Romey 1878 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 True, but I don't really see how else it's going to work Neither do I, Matt. Our signings are good but they just don't seem right for the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Neither do I, Matt. Our signings are good but they just don't seem right for the system. Which one? Not like we've settled on a stable one anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Which one? Not like we've settled on a stable one anyway Really? It's clear we want to play as narrow as possible, as slow as possible, with as many central players as possible, with as little pace as possible... if that's not a system then I don't know what is .

StevO Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm positive he still wants to play 433, it's always been his favoured system. Needs pace though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted September 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Now do we bring Barkley and Niasse back into the equation of who would be in your starting eleven assuming everyone is fit, Ross would probably make a few squads not sure the same could be said about Niasse, but never say never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'd be intrigued to see a DCL, Barkley, Vlasic front 3. I'd maybe even consider Niasse on the bench. He is a nuisance and if you needed a goal he might just pop up somewhere. Thats as far as he would get though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 I'm all for giving Niasse a solid chance at this point. He's definitely rough but he's shown he can score a goals in the league. He would be an okay shout for cup matches against lesser opposition when our schedule is congested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Tough one tbh when fully fit something like the below, when we have everyone back and pending how Vlasic settles and Barkley if he stays on we should have some decent versatility tbh -----------------------Pickford Coleman---Keane-----Jagielka---Baines -------------------------Gana --------Schneiderlin----Sigurdsson Bolasie------------------------------------Sandro ------------------------Rooney markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Just wondering, based on ability rather than form, what would your starting 11 be? I'm sure I'll be a little controversial here, but in my opinion, the best XI based on who I think plays each role best is the following; Pickford Coleman Keane Zouma Digne Gana Gomes Lookman Siggy Richarlison Cenk markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 It’s tough to squeeze Bernard out. I think he will come into his own the second half of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I think the 11 that start at present are the best we have, I would probably try switching one or two, but to take any of them out would weaken the side aaron 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUnderToff Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Depends on structure, but wouldn't mind seeing a bit more variation. Current 4-2-1-3 Coleman Keane Zouma Digne Gueye. Gomes Siggurdson Lookman Tosun Richarlison Think that plays Richarlison to his strength and gives us an outlet through the middle. Probably toss a coin/rotate who starts between Lookman/Bernard and Tosun/DCL. Wouldn't mind seeing Silva try an attacking 4-3-3 or a straight 4-4-2 against suitable opposition. Would bring Bernard on for Gueye in both those formations, play Richarlison alongside Tosun/DCL in a front 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily he's a hard worker and trying his best to make it work but there's games were you don't even notice he's on the pitch. The rest of the midfielders I picked are more proactive compared to Sigs reactive. Tempted to go for Kenny over Coleman as his legs are going.

Kenny is much better with his passing, not so on defence, if we could get him up to speed with defence Kenny wpuld be good for the club, there were a couple of attacks on Sunday where Coleman was excellent, and I couldn't help thinking that Kenny would have been fleeced, of course it all comes with experience, shame Colemans final ball has never been that great.

Got to say I think his pressing is one of the strongest parts of his game. He's not the quickest but he implieents his press well.
