels will get the job done with the resources he has available. It's quite unusual for us to have a manager who has far more tactical nouse than most previous ones. Having spent god knows how long with a succession who only had Plan A or Plan A it takes a bit of getting used to. What is clear is that every player will know their position, role & exactly what is expected of them game by game. Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Zaha is now a striker not a winger, he will play central mainly with more of a free role, a new mobile top class striker is needed then Townsend can play wide in the four, I think another holding midfielder so we can play Luka and the new one against the better teams, new keeper as well, deadwood out, job done, could you imagine Wilf and AJ at his peak up front, Wow “That’s a joke son, I say, that’s a joke.” “Nice boy, but he’s sharp as a throw pillow.” “He’s so dumb he thinks a Mexican border pays rent” “ “Son… I say, son, some people are so narrow minded they can look through a keyhole with both eyes.”__ Forhorn Leghorn

Roy is not going to change from 4-4-2. The only question is who he brings in over the summer and who goes out. A Zaha/Bentenke partnership in theory should work really well if Tekkers can find form/confidence. The other option is we bring in someone like Long who might not score loads but will run for 90 minutes putting pressure on the oppositions backline. At the moment we have three big strikers, so it would be good to have at least one alternative option.

Originally posted by rikz So the last couple of months we've gone for a 442 with 4 central midfielders and zaha and Townsend up top, unbeaten in our last 6, finishing top of the form league. If it's not broke then don't fix it, what do people think, will roy stick to this system next season ? My thoughts are we have a cheaper alternative to benteke In sorloth and the club would be willing to offload benteke to invest in other areas of the squad. Chelsea will probably price us out of loftus cheek so if we play this system, 2 players that would be perfect to go for would be shaqiri and Moses. Shaqiri would be a cheaper alternative to cheek and Moses would be perfect playing on the right. Without the ball we could leave Townsend up top and let zaha drop back on the left in a 5 man midfield and when we have the ball imagine how terrified the opposition would be with zaha, shaqiri, Townsend and Moses running at them. we are only playing this system because it suits our substandard squad i.e. we don't have a competent squad. Is this were a miracle formation then all the top teams would be deploying it. Our system next season will hinge on what players we get in. We need a centre forward so that we can have a better configured midfield with a clear attacking focal point.
