Assuming as it seems that Fletcher is missing: Mignolet Bardsley, O'Shea, Cuellar, Rose Sessegnon, Gardener, Vaughan, Johnson Wickham, Campbell Westwood, Killgallon, Bramble, Colback, Larsson, Saha, Ji
I'd go with.... Mignolet Bardsley, O'Shea, Cuellar, Colback Jimmy, Rose, Sess, Johnson Gardner Wickham
Mignolet Bardsley, O'Shea, Cuellar, Colback Sessegnon, Gardener, Vaughan, Johnson Wickham, Campbell Quite like that team - but I also like Rose in midfield and Colback has proved he can play at left back so maybe vaughan out for Colback at left back! After the weekend we have a bit of a dilemma (maybe a very good thing) as Rose proved that he can fit in midfield - very quick, good pass and vision and also can tackle and him & sessegnon in the centre worked a treat so maybe Gardner on the right and Johnson on the left as Gardner was also decent against Chelsea
I wouldn't try to polish a dog turd so wouldn't know. Have you tried and failed? I guess everyone needs a hobby. Just don't shake peoples hands.
History tells us he won't go 2 up top so barring any knocks from the weekend we don't know about I don't think he will change the starting 11.
Two up front is what we need. Wickham plus 1 with Sess behind and AJ out wide is a start. Jimmy Mac is beginning to show signs of life, after a brief death, so I'd have him on the bench. Otherwise, pretty much what Cest said.
I know he will play the same 16 players who have failed us thus far. One things for sure, if we lose the crowd will turn on him and he'll end up walking.
Id go 4-3-1-2. Get the three stooges out of the first team and we give ourselves a chance whilst its still 0-0 .........................Mignolet.................... Gardner.....Cuellar....bramble.......colback ....Johnson...........Rose...............McClean... ........................Sessegnon.......................... ..............Campbell......Wickham................. Unfortunately he'll play the same 11 that started against Chelsea I fear.
O' shea and Sebb or Cuellar were not up to it on sat, so ......................... mig....................... Gardner..........Bardsley.........Colback Adam.....Vaughn.......Rose......Mclean ......................Sess......................... Whickham......................Campbell Subs; Saha, Ji , Sebb, Westwood, Bramble, Cuellar, Vaughn, I noticed Newcastle plyed 4-3-3 and look what happened, only the exellent teams can get away with that, it is a very dodgy system. 4-3-1-2 or 3-4-1-2 for me tonight, with Sess playing behind the strikers.
For me -----------------------------Mig--------------------------- Bardo------------Cuellar----------JOS-------------Rose Sess--------------Gardner---------Vaughan----------AJ -------------------Whickham-----Saha/Fletch (If fit)--
I despair at times, i really do.. If that is the ****e that MoN would put out, after over a year in charge,,we are going backwards.
Mignolet. Gardner, O'shea, Cuellar, Colback. AJ, Sess, Rose, McClean(Vaughan) not sure which one. Wickham, Fletcher.
