Randle P McMurphy Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I see after the success of Csaba's conversion of Kara into a defensive midfield player, the *****s and the ****** are jumping on the bandwagon. A good bit to go though before Caldwell and/or Bamba are as effective as the big man has been. The problem with these 2 is that they actually think they are creative midfielders rather than the stop gaps they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 A number of teams have been using defenders in the defensive midfield position, Walter Smith has used Dailly in that role at Rangers as well as Bamba & Caldwell as you mention above. Seems to be in vogue with some managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was outstanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Comedian Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Did you not see Bamba's performance today. I thought he was outstanding He was In the second 45 minutes. That will more than likely be his good game out the way this season. From now on there will be much scratching of dandruff riddled napper's down Leith way regarding yet another Bamba disaster show.

Centre Half in Midfield is just the New 3 at the back, ala 5-4-1, 3-5-1 formation of the 90's. Just a way of hiding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I actually think there is a player in bamba, just a few rough edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csaba's Broon Shoes Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This sums up the SPheLL for me The amount of stoppers snuffing out any creativity / the flair player It's becomming a game of elimination negative cancelation or is it already that 4-5-1 , 4-1-4-1 , 3-5-1 , 3-1-4-1-1 I blame the Italians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cut The Crap Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 JJ used to do it whenever we played a decent team in Europe. Clearly he was ten years ahead of his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy T Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 It potentially has a place for the odd game to stop the other side playing - we did work it well with Alan Mclaren in some games I recall I still debate the need for it when playing gash teams in the SPL.
