But he's not playing as a winger, he's playing as wide forward, should be the easiest transition for a striker with pace. For me the AM needs to provide Striker support too, Ricky has played his whole career as an AM and a SS He's the only player in the entire squad who naturally fits that area of the pitch. Ricky over Connor in that spot for me. I think he'll love Defoe's runs and Defoe will love his balls.
I want to see a starting line-up this weekend which includes Watmore, Alvarez and PVA in front of the back four.....one that doesn't include Bridcut anywhere. I want us to attack, attack, attack !
You'd have bridcutt/Larsson in ahead of Rodwell? Rodwell was our best player against villa and add in his goal against hull and he's a sure starter. Unfortuantely due to catts suspension/Gomez being a snail bridcutt and Larsson will start as well as rodwell.
Reet i'd like to see this ....................vito .........oshea...brown...rev ..................larsson Watmore....rodwell......pva ..................alvarez ............defoe....wickham With aj, pants, bridcutt, fletcher, jones, gomez vergini bench
That back 3 would handle the long balls (valencia and carroll are out btw) and we would rip them to peices going forward
.......................Pants.................... Rev.......O'Shea.......Brown.......PVA ............Rodwell......Larsson......... Watmore...... Alvarez......Johnson .......................Defoe....................... Better !
I'll say this pal Dick will have been doing his research for months imo, he will know whats what, his team on saturday will be something sam can't anticipate, an unknown quantity, we will be at them an they are depleted and on a very bad run of form, its a great time to play them
And there is also that Pal of mine reckons the club have been inundated with cv's and applications from all over the world
Is Sakho available? He wears the number 15 good opportunity for a naughty photographer re 27 year old footballer if he gets on the pitch.
That would be a novelty on it`s own. If what we read about DA suggesting Poyets sacking being overdue and he`s been waiting, seems likely he`ll have been keeping a careful eye on things.
Well... We don't know because we've seen him employed as a wide man - in his preferred position I reckon we'd see a much different prospect Also - why would we drop Pantillimon? Vito was shocking in the games he played at the start of the season and only has a year left to run on his contract (Pantillimon is here for 4 years - 3 after this one). Costel would start in goal for me and I would love to see PVA on the wing - DA has seen them first hand though so it's up t him.
