Gus says he doesnt plan to make too many changes and field a fairly full strength side against them (Gerrin) What will the team be? Personally would hope for ---------------------------Mannone--------------------------- Vergini----------Coates------------JOS------------Jones -------------------Bridcutt-----------Rodwell---------------- Johnson-----------------Giacc--------------------Alvarez ----------------------------Fletcher---------------------------- Dont think that will be the team he chooses but that to me is a goalscoring side, or at least a side creating the chances to score goals! Obviously with Catts/Rev/PVA back then would chuck Rev in for Santi and PVA in for Jones as well as Catts for Bridcutt Think it will be something more like ---------------------------Mannone--------------------------- Vergini----------Coates------------JOS------------Jones -----------------Bridcutt-----Giacc-------Larsson--------- Johnson---------------------------------------------Buckley ----------------------------Fletcher---------------------------- Here's to hoping its the team i said!
Your team looks OK to me, but I think Santi is a doubt as is Lars so its wait and see time at the back, I like the six you pick in front of the back four. Someone has suggested playing Buckley as an emergency full back, and this sounds fine, maybe even Mavrias who knows, but the basis of a good team is there.
Would prefer Alvarez getting at least an hours run out. Then use the useless Buckley or Gomez as the "impact" sub.
We are not buying at anywhere near the top premiership levels yet, so just give these players time. Some players get more rope than others based on how much they cost or because the manager sees something in them others do not. At the end of the day we have to accept this. In Buckley we have a potentially good squad player who has shown promise, give the lad a chance.
