Since we have all demonstrated ,on a regular basis ,our superior knowledge when it comes to team selection, who would like to have a go at picking the team for Napoli ?? Pretend you're AVB and give us your reason for picking each player. Here's mine (gulp ) GK Cech Had a word about his distribution, he's promised not to kick to the opposition. RB Ivan Best in the business. Asked him to be more adventurous and track David Luiz when he bombs forward. Stick wide and cross to far post. CB David Luiz. Asked him to be cautious with tackles until he's got his rhythm. Big stage, big opportunity. Go for it. CB JT Will need him to drive the team on. Watch their forwards like a hawk, they are REALLY dangerous and skilful. Especially try and be quicker with the pass and more direct. LB Bertrand. Gets the nod over Ashley Cole because he's not afraid to cross the half way line . AC leaves us way too exposed when he goes forward, and quick skilful players can now skin him at will. Mid Ramires Just keep on doing what you always do. Mid Romeu . Sit in just behind Mata, force their attackers to the sideline. Mid Mata Centre of midfield for you. Run the show and pretend you're Zola. Mid Kalou Play like you did in the ACN. CF Drogba Don't try to win the game on your own, hold it up and create some space for Sturridge. CF Sturridge Use your head, pick you're time, look for someone in a better position. Bench Essien. Torres Lampard Cahill Cole OK Next.
Looks good to me, though would rather lukaku on the bench instead of Torres (who should be put down) Kalou is a gamble, but at the state we are in.. why not, not like our attacking prowess could get any worse right?
Assuming they're all fit to play--I'd go along with your selection CP! There was a ? over JT and Ramirez, but latest suggests they might be ready! ARE YOU READING THIS AVB????
