I think our formation is fine. It creates barrell loads of chances and once our attackers stopping spooning them on purpose we will be alright.
Wolves oveloaded the left and hand on saturday in the second half. Shame the quality of their delivery wasnt up to much. Shaun should probably have done a bit more to help Micah in the last 15 minutes.
You're right it's incredibly liquid & how the fuck you play against it when we get it right, I don't know! It's not one up front tho mate. If it's supposed to be I don't know but it wasn't. Tevez was often further forward than Ade & Robbie was pretty much up there most of the time too.
When we formed up for a goalkick etc though it was 3 in a line narrowish midfield but then when we got the ball SWP was joining the forwards & sometimes Ireland & Barry formed a 2 but often they were going forward as well or Barry was sitting then coming forward late down the left. If we could win stuff playing like that it'd be special! How you'd write it on paper is anyone's guess but it was pretty much two lots of three when they formed up into shape. The back 4 seemed to be a lot tighter together than last season as well.
Late on SWP ended up left with Ireland, Barry covering more on the right! It would've worked on the break if Bellamy had been a bit better. De Jong wasn't exactly Roy K**** when he came on & didn't do that well either imo.
