    It's a daft comparison, but if you look at Manchester City, their two lone strikers are Aguero and Jesus, who if they stood on one another's shoulders might just reach six foot, so yes, we should be able to do the one up top thing really, even with Gabbi (and have done in the past). So yes, I'm definitely contradicting myself!

    I don’t get the obsession with all these formations and whether it’s a 4,2,31 or a 4,4,2. Everything needs to be fluid, proactive and reactive.
    Choose 1 GK
    Choose 4 Defenders
    Choose 2 CM
    Choose the rest to attack when we attack and defend when we defend
    Choose the Premier League
    Choose life

    Or we could bypass the midfield altogether. I thought we were trying that in the first half on Sunday, but that may have been the wind.

    Anyway, it doesn't really work with a team full of midgets.

    This wasn't really worthy of a new thread but just letting you all know that after a 8-9 month hiatus I'm back! I was without a laptop and I didn't like forumming on my mobile really bar browsing the odd time. But I got a new laptop so I'm back. What is new?? I can only imagine what it was like on here while we had Pellegrino in charge lol.

    I'm 100% behind Mark Hughes (to align my post with the thread title), and I'm feeling positive he is the man to get the fight back into what is a quality squad.

    Hmm. Pellegrino joins, NISaint disappears, Pellegrino leaves, NISaint back.

    Welcome back Mauricio ;)

    For what it’s worth, we were linked to Joe Allen last week.
    Butland next?
