-----------------Harper --Simpson--Willo----Colo--Jose---- ------------------TIote--------------- --------Barton-----------Jonas------ ------------------Nolan-------------- ---------Best----------Shola-------- Subs: Krul S.Taylor Ireland Guthrie Vuckik Lovenkrands Ranger Imo this is still a pretty strong squad and will do the job in keeping us up and beating Fulham. Keep the faith and in a few weeks we'll be saying Andy Who? Also I think we would be seeing more of out younger lads such as Ferguson,LuaLua,Ranger and Vuckik.
Isnt Ireland out for a couple of weeks, either way prob our strongest team, would rather Ranger played cos if he scores a few goals maybe Liverpool will buy him off us for 35million.
Tiote's last game of suspension isnt it? Harper Simpson Williamson Colo Enrique Barton Nolan Guthrie Jonas Ireland* Ranger *If fit, if not then Lover and a 4-4-2. I know it's risky but I'd give it a go.
Harper Simpson Colo Willo Enrique Barton Nolan Guthrie Guti Best Lover Subs: Krul, Perch/Sol, Ferguson, Vuckic, Shola, Ranger, Airey.
I know everyone will slate me but i don't think with that midfield we can play 4-4-2 I'd go Harper Simo, Tayls (if fit) Colo Enrique Barton Guthrie vuckic Jonas Nolan Ameobikoki
Not for me, they were a stopgap whenever Carroll got injured but they arent getting any better (Best might advance a bit but not anywhere near as much as Carroll), Ranger is the only one who can get to that level so play him. We stuck with Carroll when he wasnt half the player he is now and we got an excellent return in terms of player quality and eventually financially. Wont happen though, Best and Shola for the rest of the year. I miss having one of the league's best strikeforces.
I rate Best higher than Shola and Lover, not Ranger obviously but IMO Best IF he gets a GOOD proper run of games, could fill in SOMEHOW the big void left by Carroll(not saying he'll be as good as Carroll but I like what I've seen of him)... We've also got Airey waiting for his chances. Shola = Inconsistent injury prone yet good enough EPL squad player. Lover = OK, but nothing to get excited about, good enough to be cover though. Ranger = Can't finish for caramel, attitude pretty poor, very good potential, great strength, power, direct, pacy and always seems to be a constant threat but needs to improve loads of aspects of his game if he wants to be a regular starter, on the pitch & off it aswell. Best= OK, looked average at BEST in the Championship but I like what I've seen from him(especially the West Ham game), seems to have very good pace, can win headers, has two good feet, looks good on the deck, very good work-rate, looks a decent threat most of the times & personally I'll be happy to see him starting regularly and proving you all wrong!
