Bilic shares his thoughts on playing two up front watfordfc
However, he has stuck with his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation, meaning it’s been a case of one or the other. Against Preston it was Araujo in the first half, Davis in the second.“Two rather than one? We finished the game like that,” said Bilic.“In modern football teams who play with two strikers don’t have orthodox wingers, they play with midfielders there or with full-backs who are great offensively.“We’ve done it a few times and we lost our stability on the pitch.
“I don’t mind finishing the game like that or playing one part of a game like that, but to start a game with that? I’m not saying the opponent will be more dangerous towards our goal, but I’m saying we wouldn’t create enough.Having billed the Preston match as ‘must win’, but only taken a point, Bilic now finds his side four points adrift of the play-off places with time running out.
“We couldn’t expect 36 points from 12 games, but maybe 26 or 27. Still there are enough points to play for and we don’t need to win all remaining games to get there,” he said. “It would be totally naïve and stupid to think we’re going to win the last 10 on the spin. It can happen, but it can’t be your plan.
“That’s why we are disappointed we didn’t win because it was a must-win. It’s not over because we didn’t win. It’s not a cup final, or the last game of the season.Share
