I would play neville there and start VDM and Cahill with Davies and Arteta. (or Osman for Davies). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is average at best - and we rarely see him at best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 The problem with not playing Kilbane there is that it means you have to play Neville there and can't afford to take him out of the midfield. Play Kilbane left back and VDM on left wing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play Kilbane left back and VDM on left wing <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Disagree - we have plenty of central midfielders that can cover for Neville's position in the holding role. And the holding role doesnt work that well in a 4-4-2 formation - yet neville still sits back - just infront of the back 4. I think that Moyes should put neville at left back and have a midfield of arteta....Davies.....Cahill.......VDM It is very attacking but is exactly what we need.

RuffRob Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I am afraid I am with Adam. Having Nellive's steel and decent distrobution using 4-4-2 is a must, I would rather see Killa at left back. Left back is probabley Neville's worst positon, so to an extent is therefore wasted. At least with Killa playing LB the rest of the team, particularly our center backs, will be more than aware of killa's lack of experience in that position, and should therfore have one eye on covering him or at least be alert to the potential dangers and cover as required. Using neville at LB could give the rest of the squad a false sence of security. just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fozzie22 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Truth of the matter is this,the whole player shortage has come home to roost So what we signed 8 players in the summer,we needed 12 or more,the squads been bum humped by DM and the board(or maybe he was under instructions from the board) and its come home to roost We dont have the sqaud to do much this season,other than fight relegation,wwe got lucky last year with injurys but its all sadly caught up with us now.

rowlo-efc Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not so sure about the 12 players talk. I think that Moysey has brought in some good players - my only problem with his transfer dealings is that he failed to bring another striker. Arteta is a great signing Ferrari is a great signing Valente, VDM, Kroldrup have the markings of a set of great signings. I think that we are cutting Moyes and the board down because they didnt secure the signature of a decent striker. Although proving detrimental - I am glad that he didn't sign Forssell! We have to get on with it - the squd is as it is and we cant improve it until January - and we dont want to wait until then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluenose Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 just a little known fact about kroldrup is that he plays on the left center in defence. could we start him on the left and cope with weir for this one game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For udinese he played on the right (as in centre back) but for us, pre-season, MOyes had him playing in Weir's role. He is also taller than Dunc so we would lose the advantage on the crosses if he was playing wing back. No - for me, Neville has to be the choice. But it wont happen that way.

Adam Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I would look at playing Yobo there. He has the pace and am sure he will manage there for a game or 2. Could most prob handle Pennent as well. Play Koldrup and Weir in the middle and Yobo on the left. he likes to get forward as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is good in the air and rarely loses out in a tackle so CB is his best position. He makes mistakes - but then Weir is far worse. Still think that Neville is the only option for LB. Then that frees up a space in midfield for Osman or Davies to fill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtooley Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Neville at LB is much better than Kilbane. Kilbane against Pennant doesn't bear thinking about !! VDM - Cahill - Arteta and Davies across midfield, Dunc and Beattie up front - McFadden if Dunc cann't play. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
