Peter H Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2012 I can understand you wanting to put Howard up front Pete, but Drenthe and Donovan would make lousy defenders. Its the away line up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Its the away line up Lol. What about this: Howard Hibbert Heitinga Distin Coleman Fellaini Rodwell Baines Drenthe Saha Donovan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Lol. What about this: Howard Hibbert Heitinga Distin Coleman Fellaini Rodwell Baines Drenthe Saha Donovan Dunno if you switched Drenthe and Donovan on purpose but doing so would allow them to cut in and have a pop at goal while leaving the corridor open for Baines and Coleman. The reason i didnt do it in my line up was because i wanted them to be able to mix it up with the wingbacks and take turns on the crosses. Why did you leave Jags out of it? Hibbo has been good this year but im not sure he could manage in the center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibbo has been good this year but im not sure he could manage in the center. Hibbert is our best defender for tackling. In that role, he would come forward less, which would suit him, and make him ideal. Heitinga can float forwards when in possession, and Distin is a natural Left back. The 4 of Coleman, and Baines out wide gives both added defence, and attack, without being the 'final' defence, as neither are our best defenders, while the middle pairing of Rodwell and Fellaini is physical, and determined. Playing 3 up front gives extra width, and hold up options, combined with flair, and both Donovan and Drenthe can shoot on their best foot. Are you listening Dave?
