Possibly the only thing I want to see less than Clucas is Clucas in centre mid. We might not have been great Saturday but I saw both Aluko and Elmo actually beat a man and put a cross in. Albeit we won't see Elmo now as he was inevitably all over the place at right back. I'll go... Greggs Moses Sir Curtis Harry Robbo Aluko Huddz Livermore Snods Diomande and Hernandez Although I feel greatly tempted to put Meyler in, I thought Huddz has been one of our better players of late and he won't drop Livermore. Would love to see Snods on his left foot . Think he could be huge for us there. Have a sinking feeling we'll see Clucas, Snods on the right and maybe Aluko as a striker...
Do you have a stat as to how we do when Hudds isn't involved (on a sub is ok). These stats seems to back up what we were saying from October on that we are better when he doesn't start. A bit of a quandary to drop him though as he has been playing well lately
The poor stats are largely down to how he was playing earlier in the season, rather than how he's playing now.
I've been saying it for ages just without the stats, cos I coulda done it with stats cos I'm good at owt like that... I think if we can just get those stats loaded up onto an Xbox game a few will see things differently.
That looks like a 'class' line-up, Blak. But will it happen? And, more to the point, will it work? I do hope so.
3 - 5 - 2 still for me but with Diame now out injured and a tougher game @ Reading on Tuesday..... my team would be this...... McGregor Davies Maguire Bruce Odubajo Huddlestone Livermore(c) Meyler Robertson Diomande Hernandez subs:- Jakupovic - Elmohamady - Hayden - Snodgrass - Maloney - Clucas - Aluko.
Bruce pretty much says it's going to be 4-4-3 in the interview (at least it confirms there won't be a back three).
Well our league record reads W20 D10 L10 So that means in the games hudd hasn't featured the record is W6 D1 L0
That clown John Fieldhouse once speculated about City fielding an experimental 4-4-3 formation. It certainly would have been an innovation.
So when he doesn't feature we have picked up 19 points from 21 and haven't lost a match. Going on that basis I hope he pulls a hammy right before the play-offs
