    Think you probably have it spot on, unfortunately. Maybe swap Gosling for Obertan.

    Sorry, it's a Tashism (Heavy Metal Toon). He used to post loads of formations and we called it formation porn, bit of a running joke. Just means what line up would you pick?

    Forgot him. Wanted to put Marveaux in but he's only just back from injury and played 120 mins on Thursday. Would never wish injury on a player but I hope Shola isnt playing.

    I will slit my wrists if Gosling starts, he's done nothing to deserve a start yet. I think he should get a chance, but he hasn't proven himself yet IMO. Looks out of shape and off the pace.

    ------------Krul-------------

    Simmo-Taylor--Coloccini--Raylor

    -----Cabaye----Tiote-------

    Jonas---Marveaux-----Obertan

    ----------Best/Ba----------

    Well that's rather extreme tash. I do have a few questions though.

    - Why play Marveaux after he played the 120 minutes v Scunny and is only just back from serious injury?
    - Why play Obertan on the left, he's right footed as well?
    - Why do you hate Dan Gosling? ;)

    I don't hate Dan Gosling but he's rarely impressed during pre-season. And he was poor vs Scunny.

    Marveaux has been playing well and impressing all pre-season, in the reserves and against Scunny. He also looks in good shape, where as Gosling looks fat and off the pace.

    Marveaux has done more to deserve it IMO. More consistency. Yes i know there's no way to prove that Marvueax will be better in the PL, but IMO the player that's been consistent and playing well pre-season, in the reserves and in the cup games, should be the one to start, not the one that's had one decent pre-season game since coming back, and been quite ****e in every other game he's played.

    I don't hate Gosling, i think he could be a great player for us, but he hasn't done anything to warrant him a start in the PL IMO. Perhaps bring him on as a sub.
