[Albion] Time to change our away tactics?

[Hugo Rune]

Albion legends such as Stephens, Groß & Murray are fantastic at home but should CH be dropping them for away matches where we have a realistic chance of a win due to their lack of pace (and attacking intent with Stephens)??

Looking at the way B’muff break with mass bodies and incredible pace, should we be emulating that?

We have the personnel in Locadia, Andone, Izquierdo, Ali-J, Kayal & Knockeart who have great pace and attacking verve.

Maybe save the family jewels for the Amex?

It was time to change our away tactics at least 6 months ago.

Id love to see us more adventurous away from home against the teams outside the top 6, and we certainly have the personnel to be. Newcastle haven't won a game yet so their confidence will be fragile, I'd be really disappointed if we deploy the same old tired away tactics and allow them to settle into the game nicely with loads of possession

Edit: i wouldn't drop Murray though...

Drop Murray as well then....jury is still out on Locadia re ''great pace and attacking verve''....as regards to Andone hes yet to even a minute in the PL, so a bit of an unknown....out of the ones you quote I'd say Izzy is the only one with ''great pace''

Albion legends such as Stephens and Gross. Are you being serious?

Quite frankly the points return can’t get any worse by trying something different. The starting point should be having a real go at Newcastle. As much as I loathe Smug Eddie the way he has set up his team has a lot to admire about it. Bournemouth are a fantastic counter attacking side and have a number of players that can break at speed. We can play this way and have the players to do. I agree with the OP. I think this is the next step to progressing in this division, being able to pick up 4 or more away wins whilst maintaining a good home record

I think Stephens being a vital part of our promotion team could put him in the Albion Legend bracket. Bit early for Gross, but he was player of the season in our first ever appearance in the Premier League, so he's not far off.

Yes, it would be nice to be more attack minded away from home. I don't expect it though.

Fair point regarding Stephens although I'd expect not to see him feature in an All Time Albion XI - nor Gross. Murray I would expect to feature.

If Watford could finish yesterday Bmuff wouldnof been 2-0 down early doors they went the same way at Burnley, they aren’t that great

No point dropping Murray if Jose plays - Murray will be the main beneficiary from Jose's attacking intent, it seemed to be that way last season anyway.

 

[macbeth]

Would love it to but realistically it's not gonna happen. Not in a million years.

 

[Blackadder]

I can understand setting up ultra defensively for games at the Etihad and Anfield but if we keep playing for a 2 goal defeat at lesser teams, I am going to have to reduce my number of away games.

I am getting a little fed up with hardly any shots and no goals for.

I’m only really advocating dropping Murray from the starting line-up for around 10 away games. Thought the rest he got at City did him the world of good vs West Ham. I don’t think he is a 38+ games a season man now - he should be brought out on special occasions like a fine scotch whisky. Let’s try and get at least another season out of him.

Play 4-2-3-1

I think the attacking line up from Friday, ie Murray up top, then Ali J, Solly and Knocky interchanging behind should give us quite a threat on the counter. Clearly, Izquierdo will now challenge for one of these places.

Yes, we'll concede a few. But if anyone can name the last time we played well playing 4-3-3 .... I'll be impressed with their memory

Almost as boring as no away wins since goodness knows when.
