[MANCIO4EVER]

this is my fan formation ;}

----------------Given-------------
Richards----Ned------VK-----Garrido
---------De Jong-----Barry---------
SWP---------Adebayor--------Bellamy
--------------Tevez------------


we have already seen vivid hints of how ade can be very creative with the ball (3 player dribble through anyone?). during hughes we used to utilised long balls because he was the man up front. the strategy was great because ade, when the ball lands on him, creates havoc. but the flaw to the long ball route was the ball hardly ever reached ade who lines with the offside trap and often got caught, legit or not.

i believe the scum will have fletcher and carrick, with rio and evans on CB. tevez needs a holdball player. ade is very accurate in terms of passes and without the need to worry about the offside trap and not winning headers from long ball, he might just add an extra level to a pacey counterattack to hold for swp and bellers

having said that, i expect him not to play 90mins as ireland has the potential to be that supersub that forces their hand to sub too. and seeing that he might not have the right mindset to do any shooting yet, he might be useful in providing the holding and passing. or if he sees fit, he can just blast from 20 yards out anyway.

having ade might also force them to play true man-marking with evans on adebayor, and rio on tevez.

Top post on top tactics.
I tried to say quite the same but U definetely did far better and clear.

Can't wait for wed... very much hoping for Ade being just healty enough to start... :-)

ade on the bench for me...

shay

zab micah vince javier

barry dejong

ireland
swp bellers
tevez


ireland again yesterday showed us what a clever player he is.... he has to start. he is our most creative player who gets the passing moving forward alot quicker.

ade on the bench gives us a real option. i fear if we start him then we dont have a proper match changing sub..

....................Given....................
Richards..Touré..Onuoha/Kompany..Garrido

...........Ireland......de Jong...........
Bellamy........Adebayor........Petrov
...................Tévez....................

Adebayor playing a holding up-passing game and getting into the box when Bellamy/Petrov are legging it down the wing, (Like that other guy said)

Ireland playing box to box, de Jong doing what he does.

If Touré is'nt back (Ivory Coast got knowcked out) then play a defence of:

Richards....Onuoha....Kompany....Garrido

If Adebayor is'nt OK to go then play a midfield and attack of:

....................de Jong....................
.........Ireland..............Barry...........
Bellamy...........Tévez............Petrov

Or:

...........Ireland..........de Jong.........
Bellamy..........Robinho...........Petrov
.....................Tévez....................

the idea of dropping Barry is a thoroughly bad one IMO

I just hope the blues at the swamp get behind him and let him know we're glad to have him back.

if I'm not mistaken they sang a song for him yesterday, despite some people on here being thoughtless and worse, I'm pretty sure he will get a fantastic welcome from our support.
