Kenny Onuoha Ferdinand Hill Traore Derry Barton SWP Cisse Mackie Zamora Subs: Cerny Young Taiwo Diakite Smith Buzsaky Bothroyd This is providing Taarabt is out injured. If not, Taarabt in for Mackie, with Mackie taking Smith's place on the bench. Thoughts..
Kenny has been in poor form of late; I think he needs a kick up his 'r's! For that reason, I believe Cerny should be entrusted with the No.1 Jersey. The back line is good as is, had a good game against Everton, they didn't look that threatening before or after their goal. T'was just an immense piece of finishing. If anything; Taiwo to come back in, allowing Traore to be freed up to play left wing. I don't think he would neglect defensive duties and has, a pretty good cross! This means that, in my opinion, SWP should be left on the bench for this game, it could help his case, much like it helped David De Gea, for MU, he felt much more confident within himself after a break on the bench. This would mean that Mackie would therefore play on the right, where he could cross with his better right foot, and, could still contribute with his commendable workrate. We would also have two similar players with similar styles, Mackie and Cisse, who like to run at defenders (Cisse, obviously with that little touch of class.) To support Zamora, and Traore to ping in the crosses for him. I would also take Derry out of the team for either Taarbs, (if fit) or Buzz (if he's not) because we obviously want a more attacking approach where it is necessary to win games; and we should be able to rely on the solid back four; with Barton providing a shield, and the two wingers getting back and defending, leaving three up for a quick counter attack. Taarbs can produce that magical bit of class we have seen so often, and Buzz is obviously very dangerous from set pieces, and long shots, as we saw against Wigan. If either does play, all we can pray for is that both have their shooting boots on! So, in my mind i hope the team sheet is as follows: -------------------------Cerny-------------------- Onouha------Ferdinand---Hill------Taiwo Mackie----Taarabt(*)-------Barton------Traore --------------------Zamora---Cisse----------- (*Buzz)
Mine: ------------------Kenny------------------- Onouha-----Ferdinand------Hill-------Traore -------------Diakite---Barton-------------- Cisse-----------Taarabt-------------Mackie -------------Zamora---------------------- If Taarabt is out: Put Cisse in the centre of the 3 and ZWP on the right. What I think MH will do: -----------------Kenny----------------- Onouha-----Ferdinand---Hill------Traore SWP------Diakite---Barton------Taarabt ----------Zamora---Cisse-------------- If Taarabt is out: Mackie on the left. However you slice it, if Adel is missing it's hard to see where the creativity will come from. Who will make the chances for Cisse? ****, why did he have to get injured?
