Team for Manure

Recommended Posts

Difficult to predict, but with Wisdom out, I would keep Martin at RB for this one, even though I think Whittaker on his day is better.  I can''t get out of my head the last time Wes played there where he looked totally dis-interested (the 4-0 cup defeat) so wouldn''t play him there (yes I know it was a long time ago and under Hughton).  Mulumbu surely has to come into it soon, so -                        Rudd Martin Bennett Bassong OlssonRedmond  Mulumbu O''Neil Brady                      Ofoe                   Mbokani

[quote user="Bor"]Lakey, any reason you have Odidja-Ofoe in an attacking midfielder position?[/quote]

He''s strong and direct and was signed as an attacking midfielder.  ("He is a versatile and very attack-minded midfielder" - Adams).

Oh and I meant to say Happy Xmas Lakey, as someone has said on that other site not sure why a few people give you such a hard time on here but all credit to you for staying around

Mmm.  Does Alex Neil''s use of VOO so far suggest he would be best deployed in this role ahead of Hoolahan or Howson?
I have no idea where you got that one from.  
Anyway....
To me the key today is to frustrate the already frustrated home fans and get them to start turning on their own team, so plug the midfield and make it hard for them.  O''Neil stays in a DM role as his passing is far better and he can spring a long pass to form a counter attack.  There is a chance Grabban will play, I suppose, as he is our quickest forward.
Suspect we may see Wes 2nd half or if chasing the game.

--------------------------------------------

Although I think a lot of the abuse or anger towards him is often unfair, I do think he brings quite a bit of it on himself. Take this thread for example, LDC has already stated that he wants Martin at right back, yet previously he has said that ''Martin is now a specialist centre back, not a right back. He will only ever play right back in an emergency. Can''t you people get it into your heads?'' - and then now as I say wants to play him at RB.

Shame we couldn''t keep some of the players we''ve loaned from other Prem sides over the past few years, would rather like lining up with;

Forster

Naughton Gibbs De Laet Wisdom

Dorrans Mulumbu Bertrand

Pacheco

Crouch Kane

Kane every day of the week! If we had strikers for other teams to actually worry about it''d take some pressure off the defence.

Kane is still very underrated in my opinion - admittedly he hasn''t done so well so far this season but his movement and general all-round game is immense. Think he''s going to be a big part of England''s future - not so much in principle like Rooney perhaps, but as a danger man who can actually score us goals.

Wrong week to play Utd as well, wish it was last week. They''ve got a strong team unfortunately today. Head up though, they''ve still been in poor form.

Are they 100% fit though, or does LVG fear that the team he put out last week would get beaten , so he''s risking his big names.

Thanks CA! Happy Xmas to you and yours.

Bor - I would like to see what Vadis can do in a free role.

Miggins - yes I think CM should be cb, but Wisdom is injured and Whittaker hasn''t featured recently.
