pretty happy myself put nolan up top with best and have ireland cm with tiote anyone agree?

He may have to go out wide, depending on Barton's fitness

I'd rather have Ireland off the front man that Nolan, he doesnt have the pace to play there but has a great partnership with Tiote in CM and still scores from there. More likely though, Ireland will have to play RM because Barton is a doubt.

yea thats a good point probably better not to change the two in the middle, irelands definatly exiting though could be a revalation for us if we get him firing

With Ben Arfa not expected back for a while later, maybe Ireland could play where we were suggesting HBA did, "in the hole" when Barton returns? He is such a good player when on form, if we get the best out of him we could fully utilise a 5 man midfield.
