I'm quite happy if Daws plays v Sunderland. I think he needs a rest, but Kab is still unconvincing at times. I probably would go for Kab in this one, but if Daws plays I don't think he'll let us down.no no no no.. no Dawson.
I believe it was forced on AVB, this time against Fulham because they were getting at us down the right and Lennon swapping stopped that happening, Yes we did improve 100%. you are right.Playing Lamela on the right should be a priority- I know AVB loves to swap his inverted wingers
You don't need IT to pick the side, do what AVB does, pick the side out of a hat?What i'd like to see:
[formation="343, Lloris, Kaboul, Dawson, Chiriches, Walker, Sandro, Dembele, Townsend, Lamela, Soldado, Chadli"][/formation]
Well it doesn't appear this is working.... The team I'd like to see:
Lloris
Kaboul - Dawson - Chiriches
Walker - Sandro - Dembele - Townsend
Lamela - Soldado - Chadli
What I expect to see:
[formation="4231, Lloris, Walker, Kaboul, Chiriches, Naughton, Sandro, Dembele, Lennon, Holtby, Lamela, Soldado"][/formation]
Fryers IS a left back... Jan/Naughton are merely 'prepared to play there' (and not even 'prepared to' in Jan's case!!)
Surely that's gotta count for summit??
Yes he's young, but he's gotta get his chance at some point... Fergie obviously rated him... so why not give him a go in his favoured position, allowing Jan to recover, whilst letting Naughton THINK about what he's done!
Really expecting 3 pts here but Sunderland are desperate and their home form is improving. Still...shouldn't matter. Got to get the tree points and close some gaps.
Really want to see Holtby get the start, gotta let that German Terrier destroy their defenders with his speed and veracity. Playing Lamela on the right should be a priority- I know AVB loves to swap his inverted wingers but part of me wants Lamela playing his style of game before any true tinkering takes place. That being said, Lennon as a true winger on the left getting service into Soldado is a must. Townsend as an impact sub.
2-0
I would not be against Townsend at left back for 1 or 2 games.
We'd maybe just about get away with it against Sunderland....against Anzhi it doesn't matter if we play Friedel there....against Liverpool we would be pushing our luck
IIRC Rose scored his goal and then got substituted because he was getting turned over. Goal aside, which was probably a fluke, it wasn't a great performance@ Lister weren't you going on about having the best player for the system rather than the best player out of position? Surely fryers would fit your logic? Who's to say the "rookie" doesn't have a "Danny rose on his premier league debut" kind of game?

Make it a vodka and tonic and you're on!I'll buy everyone on here a beer if we win by 3 goals
