It does not work

They opened us up alarmingly at times and Fer on the left does not work. He does not look at all comfortable and we had no outlet on the left wing at all.

In my opinion Wes should have played today and we should not have played 4-4-2. his tactics let Swansea control possession which it what they would have wanted after their European trip.

        Diego Valeri, Portland Timbers, much better option (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Dec 15, 16:19:40
      - Yeah doesnt sound great - never did. Still its only press talk, and Hoots knows a player.. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 15, 16:13:47
- we pretty much play 4-4-2 right now (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 15, 16:03:27
  - Evidently so! Thought it worked well as well. Fer is the key though. (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 15, 16:06:10
    - It does not work (NCFC) - Jim, Dec 15, 16:32:46
      - Swansea would have controlled possession whatever formation we chose (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 15, 16:35:56
- He only started doing that after I'd criticised him publicy on here (n/m) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Dec 15, 16:03:09

  - Not a fan, just don't get what he offers (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Dec 15, 16:07:38
  - I can't read through a game on here now. It's the usual unfathomable BS with added (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 15, 16:04:36
    - Was getting stick from the crowd first half (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Dec 15, 16:09:28
      - A huge number of the crowd are mongs though tbf (n/m) (NCFC) - CB41, Dec 15, 16:15:13
      - Not just him - it was the whole attacking unit that was getting the jeers. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 15, 16:14:22
        
        The ironic cheers were specifically directed at Elmander (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Dec 15, 16:17:08
        
        Yes - I know, I am in the area that does the jeering. He wasn't the only one getting it... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 15, 16:20:43
    - yeah I liked his effort (NCFC) - Charles21, Dec 15, 16:09:16

    - Yeah, we need a new Chatroom of Doom for games (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Dec 15, 16:07:32
    - He seems to do simple, important things effectively (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Dec 15, 16:07:14
      - Exactly. A big muscly Wes, is essentially what he is. Just not the same skill or vision as (NCFC) - Yellalee, Dec 15, 16:11:36
      - He is a bit hit and miss, He has also improved since we switched to a 4-4-2 (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 15, 16:09:11
