No wingers and only 1 up front. Can't be bothered anymore. Look at all the other top teams in the league either play 2 wingers or 2 strikers its not rocket science .

Why won't he try 2 strikers in a match - if the 4-5-1 we play had seen us get masses of goals then fine, but we are over half way through the season and only 6 teams have scored fewer than us? Why is he afraid to try - give it a go Oscar for half a dozen games and if it doesn't work then go back to 4-5-1. All the teams in the top 6 have at least two up top who are scoring regularly. I'm bored at trying to play for a draw and possibly nick a late goal on the counter. If we concede then invariably a draw is as much as we can usually hope for. I for one am getting frustrated at the way the team is being set up!

Good work - that should see us win by a few clear goals now

OG obviously doesnt have the confidence that we will scores 3 if we concede 2 so works on the principal of dont concede any and you get a point at least, which to my mind is the correct philosphy

When in doubt play 2 up top, stick to rigid lines and kick it long. The problem with English football
