Wouldn't mind having a little bet that if we get our targets, this will how our team will look most weeks, with Kompany to come back in on bench.

I'm sorry, but i can't quite make out that team. Can you increase the font a bit?

thanks for thinking of De Niro and our other octogenarians.

Ha Ha - some would argue there are too many blinkered people on here - and it don't have look good in bold.

I read that you think whoever it is who had Kompany at centre half knows football. And I read that me putting out a balanced 4-4-2 'Just to mix it up' - in other words, this could be the team and no one has thought of it - is worthy of me knowing nothing about football. I don't actually think we will start with this team at Ewood, however there is more of a chance the team I picked playing than the one which you thought justified the 'knowing football' tag.

Fair enough mate - fiver?
(Why no Tevez)

2 grand if you want - Kompany won't be fit!

Why no Tevez? Playing 4-4-2 and having our 2 best wingers would suit RSC and Ade more, IMO.

Seriously now, how do I think we will line up?

Bit of an odd shape, but could work!

SWP Ireland Barry

Tevez Adebayor Robinho



A fookin class 4-3-3

plenty of grafters in that team

Not strong enough in midfield.

I'm like a bleeding parrot here but I'll post it again.

the midfield will be:

----------------De Jong-----Barry---------------

--------------------Ireland----------------------

That's how you get the best from IReland, and that's what Hughes will look to do.

Forget all your fan-formations. He will have the players to change formation during game, if necessary, something he never did last year, particularly with SWP and RSC on the bench.

But his first pick midfield will look like the above. I am absolutely sure.

Spot on!

Possibly Kompany flitting between De Jong and central defence, injuries and tiredness permitting.

Barry just sits and covers behind Robbie. Ireland must be allowed to pull the strings, he is good enough - De Jong is just another quality insurance policy, should Tevez lose his man down the right/Ireland through mid.
