AncalagonTheBlack Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 2 wins fellow Reds, TWO TWO... A pity we didn't beat Watford, we could have won it at Goodison. Just imagine the state of the Everton fans! Anyway, looks like we could be wrapping it up against Palace at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their attacking patterns were just working like clockwork last season, and teams rarely even tried to attack against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Oh yeah one thing I wanted to comment on that I appreciate about this 3-5-2 (ish) formation that Solskjaer's done, that Fergie used to do and none of our managers since have really managed the knack of, is that it's an assymetrical formation that really takes advantage of the players' styles. Using AWB's greater defensive ability to shuffle the whole defensive line across so Shaw can play in a hybrid sorta role that maximises his ability to play out from the back and pass while doesn't rely on his average crossing, pushes Williams forward even by WB standards so his defensive problems are covered for while his crossing is put to best use, and Martial and James being almost an offset front two with Williams covering back to fill in the gap that AWB's being less of an attacker leaves... it's really good. Whether he can maintain that strength if the key players get injured and someone else has to cover will be a mark of how much he's really improving as a manager.
