Whoever is left in the middle would have to do it without thinking that they have help there. So, there may be hope. I certainly liked the way the team looked when they went to the 3-4-3 at the end of the game. I'm not sure that he would go with that for a whole game though, especially with Pope missing in the back.

Well it's about time! The only really good defense is a great offense, and we have to have enough people up front to sustain it.

I think that the 4-5-1 has been part of the problem all along. One person up front isn't enough. If you get a long ball, they know where its target it. There's only one possibility! Kreis gets surrounded and pounded every time. He's supposed to shoot a goal when he's surrounded by 4 or 5 defenders. It's just not reasonable. If they had at least one more forward, then at least the defenders would have to split up and guard two players.

The best defense is to take the ball to the other team and keep attacking. You have to have enough manpower up front to do that.
