Everyone is fit and ready, we are at home, give me your starting 11.. We look at present form and assume the injured players come back in the form when injured. GORDON BARDO...BRAMBLE..BROWN..RICHARDSON LARSSON..CATTS..GARDNER..MCLEAN CAMPBELL..SESS I think but could easly be persuded so persude me.
GORDON BARDO...O'SHEA..BROWN..RICHARDSON LARSSON..CATTS..GARDNER..MCLEAN CAMPBELL..SESS Only swap Bramble for O'Shea - otherwise no arguments here
Gordon would only be my third choice keeper now regardless of whether he is fit or not; but I appreciate that others may disagree...
I don't Although a good shot stopper, was never fully convinced by him, and his pathetic display at Stoke last season pushes him right down pecking order for me
Westwood in goal for me, Mig will be the man long term, but Westwood is the most complete right now. O'Shea for Bramble also, good side.
---------------------------------------Gordon---------------------------------- Bardsley---------------------Brown--------------O'Shea----------------------Richardson Larsson---------------------Cattermole---------Gardner----------------------McClean ---------------------------Campbell-------------Sessegnon------------------ Westwood before Mignolet for me, he looks a very solid keeper but on his day Craig Gordon is world class and with a run of games has shown how good he really is.
Westwood for me as well - he is the only one that looks anywhere near comfortable with crosses. In fact will go so far as to say that he is very good and fills the back four with quiet confidence that he will collect comfortably most of the crosses that come into HIS area. As much as I really love the shot stopping ability of both Mig. and Gordon, you cannot deny that every cross into these to makes you hold your breath till it is eventually cleared. As to the rest of the outfield ???? all I ask is for Bardley and Cattermole to be included - MON can take responsibility for the rest - you see I trust him completely.
I agree with Westwood being the more complete goalkeeper however, since MIG donned his phantom of the opera mask he has, apart from Henry's goal performed admirably without conceding many. I think we could play without a goalie at the mo the way the defence is performing.
GORDON BARDO...BRAMBLE..BROWN..RICHARDSON LARSSON..CATTS..GARDNER..MCLEAN CAMPBELL..SESS MIG OSHEA...TURNER..GREEK..BRIDGE ELMO..MEYLER..VAUGHAN..COLBACK WICKHAM..BENDY What a fantastic position to be in - 2 teams and still no place for Ji or Westwood and probably others I have forgotten about
