Maneki Neko doesn't even try to most of the time

Are you suggesting he can beat people without even trying?
I suspect not, in which case what are you on about?!
He has looked at his best this season especially the early games and has more pace than Beerens, beats the man more than not and delivers better crosses

Saaaaaaaammmmmm I've always thought it would suit us, especially when watching Wales use it at the Euros and seeing Gunter bombing down the wing
Obviously it would work if we spent time on it training, and really learned how to play it, but I don't think we've been doing that
Hence suddenly switching to 3-5-2 would probably be a bit risky, and the months we've spent learning the current system would then pretty much go to waste
Obita is perfectly suited to the wing-back role, although I think he's been a bit hesitant going forward in recent years given he constantly claims he's a winger, it's actually his defending I'm always most impressed with. As mentioned, Gunter's done this at international level for years
Presumably then it would be McShane, Moore and Blackett as the three? I like Jules and Dickie and think they'd be pretty suited to the left and right centre-half roles, although no one seems to really want them anywhere the first team as of yet
Kermorgant and Samuel/Mendes/Rakels would be up top but then how would you pick the three in the centre? I'd like three centre-mids, of which we have an endless supply (Swift, Joey, Evans, Williams, Quinn, Kelly, Wieser), but then you'd have no room for any wingers at all. Stam is hardly going to drop both McCleary and Beerens (on form, he should though), but then you'd still be cutting off any opportunities for people like Harriott, Meite, and newly converted wideman Danzell
So yeah maybe just stick with what's working. At least this gives a chance to have a moan again about how the squad's too big

bcubedManeki Nekotidus_mi2 It's entirely plausible to switch to a 3-5-2 mid game should the situation arise, Van den Berg or Evans can shift to central defence, with Obita and Gunter as wing backs, McCleary can push up front with Swift replacing him on the wing.
weren't we pretty much playing that system for much of the early season.
VDB/Evans dropping into the back line while obita/gunter spent most of their time in the opposite half, and swift was playing as a 10.
yes we were

NewCorkSeth Stam seems to suggest if we are using the 3-5-2 formation and playing well it will end up being a 3-3-4.
Which Im assuming looked a little something like this? Can anyone confirm who was at the match if our shape seemed a little like this at times?
