This will not be the team against Norwich, more the team I would like us to play --------------------- Pants --------------------- Jones -- Beadling -- O'Shea -- Van Aanholt -------- Cattermole -- Larsson --------- -- Watmore -- Giaccherini -- Lens --- -------------------- Defoe -----------------
Like it - don;t think we'll see it but I like it!! Be surprised if the back 4 changes - M'Vila may be up to fitness so he might get a game - not sure though. Also not sure about Defoe on his own up top - he was useless there on Saturday
Same here Marcus. I don't want to see Fletcher or Graham near the team again though, we should have brought Gustede in from Blackburn. It's somebody like that we need.
I'd like to see. ---------------------pants----------------- ------------oshea-------kaboul--------- Mathews-------------------------pva --------------catts-------mvilla---------- ---------------------giach---------------- -------aj-------------------------lens---- -----------------Defoe-------------------
I saw Gestede play 5 or 6 times last season - against Liverpool he looked an absolute world beater - against championship sides he was woeful. Looked like another Connor Wickham who would only turn it on in the big games to me - OK he scored at the weekend but so did Fletcher!! Austin is the one - we should be pulling out the stops for him and going in with £15m
**** it. consequence for actions Pants Mathews-----O'SHea------Brown-----Beadling Bridcutt------M'Vila Giacc Watmore-------Defore--------Lens
Watmore for Johnson, all day long for me mate. The kid is chomping at the bit and Johnson looks like he can't be arsed, frankly.
Yeah but I'd personally try get a short term loan for Duncan to the championship, see if he can cut it there then whack him in if he plays well. Aj's been ****e lately but we all know what he can do when he's on it..
Agree totally about Johnson - except for one thing - he blatantly has the nous to pick a killer ball - his through ball for Defoe's goal was sublime (as was the pass to him from Rodwell - ironically!) @Funky Dick - Advocaat said he didn't Sub Catts cos he was ****e (although he was - and you all know how much it must take for me to say that!) he subbed him as he thought he'd been booked - I think he'll start on Saturday personally (referring to your kick up the arse team)
Surely Dick won't over react to a bad display and drop more than one or two. Hoping MVilla can give us an hour or so... Pants Matthews --JOS---Kab----Pat AJ--------MVilla-----Seb-------Lens ------------Fletcher---Defoe As a short term fix til we get two new ones in. Ultimately: Pants Matthews----Jos----Kab-----Pat ------------MVilla---Seb/Catts AJ------------no.10------------Lens -----------------no.9
-----------------------------Pants------------------------------ Mathews-----------------Kabul----------------Brown------ Watmore---Lens---M'vila----Giacc----Young ?------- -------------Junajez ?-------------Defoe----------------------- Subs Mannone, Larsson, O Shea, Coates, Fletcher, Johnson, PVA We won't need PVA as we will have all the attack from midfield New signings I would like is Johnny evans, Ashley young, Borini/Austin, and someone who can hold the ball in midfield and pass it to a Sunderland player forward a couple of times ! Another thing is I do not want to see the ball passed backwards at all on Saturday.
And I doubt we can sign the entire population of the capital of Afghanistan to play centre half by Saturday!
That there's your best side I reckon. Lost of ways to change tactics with only minor adjustments to formation or personnel, changing shape effortlessly when you're in possession.
Lmao yep as I said earlier 9&10 but in the meNtime id go 2 up top and two solid banks of 4 to keep it tight. Play direct. Larsson keeps Catts out on recent form too but we know it changes frequently as form wavers
