I know bellamy has been outstanding recently but for me this is 100% our best team.

What I love about the squad at the moment is that we have so many options.

There will be games when we just don't need a holding midfielder, so NDJ can take a breather and let another flair player in - worked against Wolves & Blackburn

There will be times when the opposition defence consists of 4 brick shithouses so we may want SWP and Petrov to turn the defence down the flanks and round the back, and we may want Ade & RSC to play together up front

There will be times when the opposition come to Eastlands and park a bus across the goal, so we will need Robi & all his tricks to unlock the defence

There will be times when we need to scrap and harry all day long, break up play and generally be annoying - who better at that than Tevez and Bellamy?

Good times to be a blue...

I think Ireland is really missing Robinho this season.

Given

Richards
Toure
Nedum
Lescott

SWP
Dejong
Barry
Robinho

Ireland

Ade

I have added in Bellamy and Tevez because i think they are a good pairing like Robinho/Ireland and either sets of 2 are just as equal of dropping each other from the squad. Its really hard to pick the best 11 giving recent form and Form from last season, Id still rate Ireland over Tevez and Robinho over Bellamy (Who i think has been our best player) But i feel both deserve a place in a lineup.

I feel thats our strongest line up but it all depends on the opposition and the squad rotation and ofcourse Ireland's partnership in midfield with Robinho. Kompany and RSC will feature more when african nations cup starts and ofcourse when they are both fit again, But looking at the squad there are so many differant variations we can play depending on the challenge we face i am already looking at the squad i have wrote down and thinking of changes i can make. I dont fancy being Sparky for a week, wages aside.


Given

Richards
Toure
Nedum
Lescott

SWP
Ireland
Barry
Bellamy

Robinho
Ade

Id drop De Jong for some of the more open games, Barry can do a good job infront of the back 4 and have Robinho behind Ade, involving more link up play with Ireland and Bellamy and SWP tearing up the wings. Im not totally made up on the defence, Nedum at RB and Bridge at LB Kolo and Lescott in the middle or even Micah in a Central role and Lescott LB but again it just shows the cover we have and i have not mentiond a couple of players who can step into the side.

Its too late and i have wrote enough randomness for a good week or two.

yeah, swap Toure for RSC to sterdy the ship a little

 

[shortagain]

Just a thought, why not play 3 at the back, 5 in mid field with 2 up top

SG, KT, JL, WB, SWP, NDJ, VK, SI, GB, EA & RSC or CB

 

[TonyM]

It pains me to leave out SWP, Robinho, DeJong and a few others but I'd like us to play the following (when we can)...

...............Given..............
Richards Toure Lescott Bridge
Tevez .Ireland .Barry .Bellamy
.....Adebayor ..SantaCruz....

Ade and Rocky would help out hugely on defensive set plays. Both would keep any defense busy. Bellamy and Tevez, full of energy, would be more than good on the wings. Ireland and Baryy would keep everything tidy in the middle.
