Tactical Analysis

[TCCANARY 263]

Has anyone been able to explain why the double pivot let us down so badly last night? In the previous 4 games it was the tactic that the experts were lauding as the difference, was last night one of those not ''proper double pivot'' occaisions?How will we be able to get back the double pivot magic?

Wasn''t it a treble pivot last night though?

I think we''ve all learnt that whilst DP''s can be great fun to watch, it is sometimes a bit of a painful and unpleasant experience for those involved.

This is where it went wrong last night.

We should have left Martin & Bassong to deal with things at the back, & had somebody dealing with the front...

[hogesar 9,611]

Maybe that''s why we played Bassong? Stereotypically far more likely to keep it tight at the back, despite fans concerns.

Should we be playing "one in the hole"?

[Rogue Baboon 0]

One up top, one in the hole & 2 at the back.

Its served us well this season...

I think we actually need the shrewd eye of True Grit to help us out here. He checks out and is legit.

Can we still play one in the hole with a false number nine[:^)]
