| That is how you replace a player with a system 18:53 - Aug 26 with 1920 views | E20Jack |
A lot of people on here could not fathom how a system could replace a player. Today was a fine example. Not a vintage display but we defended as a unit, kept possession, knocked the ball around and put the pressure on at the right times. As a result players such as Ayew got the chance to score when ordinarily they wouldn't.
So someone coming in doesn't have to replace the goals and assists of Siggy. The system change should replace the majority of them by allowing others to score more than they normally would, as long as the players that are brought in continue to be of sufficient standard. We do look two positions short, one at right wing back and another in the wide attacking midfield role.
I hope both get filled although suspect now that only maybe Arias will be brought in as well as the Bony/Llorente transfer.
Very positive. |  |

A lot of people on here don't think beating the worst team in the Prem demonstrates very much of anything.
As you say, very positive, but I think I'll wait a bit longer before deciding that we won't miss Gylfi, thanks. |  | | |

We lost to far worse teams last year, including 3 times to Hull. | |

We only won 2-1 at Palace last season so 2-0 is an improvement. |  |

Not necessarily. Palace might be worse than last year. |  |

We haven't replaced a player with a system (yet), we are still at least one player short.
Put someone genuinely creative at the top of the diamond, or even sign Bony, play Tammy in Ayews role and Ayew in Fers and you will have defensive stability and a bit more danger up front.
None of that is a knock at Fer by the way, we just need a bit more cutting edge in the final third and that system will be great. | | | |

today we were far far stronger as a unit - PC is a smart tactician
Clucas' contribution to the first goal was immense - a position Gylfi woulda stymied from a CDM | | | |

Funny how a positive scoreline makes people forget a fcking miserable first half.
I know we've been boring long ball team for a few years now but until Clucas made that forward run in the lead up to Tammy's goal there wasn't an ounce of creativity or invention to our attacking play. | | | |

Exactly, why can't we put pressure on other teams like Palace did in the last ten mins, or score spectacular goals like Bournemouth? West Ham also looked very exciting on the ball today, very easy on the eye, i could watch them all day. |  | | |

We were the away team FFS. What did you want, to play exactly into Palace's hands?
People need to start realising quick sharp, Barcelona we are not and home and away is a different sport.
We play Southampton at home next, we'll do to them what they did to us, except we'd score.
4 points from these 3 games is bloody immense. |  |

Except for Ayew's diving header that he probably should have scored. | | | |

Maybe but that Palace game last season was a classic and a turning point in our season. Alan Curtis

So the header by Ayew on 3 minutes, the blocked shot by Fer on 7 minutes, the shot blocked by Tammy on 36 minutes, Alfie's header miss on 37 minutes, Tammy offside on 37 & 41 minutes don't count as creative then? | | | |

I think you might be confusing "creative" with "creating"... | | | |

Ah, got it now, creating chances isn't being creative.
What does "creativity" do exactly? | | | |
