Ross does like it but for doesn’t think he can play it with the midfielders we have. Inexcusable really.

Given we've only got 3 senior pro CMs (Marsh being an RB now) shows where squad still needs investment. Neither Clay nor Wright are up to it in a pair alongside Cissé so bring someone in who is over summer. It's one thing preferring 4-3-3 but another being unable to play anything else through lack of player options.

Would like to see Marsh / Cissé pairing tried out as those two haven't had chance to play alongside each other yet.

I quite agree....a 244 formation is needed.

Kick and rush is what it's all about.

Even though Clay has been one of the better players since Cisse joined.
I think the pair of them could play in a 4-4-2.

Only one way to find out and that's to play them in the remaining games and see what works. Need to find out now so the recruitment can be bang on over summer.

RE should be trying out various combinations of players in the next 11games which should incorporate both midfielders and attackers. No use sticking to a 433 if we keep playing rubbish . Now is the time to experiment not the start of next season.

So is he admitting our midfielders are not good enough ?

That’s how I heard it, without him actually saying it.

My fear is if Sotiriou has to play wide to accomodate Johnson, he won't score many goals.
