I was trying to pick a team from when Chris Reeve was picking his. Oh yeah, sorry! I'd still pick Fleming, Jackson and Mackay over your 2! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duncan Edwards 2,274 Posted November 19, 2021 Ok, this is still difficult! I think if I was going 4-2-3-1, I’d go something like: Gunn, Culverhouse, Linighan, Newsome, Bowen, Crook, Francis, Buendia, Maddison, Huckerby, Bellamy. An alternative 4-4-2 might look like: Green, Aarons, Bruce, Watson, Drury, Fox, Townsend, Sherwood, Eadie, Sutton, Drinkell And then I could still choose a 4-1-3-2 of: Krul, Martin, Bassong, Fleming, Lewis, Holt, Snodgrass, Hoolahan, Pilkington, Holt, Ashton. And I feel guilty about leaving out plenty of players from those THREE sides. Pukki, Fleck etc. Pukki would be closest to the first side listed I think. Fleck more likely in 2 or 3.

Thinking about it “tactically” I might swap Drury and Bowen, not based on perceived ability but just that Drury would be better suited to the defensive work necessitated by having Huckerby in front of him than Mark Bowen.
