Pennywise Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 A very rare thing indeed in the modern football game. Obviously few teams play with two upfront these days, so there is less chance of two players 'clicking' to form a the unique partnerships of old. The team that I think does this best at the minute is Watford with the Ighalo and Deeney, and to a lesser extent Leicester with Vardy plus one other. Anyways with regard to the Pars, we have played with Fais and Moffat together upfront for a while now and it's annoying to see that they still don't work together as a pair. They often make similar runs and don't often seen to be working for each other. I'm not saying they don't do any work at all, but I don't feel that they're getting the best out of each other. On Saturday against Ayr there were numerous occasions when one of them had the ball and was presented with the opportunity to play the other person in, and they constantly refused to do so. Both quality players in their own right but frustrating to watch when they could really have struck up a good relationship by now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 You're right, it ain't working for me either.I feel we lack a direct physical presence in the box to attack incoming balls in the air and across the box. We are getting crosses in but we need that push for the ball, mix it with the oppositions defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Faiss' biggest problem is that he chases too many lost causes IMO.He keeps coming deep, or chasing down pass-backs to the keeper.He should be sitting right on their last defender, as there will be few centre halves in this league that will get anywhere near him.Moffat is good at linking the play, and coming deeper, and I can see what people are getting at about them making the same runs.The team are winning though, and part of that is down to the consistency of selection from AJ, something that was never the case last year.

Captain Deadpool Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 For a pair who don't work together, they've scored many a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Point is I suppose they should score more.Moffat still plays too deep, battles outside the box to get the ball into the box, that isn't his job, least not as I understand it, leave that to others.Fais is still developing and he'll get better the longer he plays.

sabino Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 It is difficult to play as the old fashioned "pair" when both wingers continually come inside.Although it has been extremely successful with Cardle scoring as many goals as Faisal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secure Par Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 If it could happen i would like to see Moff and Faiss up front and Wallace sitting behind them in an attacking midfield role.Only if/when the league is won though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 It might be more difficult to play 2 up front next season though. Who Knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
