what do you think will be the starting line up and subs first time in a while that would be hard to choose which players to leave out vito vergini--oshea--brown--pva cats -- rodwell giacc buckley johnson wickham pants jones coates larson altidor fletcher alvarez
Mannone Vergini O'Shea Brown PVA Catts Rodwell Alvarez Johnson Giacc Wickham Pantillmon Jones Coates Larsson Buckley Fletcher Altidore Tempted to start with Altidore but give wickham has chance right up top and see how we get on. We have plenty of attacking options now like. No excuses.
The big decision seems to be no,s 8 to 11 and I think it will take a game or two to sort out, I would go Whicks or Altidore up front with three behind the striker from AJ/Buckley/Mavrias/Giacc/Alvarez/Fletcher.
Having multiple options is a nice decision to make and not one we are used to I'm not sure we should rush into giving Alvarez his debut. Maybe bring him on later
I want Wickham and Giac to start. Giac might be knackered from international break though so we'll see. Fletcher can come off the bench if he wants, but Connor should start. tempted to drop rodwell but it wont happen. Larssons actually been really good so far this year and it would be very harsh to drop him IMO
I had not thought of this when I posted, so I will include lars in the mix behind the striker, he deserves to be in there on merit, good shout
Rodwells been the weakess of our midfield trio so far in my books, but I'll put that down to a lack of play time. Catts was great the first two games but couldn't make a tackle second half due to the QPR Crowd. Larsson has always had a good work ethic, but he's actually playing good balls and making decent tackles, tracking back etc. Fair play to him, I wanted him to go a few months ago. If only he gets his eye for goal back with the free kicks. He'd be a hell of a player.
Jammy, you are so right about Rodwell, he needs many games, so off the pace,,,,,,,,have we been sold a pup ?
Let's talk at Xmas Funk……hope I am wrong, give him a chance but looks SO off the pace to me.
-------------------Mannone--------------------- Vergini-------O'Shea------Brown-----Van Aanholt ------------------Cattermole-------------------- ------------Rodwell--------Alvarez ------------- Johnson-----------Wickham------------Giaccherini
I don't need to wait till Christmas fella, I already know he's a great midfielder He's definitely off pace but he's come from a club where he's had no game time, he'll get better and better as games go by, that won't happen if he's sat on the bench. Don't worry, he's way better then anyone we've had for years.
