Starting XI as things stand?

[Neil McNab's Tash]

Given

Richards
Dunne (c)
Onuoha
Bridge

De Jong
Barry

Tevez
Ireland
Robinho

Adebayor

Thats the one for me. SWP not going to get a start on todays performance.

I agree about SWP, but I am convinced that Lescott will be in our team for Blackburn, so either Ned or Dunnie with him

Tevez

Adebayor

definately this. I think that 433/451 is more suited to our play and 442 should not be used

You don't look too out of place at the top end, but that defense does look suspect, what about Kompany he is a Cb.

 

[HellasLEAF]

who would be the main set piece and penalty taker.

Robinho?

 

[the--dud]

That's an amazing post, out of all those line ups I'd say Barca is my favourite... Insanely good first XI!

Well what it should be given our current sqauad and providing all fit
Given (taylor, Kasper)
Ned as sweeper ( can be replaced by any from Micah
Kompany,Barry or Dunne : in that order)

SWP (Can be replaced by Micah, zeb,Ned)
Kompany
De Jong
Barry (Replaced by garrido, Bridge)

Tevez (Replaced by SWP,Bellamy, Weiss)
Elano (Replaced by SWP,Ireland,Johnson)
Ireland (Replaced by Barry,Petrov,garrido,Bridge)

Robinho (Elano,SWP,Bellamy,RSC)
Ade (RSC,Bojinov)

Play keep ball with no hoofng up field by goalkeeper and defence. BUT GUESS WHAT!!!
we will never see that team or tactic with our current management

more than likely
Given

Micah
Dunne
Ned
Bridge

SWP
Tevez
Ireland
Barry
Robinho

Ade

With lots of launching and running.

Just my opinion though.
