Closed Reading v Chelsea

[Pizy 18,368]

*Sigh*

Reading will be well in the game with Turnbull in goal. Fuck sake. Injuries to Cech in such a short time.

[The Rising Sun 710]

Ryan Bertrand is not a Left Midfielder , and not a Left Winger.

That is all.

For this game. And forever.

I hope we play the right personnel and formations that suit the players and a system..... for some reason we as a club are stuck with a 4-2-3-1, when it is possible our strengths lie in other formations.

[AndersonBLUE 819]

I would start Ba and Torres up front here. No better time to try this. if we lead and need to consolidate, move Torres to the left wing. Can't do worse than Marin can he?

Cech

Azpilicueta Ivanovic Terry Cole

Ramires

Oscar Mata

Lampard

Ba Torres

I actually really like this. People are saying put Ba on the wing byt just NO. He is a striker and a fantastic one. With both them playing up top I can see Torres feeding off the scraps rather than try make his own goals which he is appalling at. It could work. Something needs to change anyway. Hope RB at least tries something like this but because of such a congested fixture list doubt he has alot of time on the training field to try it.

Luiz n Big pete out tomorrow -boooooooo!

Sign Butland

Hilario

[Ankit 3,176]

Found this on twitter. Sigh, we can have 2 teams from the player we have sent on loan.

agree

4-3-3 is the best usually but at the moment we are fucked anyway cos we got no DM, so a 4-1-2-1-2 with the midfielders interchanging in some way would be adequate. But it is feckless as we all know we got no tactical plan B and Rafa will continue with a 4-2-3-1. the problem is u have to play one out of Marin, Bertrand, Torres.

I bet we will lineup this:

---------Turnbull-------

Azpi--Iva---Terry---cole

-------Lamps-Rami

oscar----Mata-----Bertrand

-----------Ba------------------

I havent really thought the 4-3-3 system properly, but a 4-3-1-2 would be perfect for us IMO.....

-------------Cech------------------

Azpi----Iva-----Terry--------cole

---Ramires Lampard Oscar---

Mata

BA----TORRES

It is similar to a 4-1-2-1-2 formation, where Ba and Torres are responsible for creating play, by collecting , making interplay amongst eachother, then one pass to a midfielder, while both of them make runs into space.

One striker is our downfall, we simply need two....

Ross Turnbull will continue in goal for the Reading game having made his fifth start of the season at Brentford.

[Laylabelle 9,359]

Oh yay!

[AndersonBLUE 819]

Turnball looks like your regular dude you meet down the pub, eating bacon fries and peanuts with a pint of lager at the bar

[communicate 2,703]

Luiz is injured which mean lamp and ramires again.

Turnbull, Lampard/Ramires, Marin, Oscar on the wing....I just hope there is no Torres.

[Backstreet09 499]

Why do we play Lampard as a central midfielder ? He clearly doesn't have the legs to defend , we should try him as our No.10 and play Mata with Ramires , he will dictate and control the match much better and effectively . What we clearly are missing so far.

the problem is that besides Rami and Lamps we don't have anyone who could play in that "double pivot" or however you call it.
