I know this maybe a strange one, but would you take this team if everyone was fit. This is the team I choose on FIFA12: ...............Gordon.............. Bardsley..Oshea.Brown..Richo Elmo..Gardner..Catts..Sess .....Campbell...Bendnter....... Dunno what everyone thinks but IMO this is probably the best team we can play once all fit..
No, i would not condone any team with Rico and Elmo, as being our best.... Especially when you left out Larsson in favour of the mythical Egyptian..
funny how opinions vary about Elmo. I think he has been good for us this season so far... Gordon Bardsley, Oshea, Brown, Ricco Elmo, Larsson, Vaughan, Sess Bendtner, Campbell however, if we had everyone fit (match fit and sharp) I would be hard pressed to pick a fixed starting 11. Gardner, Colback, Turner, Ji, Wickham and maybe Catts would all make it a hard decision.
Cyprussyd's team for me - at the mo. Would like to see the young boy Laing progress in place of Turner. x
suppose the reason why I chose Elmo was for his pace. Larsen is more of a CM I think, because he lacks SO much pace. For me a winger and full back need to be fast, forward thinking & can defend (so that techinally rules richo out). Glad we all agree about Campbell and Bendnter, I think that would be a good pairing.! Also anyone know how long Campbell has left? Surely a couple of months
forgot about Meyler... that makes it even harder to choose (and even less likely for Catts to play a part imo) The advantage would be, if we qualify for Europe over the next couple of seasons, we have a decent squad we can rotate even without adding any new recruits.
How about what's the worst team Bruce could put together since he's been a the SOL? few contenders there.
Not only has Bruce convinced himself that Richardson is a LB , he has convinced most of the people on this forum. Let's get it straight, Richardson is NOT a LB , he should be playing left side midfield or on the left wing. It's like somebody telling a lie for long enough and starting to believe it. For f**ks sake, lets play to our strengths, I'm sure Bruce will admit it one day but I'm seriously worried that he might be too late.
Blind, you must know Brucey knows best, Larsson is a left winger, Sess a striker, Elmo a football player and Rico is a LB. Or do you think he is wrong and in which case is putting players out of position and having no balance in the side (e.g. a LW)are some of the reasons we look so poor at times..surely not as Brucey knows best, give him time, even if we are relegated when we have gelled we will come good in time???
Syds team for me with 2 others fighting for gardners place Colbeck Catts Worst team lets pack the midfield ----------O'Shea------- Elmo---catts----Colbeck----Rico Larsson--Gardner----Cook---meylor --------Sess--McClean
-------------------Gordon------------------- Bardo------O Shea------Wes-------Ricco-- Larson---Vaughan-----Meyler-------Sess-- ------------Bendtner----Fraizer------------ All (if) fit and on form.
Ricco is getting better at LB the more he plays there - he has been ok the last couple of games (not brilliant, but ok).
You have to pick Elmo and Ricco on FIFA 12 cos everyone else is slow as a chuff. Bendtner is class on it mind.
Sess Cattermole Ricco Elmo Ji Bendtner Turner Campbell Colbeck Bardsley O'Shea Lots of love Stephen Roger Bruce
From what I've seen of him for us so far, he's class in real life too!! Was streets ahead of anyone on the pitch against West Brom! As for the team - I agree with what Syd said!!
