formation possibility with scott parker and sweep out....

[Jason]

When we where struggling to find someone for that RM role Elano played it a number of times and was quite poor,(and unlike so I have a lot time for him as a player).

swap ireland and elano and that would work...

ireland did well on the right last year

Ireland was complete shite on the right last season, okay he has been great this season but to try and say he was anything but shit last season is a load of bollocks.

 

[Balti]

I'd be surprised if we see Elano in the shirt again

 

[bluemoondays]

We need to tighten the midfield to support the defence and get some wins, even if they are 1-0

I'd go (with SWP out and assuming Ned & Superman back soon), narrow formation

.......................Hart........................
Richards.....Dunne....Onuoha.......Bridge
.....................................................
.....Zab............Vinnie........Parker.......
.............Ireland.........Robbie.............
....................Caicedo...................... (Or Studge, but I'm hoping we sign a class striker)

Subs: Schmikes, Garrido, Studge, Evans, Fernandes, Berti, Logan?

Hopefully this team will show some balls and actually try but I'm still not confident of Richards. What really worries me is I can't fill the subs bench with players who I feel are going to even try for the team (or how good they may be) if they get brought on.

ideally with our current squad if everyones fit and on form...

this would be who id pick for first team 11

HART (made some quality saves this year)

ZAB (been a great addition)
RICHARDS (when he's on form and has great covering wing backs)
DUNNE (with full confidence back)
BRIDGE (cos he's quality)

PETROV (adds real width)
IRELAND (we all know what he can do)
JOHNSON (was awesome last year when he was fit)

ROBINHO (no words needed)
BOJINOV (this guy could be our answer if he could get rid of his injuries)
SWP (no words needed)

The problem is that the side is tiny. There's no one to hold up the ball

no Kompany or Parker?

Think Onouha is still injured, if you want width why not play Garrido on the left on midfield and let Robbie have a free role in behind the striker.

The problem with Garrido at the mo is his defending - going forward he looks pretty good
