What a f**ing line up, is that really hull city??
 
The main decision for Brucey is whether to go 2 up front or not. Unbelievable that we could have either Jela or our most expensive ever player on the bench

Can't see us going two up front when we have so much talent in midfield. I don't think two up front is necessary at all because Ince, Ben Arfa and Ramierez are going to want to get forward much more than we are doing now.
 
Players like Bruce, Meyler, Aluko, Maguire, (maybe even McShane or Sagbo depending on formation) will struggle to even make the squad. God knows what Figueroa is going to do for the next 9 months. And we aren't even counting Snoddy yet.

This is nuts. What a day.
 
Are we still in Europe!! Has anyone told bruce !!!
We should have no reason to hope for a long cup run .
Our 2nd team looks more like our team that started against qpr now

Mentaaaaal
 
3-4-2-1

Mac
Chester, dawson, davies
Elmo, hudd, diame, robertson
Rameriz, ben arfa
Jela

Second xi
Harper
Macca, maguire, bruce
Rosie, livermore, meyler, brady
Aluko, ince
Hernandez

(Quinn and fig going on loan to championship sides).

And watch LVG copy brucie in his formation.....
 
We once had a solid XI from the British isles now we are intergalactic :)

My XI has taken ages to figure
For SBs preferred 352

McGreggor
Chester Dawson Davies
Elmo Hudd Diame Robertson
Ben arfa
Hernandez Jelly

Though we can now have a more effective 442 variant


Good luck Brucie coz my head aches
 
The team is going to vary quite a bit from week to week from now on, with a squad that size.

I suspect that when the West Ham game comes around Ramirez and Ben Arfa will have to wait their turn on the bench, given the fitness concerns surrounding both of them. Diame and Hernandez appear more ready to step straight in (interesting debut for Diame!).

-------------------McGregor

---------Chester--Dawson--Davies

Elmo--Livermore--Hudd--Diame--Robertson

-----------Hernandez---Jelavic

(Subs: Harper, Macca, Rosenior, Quinn, Ince, Ben Arfa, Ramirez)

I see Ramirez competing to play in advance of two midfielders (so Livermore v Diame for one place next to Thudd). As for Ben Arfa... the big conundrum is where to play him. He brings nothing defensively, so you'd pretty much have to leave out one of your strikers and either give him a free role behind the lone striker or shove him out on a wing (which complicates things if you're playing wing-backs).

Hernandez in the second eleven! our most expensive player in the reserves!

Elmo in at right back in that first team is how I think we'll line up against West Ham.
