Subject: [nt] vs Portugal Part II - The Revenge

I'd like to see more 3 striker sets on the national side. At least *something* different.

See the game against Honduras.

Although do you mean for important games?

Yeah.

Sometimes 1 striker tactics can be the most effective ones!

i dont think i would ever use 3 attackers unless im training striker on attackers.....i think using 2 strikers is enough....

A lot of striker trainers moan about using 3 up front too, the extra man up front does not seem to make a whole lot of difference a lot of the time.

i'd rather put that extra forward in midfield.......


PS. i just noticed we cant use patterson next week!

but stokes' form is going up :DD

i love to use 3 strikers :P, there will be always a place with out a def (only if u play 5 def in line)

I like using 3 attackers. Although one of them generally supports the midfield.

Patterson keeps on being rubbish though!

Will be a good opportunity to use another striker though.

maybe you'll consider Stokes?

Yes I would love to see my baby back on the pitch in the Red White and Blue.

As for the 3 striker debate. I think it all depends on what kind of strikers you have. I have a lot of success having extra strikers around to pick up loose balls that pop out from failed tackles. The second striker picks up the "fumble" and is able to get a good shot.

Maybe. I'll have a look nearer the time. Will probably look at striker skill more than anything for the game against Honduras, maybe with Madsen scooping up any leftovers to try and get as many goals as possible. If Portugal manage to beat Nederland we will still need every goal possible to make certain of 2nd place, as Nederland are no easy team to beat.
