At the least they're wingers. <BR/><BR/>And also when I say dictate play, the holding midfielder should do more than just horizontal passing. <BR/><BR/>Sneijder I guess can give some direction.haranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568652137685527235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-429587287882512472007-10-03T09:40:00.000+01:002007-10-03T09:40:00.000+01:00what is Haran Talkin about??? 433 with 5 midfielde...what is Haran Talkin about??? 433 with 5 midfielders? <BR/>You can have sniejdr dictate play, (not diara-duhhhhhhh), i think marcelo needs more game time i think he has alot to offer.<BR/><BR/>Raul's days r numbdered he's been not soo good season in season out save for this season, when will Madrid realise that they have to let him go?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-59472722683379117302007-10-03T05:10:00.000+01:002007-10-03T05:10:00.000+01:00I've been quite worried about Gago, to be honest. ...I've been quite worried about Gago, to be honest. He cannot be used interchangably with Diarra, and the latter seems to work better with the likes of Sneijder. <BR/><BR/>haran's 4-3-3 idea seems good to me, although I note that it might be impossible given that it entails dropping Raul.<BR/><BR/>As for the defence, Cannavaro's lack of pace means that it's safer for him to play closer to Casillas. But to be truly cohensive, it's probably necessary that the defence pushes up closer to the midfielders, who will have to track back more and pressure the opposition higher up the field, which I can't see Guti, Robben or Robinho doing.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807392842004716065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5320842051069026097.post-88569553598084908072007-10-03T00:52:00.000+01:002007-10-03T00:52:00.000+01:00From what I've seen, it looks like Schuster is unc...From what I've seen, it looks like Schuster is uncertain of what the best XI is. He's either experimenting maybe because he thinks we can still win against weak teams like betis, getafe... (as usual our signings come only when the door is about to be shut) or his plans are just not working which I hope is not the case. <BR/><BR/>If we go in for a 4-3-3, with Robben n Robinho on the flanks, Diarra, Sneijder and Guti in the midfield and RVN up front, we can get good pretty football atleast on paper. But, neither Guti nor Sneijder have the capacity to keep good possession (come on guti can hardly stay up) and Diarra is not a Redondo to win balls and dictate play (I would've loved to see Mascherano come). <BR/><BR/>So we need more defensive cover in the midfield. Then move sneijder back and play 4-4-2. But guti can't perform defensive duties. The best position for him is in front of the midfield but where will Raul play then? Neither Robinho nor Higuain track back well, they do it for the first 20 mins. And we don't have a good LB. We either get decent attack from Marcelo or very good defence from Heinze. I say play Heinze there, at least Robben will have more freedom then. <BR/><BR/>I can't even come up with a good starting XI.<BR/><BR/>Forgive me for the rant. Hell... Schuster knows more.haranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16568652137685527235noreply@blogger.com
