Or the playersHe has suggested that the players aren't good enough to play the system he wants to play.
Well bloody change the system then Gus.
Playing only one midfielder capable putting in a tackle is in my opinion gung ho as you put it. I think the debarkle that ensued 2 cnd half would suggest we will never play alvarez and giach in the same starting 11.Although I think that people these days go way overboard with claims of managers being 'tactically naive' and all the rest of that phone in bollocks, no way was the way we were set up having gone a goal down the best way to get a result when we were 2-1 down at home to one of the worst teams in the country, who were only looking to defend.
We didn't need three central midfielders, including one purely defensive midfielder. We didn't need the worst centre forward to have played for the club playing on the left wing, running around in circles away from wherever the ball was played because he didn't have a clue what he was doing. Even with the starting line up and subs that were chosen, we could have gone with two attacking full backs (Jones and Larsson), two central midfielders (say Cattermole and Alvarez / Gomez), two proper wingers to stretch them (Buckley and Johnson), Fletcher up front, with Giaccherini playing as a second striker.
It's hardly gung ho, but it would have provided much more attacking threat than what we were left with.
We won't make progress in these sort of matches until Poyet realises that 4-1-4-1 with an isolated striker is very easy to defend against in circumstances like yesterday.

Ok i see what your saying , i thought you were advocating that MF as a starting 11 , agree .Its not about the system its about the quality of players, Chelsea play the same system but have better players going forward therefore they look more dangerous
Which is fine if you get players like Johnson and alverez on the ball plus a midfielder who can also take it past people.We never break, or attack, with any urgency at home.
We build slowly. Or attempt to.
The oppo is always back by the time we reach half way, so the ball inevitably goes back to the CBs and we start again, from a less favourable position
I'm quite happy with some of our players, the likes of Catts, Vergini, O'Shea and Johnson should form the spine of our team.Or the players
It's slow out from the back. So easy for the opposition to defend against.

Said to me dad yesterday at the game, first time we attacked in numbers, they went up the other end and scored. We were better off soaking up the shite they had to offer and just picking them off.We never break, or attack, with any urgency at home.

He has no plan B - do you not read the SMB?Why will Poyet not change it? Regardless of opposition of situation?
It's a strange one for me. Hull were lacking everything today. We have them the opportunity for a foothold in the came. Slow, predicable and boring.

The rest can go like, I'm not too bothered.
The defence and Cattermole are too slowI'm struggling as to why we sit on the edge of our own box against hull at home ,we must be the only team who do this every game? away from home and play on the counter I understand but the games at home against hull and teams around us we should be pressing high up the pitch
Because we haven't got the players to change it, we are going to lose games, we are a average prem side, we will win games as in mags last wk, and will lose and draw plenty, every time we get beat (which hasn't been that many times) people jump straight on poyets back about his tactics, we will lose games, it was just a shite performanceAnd has taken over 750 million over the last 14 year to assemble. Realistic. Nothing wrong with the system, as long as its made more flexible. We have quality players to be able to deal with hull but it was the lack of attacking mentality and flexibility of poyets formation that hindered us.
I began a possession based team, we lost ki and have since become somewhat of a mismatch club not sure where our strengths are. A midfielder used to come back and bring the ball out as we dont have the defenders to do that. The system was so f*cked yesterday this was not happening and it was left to possibly two of the worst passers in the league of oshea and coates to pick passes and start moves off. Ended up being aimless long balls for the last 30 minutes. Why was this not addressed and changed?

What does it prove, mate?It's a proven system mate,I just wish someone would tell the players what it is.
