Formation and Player strategy for next games.

[Ami05]

We have the players, we have the money, what do we need to adjust and who do we need to play most to win. That is the question on everyones mind.

........Tevez.........Harewood(till Ashton returns)


Boa.......RC.............Yossi.............Ethers/Kepa


????..........Niel..........Ferdinand(perhaps).........?????


.............Green..........................

with some decent subs on the bench. ???




What is everyones thoughts?

[ballard45]

Assuming the fitness of some of these I'd like to see this


Green
Neill, Upson, Gabbidon, McCartney
Boa, Yossi, Reo-Coker, Ethers
Kepa, Tevez

Subs: Carroll, Ferdinand, Harewood, Quashie, Davenport, Cole

Some of Harewoods best performances this year have happend when he comes on as a sub...he seems to be more fired up.

I don't think there wil be a place for Gabbidon until he is FULLY fit which could be next season. I would like to see Anton go back to RB with Davenport partnering Upson and Neill at LB.

I think Ballard's got it just about right.

We need a left footed player at left back who is accustomed to plyaing there, either Konch or McCartney. McCartney will play much better with solid support from the central pair. He is actually a half decent player in defence and we will see his best when playing alongside Upson, Gabbidon or Ferdinand. This will also allow him to get forward more.

Boa is used to the left side but doesn't seem to mind where he roames, so maybe switching him to right isn't such a risk.

Kepa and Tevez up front with Yossi behind them simply has to work. The two strikers should compliment each other and we know Yossi and Tevez are already starting to click.

They all speak Spanish which is a plus.

We won't see all those players on Saturday of course I reckon Saturday's starting lineup should be:

Green
Spector, Upson, Davenport, McCartney
Boa, Yossi, Reo-Coker, Ethers
Kepa, Harewood

Subs: Carroll, Ferdinand, Zamora, Quashie, Sherringham, Cole
