Formation porn for Blackburn

I can see Pards going for

Harper
Simpson Perch Coloccini Santon
Marveaux Gosling Guthrie Jonas
HBA
Sammy/Strolla

Bench
Elliott, Saylor, Raylor, Cabaye, Lovenkrands, Smith, Vuckic

Good backup on the bench and an ideal time to get Santon his first game at LB. I dunno if Fergie would make the lineup

 

I think the team will be:

Elliot

Santon - Perch - Coloccini - Ferguson

Gosling - Cabaye

Lovenkrands - Ben Arfa - Marveaux

Ameobi

 

Also Medhi Abeid is still about, what a great dilemma for Pards to have!

 

Not sure he will really play the youngens because we can play a team which doesn't include the likes of Sammy, Vuckic, Abeid. So Pardew will more than likely play the older lads

 

I'd play

---------------Best----------------

Lover----------HBA---------Marveaux

-------Gosling--------Guthrie---------

Ferguson----Colo------Perch-----Santon

----------------Harper------------------

 

Team I would pick, as it's impossible to guess who we will pick for a cup game:

Harper
Simpson Taylor Kadar Santon
Abeid Tiote
Obertan Benny Marveaux
Best​

Then bring Marveaux (for Obertan) and Ben Arfa (for Best) into the side for the Stoke game.

 

I still think Jonas + Colo are integral to how our side plays, the work-rate of Jonas is phenomenal, easily my favourite player (despite my new shiny avatar)

 

Harper
RTaylor STaylor Coloccini Santon
Marveaux Gosling Ben Arfa Abeid Ferguson
Ameobi

Santon has to start. I'd quite like to see how Taylor does at RB so I'd start Santon on the left.

If Marveaux comes into the first team it will be for Obertan, so I think he should start on the right. He made a positive impact when he came on but didn't look all that comfortable to me on the right, so I'd like to see him get a full game there.

Ben Arfa's another who must start and in his preferred position. I think Lovenkrands deserves a start but it isn't going to work with him and Ben Arfa up front, and it's more important to get Hatem games so Ameobi starts with him.

Jonas gets a rest and Ferguson a run out. Colo and Taylor both start, I don't see the point in ****ing about in central defence too much.

Any two from Gosling, Abeid, Guthrie and Vuckic in centre midfield. I've gone for Gosling and Abeid but I'm not really bothered which two it is.

 

Harper

Simpson Taylor Colo Santon
Abeid Cabaye
Marv Arfa Ferguson
Ba

 

Can see Willo starting if he's back from injury, Abeid is more of an offensive player isn't he?

 

I'd have

Harper

Santon - Taylor - Coloccini - Ferguson

Gosling - Abeid

Marveaux - Ben Arfa - Sammy

Ameobi

 

Apparently not. More a Cabaye type of player from what I've seen/heard.

 

Actually I like this better than mine, totally forgot Ferguson.

2 things though, if we wanted to play Lover we could, worked against Forest having Ben Arfa behind him. And I'd play Tiote with Abeid, Cabaye played the last two cup games and supposedly Abeid is 3rd choice CM now.

 

Personally I'd be surprised with any less than 8 changes.

Elliott
Santon / Colo / Taylor / Fergie
Guthrie (RW) / Gosling / Abeid / Marveaux
Benny
Ameobi

Or maybe Obertan will start on the right wing.

 

I'll personally play :

Harper
Raylor Perch Colo Santon
Abeid Gosling/Guthrie
Marvo Ben Arfa Ferguson
Ameobi

*Sub Colo off for Taylor after a hour..

 

hope there will be a stream of it

 

Harper
Simpson Taylor Kadar Santon
Gosling Guthrie
Obertan Benny Marveaux
Best

subs on at about 60 min: Ba, Sammy, Vuckic

 

Doubt this'll be it, but here's what I'd probably play.


--------------------Harper-----------------------

Simpson-----Perchinho----Coloccini--------Santon

Marveaux------Abeid-------Guthrie-------Ferguson

--------------Ben Arfa---------------------------

-----------------------Sammy/Stroller------------

 

our carling cup team looks mighty good like hopeing to go deep

 

-----------------------Harper------------------------

Simpson-------Kadar-------Coloccini--------Santon

-------------------------Guthrie--------------------

--------------------Vuckic------Gosling-------------

Ben Arfa------------------------------------------Marv

--------------------------Ameobi--------------------------


Don't want Ameobi to start but think he will! Like to see Ferguson and Abeid come off the bench.
