How would you line up? For me the back 5 would stay the same but id maybe make a couple of changes in the middle. Gardner offered nothing last night and was at fault for their 2nd he'd be dropped for me. Jozy up top again as he was an animal last night ------------------Mannone-------------------- Bardsley----Oshea-----Brown------Dossena ---------Larsson---Ki---Colback--------------- Giaccherini-------------------------------Borini -------------------Altidore----------------------
Controversial but I would bring back Cabral. I just want to see what this lad can do. Larsson, Gardner, Colback are all much of a muchness. Surely cabral would fit poyet's style. He was playing champions league FFs.
For me its not the right game to through Cabral in. Its a shame cos he looked class pre season. Id consider bringing Catts in for Colback which allows Ki to player higher up the pitch if we are pushing. Johnson looked awful when he came on.last night so didn't even enter my thoughts for a starting spot.
I hear what you are saying re Catts but his passing is suspect and he can be easily dispossessed. Ki keeps us ticking from there. Perhaps if we have a lead bring Catts on in that role. What about 3 at the back? Bardsley O'shea brown Catts. Ki Borini. Cabral. Giacc Fletcher. Altidore. Maybe not against spurs but lesser teams perhaps? Very attacking I know
