that is dangerous
Sorry have to disagree, all 4 good to great players in their own right but I think we would get destroyed especially away from home with those 4 in midfield. I am especially concerned with Robbie playing left midfield, I know he played on the left last year but that was more of a left forward role. Its nice to have formation options but I believe that our main formation will be 4-3-3/4-5-1!
this was for at home defiantly away it should change.
Swp & Ireland can not play in the same team away from home not enough steel, I personally think Swp first team apperances will be limited this year if/when we get Tevez
Don't agree with that to be honest mate. I don't think there was any thing wrong with the away performances from either player last season.
The problem which we have is simple; we have never been used to having a squad. Without doubt Ireland and Robinho were our two best players going forward last season, however, both players are perfectly suited for the 4-5-1/4-3-3 system with Ireland playing behind the main striker and Robinho coming in off the left. I believe Ireland has the ability to play in a midfield 2, but Robinho hasn't got the work rate/strength to play out on the left wing, so you either keep on adapting the said system, or you play 4-4-2 and play Robinho up front.
In my opinion, Tevez or no Tevez, SWP needs to play, as he is our only naturally wide right player who can play as a forward or midfielder.
Obviously Hughes knows the score (not according to some!) and he will pick the best TEAM, not the best players, so all will be revealed.
Personally, I am very excited when looking through what our potential starting line up would be, and thinking that our bench is likely to include players such as Bellamy, Caicedo, Petrov, Bojinov, Elano (for now), Johnson (I still live in hope) and two out of Richards, Onouha, Zabaleta, Dunne (for now), Kompany. And thats without thinking about some of our young talent - Weiss, Mee, McGivern...
"Good times for a change" so said Mr. Morrisey.
