4-5-1 or 4-4-2

[IanM]

how do you think Pat'll set up the night?

I think I already know the answer of 5 across the park.. I'm hoping he'll be more attacking tonight though, Collins/Handling?

[cabbageandribs1875]

no idea how he will set up, but i hope just for once that the players actually get in to the game from the KO....not the usual 20-30 mins, it's getting too much of a habit

[hibbymick]

I cant imagine he will go 5 across the middle against this dross. But hibs need to grab this game by the scruff of the neck from the start.

4-1-3-1-1. Same back 4 as Saturday. OTJ sitting in front of them with Robertson, Thompson, Craig in midfield. Zoubir playing of Collins. It will be a narrow defensive set up

Whether the team is attacking or not has little to do with the formation.

Williams
Maybury McPake Hanlon Stevenson
Robertson Taiwo Thomson Zoubir
Craig

Good old fashioned 4-3-3 with the two wings tracking back when they have possession and the midfield to have their shooting boots on letting the front 3 feed off the resulting loose balls. They scare easily at the back, let's get them in panic mode early.

Like the idea mate. In their faces from the off. Just get right in about them (in a disciplined way if course) and show the fans how much it means.

Big effort made by fans do dame in return from players us minimum required by players.

Dropping McGivern :confused: He's been outstanding recently.

Indeed. Makes zero difference what the formation is tonight. Very simple. Are we going to take the game to them or are we going to play it tight. The answer is obvious to most of us. :flag:

Just think he's prone to a bad mistake.

[Hibercelona]

A 4-4-1-1. With Zoubir or some poor soul in no mans land, with an out and out striker up front that can't get a sniff of the ball. :yawn:

[Mikey]

:yawn:

You are indeed.

[Hibercelona]

You are indeed.

I'm a little less boring than Fenlon to be honest.

[overdrive]

I would go 4-2-3-1

[Keith_M]

I'd go with an old-fashioned 2-3-5 and get in about them for the first half hour, then revert to a 4-4-2 when we're already 5 up :wink:

That's progress from Mr Adams football school of 0-0-10, Germany's obviously having a positive effect on you.
