Btay Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 This is the team I would like. McCarthy as the holding midfielder and Barkley & Cleverley further forward. I doubt it will happen though, Barry will play. Im quick to give Barry stick but hes look alright pre-season, if he plays against Watford i wont be too upset aslong as McCarthy is bombing forward more.

Romey 1878 Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Martinez says he knows the starting 11 for the Watford game. I'm sure every other fucker knows it too what with us only having 2 new players (one of them being injured), and then having an injury list as long as my arm! Edit - it also suggests, as we all suspected, that no one will be brought in this week. Edited August 5, 2015 by Romey 1878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoblue Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 So, realistically then we're going to trot out something equal parts impressive and intimidating like this: ----------------TH-------------- Coleman--Jags--Browning--Baines -------------Barry's Nan------------- Osman -- McCarthy -- Barkley -------Naismith -- Kone --------- While that lineup fills me with very little confidence, I imagine Watford supporters are in a fairly similar position right now. At least we know what brand of garbage we'll witness. Has 0-0 written all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddock Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Just watched his press conference for Watford. Stones defo fit he doesn't mention Mirallas and they will assess Lukaku in next 48 hours which translates to him probably not being fit.

It could well off tbf, I kept sliding it bsck when he was talking sbout when Deulefeu to see if I could hear how long he said but could only make 15 out at the end.

Even our press conferences are shite! They were fine last year, no idea what they've changed. Think they're trying to directly record to YouTube rather than upload a video (if thats even possible). Either way, this method is shite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogs Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 The 4-3-3 people have mentioned with Barkley, McCarthy, Cleverley in midfield looks decent on paper, but we just don't have the squad to back that up. Ossie and Naismith just wouldn't fit anywhere, we have no back up wingers in a front 3 and take Lukaku out and we have no one to provide a central focus. We'll play 4-2-3-1 every game with two holding midfielders and a fudge in the front four whenever there are injuries because that is the shape of the squad Martinez has built.

milesey05 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) It's a sad situation when we have to rely on Rom being fit or it's all doom and gloom.......against Watford at home. These should be the sort of games where our injured players coming back could sit out for that extra bit, as our back up players would be more than capable to fill in. Unfortunately with our squad with only have a good starting 11 when all are fit....bar a couple i suppose. So i am also praying Rom is fit for Sat, along with Stones and Kev, then we have more than enough to beat Watford and only Watford. More faces will be essential for the following weeks trip to Southampton. Edited August 6, 2015 by milesey05 markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
