Forgetting Ali Faurlin for the season but assuming eveyone else is fit and in the UK what is our strongets team plus 5 subs?
Kenny Young, Ferdinand, Onuoha,Taiwo SWP,Barton,Diakite,Traore Cisse, Zamora Subs Cerni, Gabbidon,Taraabt,DJ,Helguson I need more midfielders
Paddy Young Ferdinand Ohuoha Taiwo SWP Taraabt Diakite Traore Zamora Cisse Subs Barton laugh HH, Smith, Hall, Cerny
i'd go same with two of buzz/mackie/derry/smith on the bench also as we can have 7 i believe ( theres your midfielders )
Kenny Young Ferdinand Onuoha Taiwo SWP Barton Taarabt/Diakite Traore Zamora Cisse Subs Cerny Taarabt/Diakite Gabbidon Hall Mackie Annoying thing is that players like Buz, DJC and Smith miss out, not through form or worth, just because we now have an abundance.
Kenny Young,Ferdinand,Onuoha,Tawio SWP,Barton,Tarrabt,Traore Cisse,Zamora Subs Cerny,Gabbidon,Diakite,Mackie,Derry,Smith,Dj,Helguson
oh yeah i hadn't noticed lol ill change mine anyway only only 1 defender derry and mackie out and hall in Subs Cerny,Gabbidon,Hall,Diakite,Smith,Dj,Helguson.
Why is everybody putting SWP in - just want the chance to slag him off after the games? Defence and attack pick themselves, midfield Barton............Buz/Taarabt (on form and opposition).......Diakite..........Traore
Yep as I've said before on this forum give SWP a run of games on the right (Newcastle at home) and he will be OK (if not great as he still can't kick a ball cleanly (certainly when aiming at the goal))
also got to remember zamora doesn't score mamy but he creates a bucket load i think with the pace of traore,swp and cisse we could score a bucket load.
Kenny Young - Gabbidon - Ferdinand - Traore SWP - Derry - Taarabt - Smith Helguson - Mackie Subs Onouha; Taiwo; Diakte; Cisse; Zamora These guys cost a lot of money so no point in wearing them out too soon. This would also lay down a marker that we are now one of the big boys in this league and are able to have a bench full of expensive players.
I think the movement of Zamora & Cisse will free up Taarabt to be more creative and get more goal scoring oppertunities and assists. Kenny Young - Onouha - Ferdinand - Taiwo SWP - Barton - Diakite Taarabt Cisse-Zamora Subs: - Cerny, Macheda, HH, Bothroyd, Mackie, Gabbidon Hill / alternative subs Murphy, Buzz, DJ, Hall, Smith, Derry, Ramage That just leaves Hogan or Hulse for the remaining spot for the 25 squad either or in my opinion will not make a lot of difference.
Sparky looks like setting the team up as a traditional 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1. Good old fashioned solid back four, couple of ball winners in the middle with two wingers knocking crosses into the two big men. Plenty of other options available too with Young being able to over lap and Traore too if he is left in defence and not pushed up to midfield. I think most of us have gone for SWP as he has previously been effective on the wing or bringing the ball in from the wing. If we need more quality supply through the middle then Taraabt (if he is on his game) or Buzz (if he is fit and continues to show improvement) or Faurlin (when he is back) could also be a source of decent service to Cisse and Zamora.
