Someone predict our starting line up as of 02/09/2014

Because I bloody can't.

Just unbelievable stuff.

 

Surely someones going to leave. We just cant keep all these players.

 

-------------- McGregor
Rosenior - Dawson - Davies - Robertson
------ Huddlestone - Livermore
-- Ramirez --- Hernandez --- Ben Arfa
--------------- Jelavic

Bench: Harper, Chester, Elmo, Diame, Brady, Aluko, Ince

 

Elmohamady won't be benched, and will Diame settle for a bench place? Not sure about that!

 

how can elmo ben arfa and ramirez play together?

 

I think livermore will be dropped

 

Elmo is nice to have as a winger in a 442 but would he fit in a 4231? Will we stick with 352 given the new signings? He could play right back but Rosenior has been so good there he deserves that spot if we use a back four.

We can rotate Huddlestone, Livermore and Diame for 2 deeper central midfield roles. I'd say we have many more attacking options to play ahead of them.

 

Harper
McShane Maguire Bruce Figueroa
Ince Meyler Quinn Brady
Sagbo Ince

Everyone needs a go don't forget.

 

im imagining you sat in an arm chair with a green tartan blanket and then an ipad resting on said blanket with a wooden pipe in your mouth

 

Its nice to have a squad now. Different players can come in without weakening us. Last year we ran out of steam and struggled when we got injuries to our starting 11. You used to be able to predict the starting 11 accurately within 1-2 players, now.. multiple combinations of players will result in a strong team. Great stuff... that's what you need in the PL, especially if you fancy a cup run.

 

McGregor
Elmo - Dawson - Davies - Robinson
Huddlestone - Livermore
Ben Arfa - Ramirez - Ince
Hernandez

With a second lineup of:

Harper
Rosenior - Chester - Maguire - Brady
Diame - Meyler
Snodgrass - Quinn - Aluko
Jelavic

Who could have possibly thought of those teams this time last year. I'm stunned.

 

look, Bruce had to act - he's fortunate the owner trusts him and the potential is now there

we have been poor this season so far

 

Anyone worked out if we can fit everyone in our 25 man squad?

 

A little harsh, thought we were outstanding against Stoke and sounded brilliant against QPR!

 

mcgregor
rosenior chester dawson robertson
huddlestone diame
ben arfa hernandez ramirez
jelavic

 

Well we may have to play our reserves in the cup games.................Well you call it a reserve side!!

 

My mate Barry rang me not five mins ago..He's been in a Special Brew induced coma all day....Did we buy anyone ? he asked....I said no mate..Go back to sleep..

 

The point is we now have a PL squad, not just a PL team (or just about) with the bench & rest of the squad made up of championship players #harshbutfair

 

Bloody hard worker that Ince boy - unless Brucie sucked old man Ince out of retirement....

 

Would expect Aluko to leave now as well as Meyler, Fig and Bruce
