Conway/Lath

I had to check that Conway was still on the pitch at FT as I hadn't seen him for more than an hour. Sunderland spoiled our cunning counter attack plan by going ahead so were able to put 11 behind the ball. Carrick solution: Endlessly passing sideways in front of that producing a similar effect to using a pea shooter against a brick wall.

Conway was dropping into little pockets of space all 2nd half, but we found him on very few occasions
 
I'm really hoping we are only playing Conway as a 10 due to the McGree situation.

Azaz cannot play on the left. He came under stick last season when we tried. He's a No10.

So by Playing Conway as a 10 we've created an issue we didn't have. Hopefully it's going to be McGree left / Azaz 10 and for now Conway down the middle. LL looks miles off it. That said gives us a hell of an option off the bench.

We've had to bring on Bergzorg down the middle today. He's not a CF. I'd rather Coburn had stayed. He's more of a goal threat.
 
He's a no9.
Play him as a no9.
Conway arriving for that header was exactly the way it can work positively, it gives you the extra threat. Itall a balance that we're not quite finding yet though overall. We didn't get balls into the forwards quick enough today

What does Lath give us as a 9?
If teams defend deep, like everyone seems to be now they've worked out that's the way to play against us, the answer is nothing.

Once teams nullify his pace, he gives is very littl
 
I’d like to see Doak in and Jones switched to the left. We are weak defensively down that side and Jones is certainly a defensive cover upgrade on Azaz or McGree for that matter. Having Jones and Doak on the pitch might stretch teams enough to open up some space in the middle.
 
I wouldn't be surprised to see doak improve massively but at the minute he hasnt offered much.

Not quite getting the for dropping Jones.

Created both our chances today and was responsible for 2 penalties.
 
Conway not his fault but has completely fuucked the balance of the team both azaz and latte are having to adapt to new positions. Its not working. Azaz or Gilbert need to play 10 and either latte or conway 9. Personally i would play latte 9 given his record last season trying to shoe horn both into the team has failed.
 
I don’t understand why there is a clamour for Conway to start ahead of Latte Lath.

There is precious little being created for LL just now. He’s not missing sitters, he has very little to feed on.
Conway is not a 10 in this set up.
Azaz stifles absolutely everything but seemingly has to play.
Jones is constrained by Conway being shifted right to let Azaz wander even when he’s supposed to play LW.
Hamilton is not ready and Doak has only just got here.
Bergzorg is awful.

We’d be so much better with McGree and Forss, but will they ever be fit/ ever be chosen by Carrick?

Agree Conway wouldn't start for me either its funny for all the summer signings the only one i would start would be morris i would still have mcgree left forss right azaz 10 latte 9 when fit.

Azaz is the first player in the side I’d drop, he is a problem.
