3-6-1. It seems
Ogbene strange call. Kenny incapable of not making random selection. Can ogbene play inverted and come centrally? Find it strange idah doesn't play as a focal point for Robinson to play off. Are we hoping to be pinned in and looking to hit ogbene wide on the break ? If that's the plan it's fairly grim.
It seems a 3-6-1 to me. He is gonna flood the midfield with playersOriginally Posted by Fixer82
On paper and on player's characteristics it seems a 3-6-1 with McGrath and Ogbebe as double false 9
Was nearly two years between his first and second cap. His fifth cap was the France game where he was sent off.
Coleman one of the 3 CBs then?
Doherty right wing back and Stevens Left wing back
I hope it works.
Worked for ourselves in Mexico 86. 3-6-1 valdano all alone
I'd imagine his pace and athleticism against a somewhat makeshirt Portuguese defence is behind the thinking.
It's a simplistic tactic I think. You lneed to have the footballing ability to go with that and awareness to get into those spaces otherwise you have a sprinter out wide not contributing and hoping for a Hollywood ball to put him away. I just don't think that will wash against a side of Portugal quality
Ah ref c'mon now
We're struggling to stay in the game so far. Ogbene, who plays asa wingback when he does start for his club, has contributed very little. Idah, who played well in Portugal, would have provided a focal point to the attack that seems lacking.
Ogbene hasn't impressed me at all but maybe Kenny knows something I don't. We're definitely not good enough to play this way, keeping the ball on the ground and passing it about. We keep giving away possession cheaply. Matter of time before Portugal get a few goals.
Great shot from Robinson but I think the Portuguese have figured out that all they need to do is put pressure on Bazunu and they're basically guaranteed to gain possession from one of his kicks.
This ref is ****e. A Danilo dive gets us a yellow. Not their first time trying it either. Portugal will lap this up now
Ref giving us nothing. Danilo was all over Ogbene there, but Ogbene gets booked.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
If there was ever a game to return to hoofball this is it.. the Portugese defence look ropey as hell.. balls over the top all night
Ogbene needs to make more of a nuisance of himself. (Assuming that's what he is there for.) He's standing off a bit too much.
I’d leave Ogbene on. I think he’s growing into it, as we are overall. And if we are to play balls over the top he has the pace to trouble them.

Defensively solid enough considering their quality in attack.
Really struggling up front. Robinson is lively but the game is passing Ogbene by, it's not a role that suits him at all.
If we concede a goal from that f**kacting around the back i'll break my tv. At best, we are breaking even with a long punt like the keeper could have done in the first place. At worst, we hand that a chance/goal.
My apologies for the comment above.. predictive text.. meant to say so far and didn't realise my mistake
