I would hope for something like this? Mignolet Bardsley, Bramble, O'Shea, Rose Sessegnon, Gardner, Colback, Johnson Fletcher, Saha or will we get this; Mignolet Gardner, Cuellar, O'Shea, Rose Larrson, Vaughan, Colback, Johnson ......Sessegnon .............Fletcher .................................................... and secondly;- Is this our best team atm? Mignolet Bardsley, Bramble, O'Shea, Rose Sessegnon, Cattermole, Vaughan, Colback, Johnson Fletcher
For a start I'd play Westwood in goal Cuellar RB Titus and O'Shea CD Rose LB Larson LW Vaughan Colback CM AJ RW Sess Fletcher think that is our strongest Team.
For me Bardlsey would be bench at best for this one,.way too big a game to make a comeback. Id go with; ...........................Mignolet....................... Gardner...bramble.......Oshea..........rose ....................Larsson...colback................. Johnson............Sessegnon..........McClean ..........................Fletcher........................... Think Mon will go pretty similar just with Cuellar in for Bramble
Leave Titus where he is, put Cuellar RB and shove Gardner into midfield at the expense of Seb or JC. Both Cuellar & Gardner are slow so either will get skinned by ben arfa. Would prefer Bardo but leave him on the bench & bring him on for match practice when the game is safely won. About 20 mins in.
.............................Mignolet........................ Gardner ........Bramble......... O'Shea........... Rose Larsson ........Colback.......... Meyler ...........Johnson ..........................Sessegnon............................ ............................Fletcher............................ Colback and Meyler to break up play and supply the wings. Give Sess a free role behind Fletcher.
It's not who we put out lads it's how we set up, we go counter attack again and we'll get our arses handed to us.
Not in my opinion Both class keepers but Westwood's distribution is better than Migs hence why I'd pick him for this game.
Ben arfa plays on the right though so will be up against rose, which gives me a bit more confidence tbh with the lads pace. I think mon might risk bardo in his one. He's had ample time to recover now (he played a half in the ressies 2-3 weeks ago now?), and we NEED someone with his committment to get the team fired up. With catts unavailable, bardo is the only choice imo.. I'd like to see: ......................mig.................. bardo.....bramble.....JOS......Rose ............gardner....colback.......... Larsson...........Sess..............AJ ....................Fletch................. But think I'll be wrong. For a start I reckon cuellar is nailed-on, mon seems to have his favourites. I'm not too fussed though coz we all know titus has had an almighty blunder building up in him for the past few games and god knows he will unleash it on the mags!!
At the moment, our two most out of form players are McClean and Colback. I would drop McClean and push Danny Rose up to left wing, and play Colback at left back where he has always impressed. ...............................MIG................ .................. ..GARDNER......O'SHEA......BRAMBLE....COLBACK.. ..JOHNSON......LARSSON.......SESS.............ROSE .. ...................FLETCHER.........SAHA.......... ........... Lets take the game to the ****ers!!!
I think with Sess & Larsson in the middle you'd get over run, I'm hoping you play 4-5-1 and not 4-4-2 though, reckon you'll be a much bigger threat with two up top.
Johnson's a bit of a worry, as are Sess and Feltcher. If you play your defence like that, we'll tear you to shreds. Really.
Got to play Saha up top with Fletcher....please ditch the 4 5 1 or 3 2 3 1 1 or whatever we have been playing, lets get positive and at least try to attack.
