Title: Starting Line up against Swansea
Post by: Rick_avfc on November 22, 2011, 02:00:40 PM
Which starting line up do you think Eck should play against the Swans and which formation?

Im thinking 4-4-2 with the line up as follows:-

Given
Warnock
Dunne
Cuellar
Hutton

Bannan
Herd
Jenas
Nzogbia

Gabby
Bent

I would go with that but in a 4-2-3-1 with Petrov and Herd holding and Jenas pushing on behind Bent, and Gabby and N'Z supporting from wider positions. We need 3 in centre midfield when we don't have the ball otherwise Swansea will have similar posession stats to Spurs last night.

Yeah Jenas is my most advanced of the trio there.

Post by: Merv on November 22, 2011, 02:13:22 PM
I'm split on Hutton or Cuellar at RB, but otherwise the same line-up as Soccer's. Clark must start games soon.

Subs: Guzan, Hutton/Cuellar, Delph, Bannan, Albrighton, Weimann, Gardner.

I want to see Petrov dropped.  I think Herd will do an equally good job in the holding MF role compared to him.  I dont rate Petrov at all.  Jenas has to start for sure.  Its going to be a tough game for sure.  They didn't do too bad against Utd so will definitely have a go at us.

  After that disgraceful performance last night, i don't see the point of playing Petrov, Heskey, Collins or Cuellar.We obviously are a club that is in transition, so instead of playing ageing professionals who are past the sell by date, we may as well play younger players with something to prove.

  What i saw last night was Petrov going through the motions, same age as Parker?, compare and contrast their performances, Heskey working hard, and actually looking a better LB than Warnock, but offering nothing going foward.A headless Hutton, who looked as if he had just wandered onto the pitch after having drunk 10 pints of Tennants Xtra, not knowing his role, or what he should be doing, Collins giving yet more goals away again.More importantly i saw a Aston Villa manager surrender to a club no bigger than ourselves, an absolute disgrace.

  Team

   Given, Hutton, Clarke,Dunne,Warnock,Herd,Jenas,Ireland/Bannan,N'Zog, Bent, Gabby.I'd rather play Gardenenr, A,brighton, Delph than Petrov or Heskey tbh

  I can't believe people keep picking Petrov.He is THE problem with the team.It is only the introduction of Herd that has improved his performances.He has no stamina, no energy, no pace, limited passing.Ireland offers a foward breaking midfielder who tries to get in the box, Bannan has his passing.

 Petrov needs to be shown the door tbh, average at best.Herd was by far our best player last night, what does that say.

He would fall over first!

I wonder if in Heskeys contract there is a clause that if fit he has to play - it seems crazy that 3 different managers continue to play him when he is so shit and contributes nothing to the team or our way of playing (assuming we have a way other than 11 man defense)

Possibly, I'm almost certain there was something along those lines in Pires's contract that he had to be on the bench minimum if fit last season, as it was criminal he was on the bench ahead of Bannan and Delph at times.  I know Ireland, N'Zogbia and Albrighton are not in great form, but their performances to date have been no worse than Heskey/Hutton/Petrov/Herd last night and they have far greater potential than those 4, and will only improve by playing imo.  Bannan is in good form so hopefully he and Jenas will also see some more game time soon.  I'd love to see Clark and Gardner involved more as well, we have some very talented players available who for some reason are being held back or AM can't get the best out of right now.  This needs to change quickly.  Cuellar over Collins would be nice too.
Title: Re: Starting Line up against Swansea
Post by: dutchvilla on November 22, 2011, 05:09:33 PM
Heskey wasn't the worst player last night and Petrov certainly hasn't been the worst player this season.

The problem is McLeish cannot seem to pick a coherent front six.

Either
Herd Petrov
Jenas
Nzogbia Bent Agbonlahor

or
Albrighton Herd Jenas Nzogbia
Bent Agbonlahor

is more coherent than badly thought out experiments with Hutton at right midfield and Heskey in any midfield position.
Title: Re: Starting Line up against Swansea
Post by: PeterWithesShin on November 22, 2011, 05:14:24 PM
I feel sorry for Heskey. By sticking him on the wing McLeish may as well just send him out with Scapegoat on the back of his shirt.
Heskey can still be reasonably useful if played in the right position, winger isn't it.

Can't believe I'm reading the first bit, let alone the second. Would you really want Stephen Ireland replacing Petrov? He can't tackle!! Petrov has been one of the better players this season and at times a step above the rest. I am a fan of Ireland but he cannot play where Petrov does, he can only play behind a striker.

I can't believe I'm reading that "fan of Ireland" bit ...  :)

Seriously, I just don't get why people are promoting Ireland's cause: for the lack of commitment and irratic output we get from him, we'd be far better off investing the game-time in BB and GG. Their skill, commitment and enthusiasm will far outweigh their lack of experience and give the team more than Ireland will.

I don't doubt that he played some really good football at times during his career. But he's a freeloader and a corrosive influence on the squad. He is not the future (presumably if only because of his high wages) and is taking up space in the squad that would be better-suited to someone on the "upp" - i.e. BB or GG.

And he has a face that makes me want to punch it!

I really think its about time Gary Gardner was given at least 30mins/45mins.  He is 19 and I believe if you are good enough then you are old enough.  Why are we waiting to unleash one of our hottest prospects from our academy?  Everton started playing Rooney at 16, Leeds started playing James Milner at 16, Michael Owen started at 17 right?  So why not Gardner?  Do the management feel he still isn't good enough?

Going 4-4-2 in this match would be as suicidal as it was on Monday. Watch Swansea pass us to death if we do.

I know people are saying that Gabby should be played through the middle, but I think unless we are playing a side who are going 4-4-2 as well, we are far better off going with 3 in the middle and getting Gabby to play wide of Bent.

Is Jenas fit? Was he fit for Monday?

Like the look of that. But do not think he will drop Hutton .....

He will be trying to prove Hutton was actually a good signing. I'd drop Collins for Clark. I'd also have Herd in midfield with Petrov and Jenas.

I've been thinking about this for the past few days and i've decided on the following team.

                            Given

Herd              Dunne        Collins      Warnock


            Bannan         Petrov      Jenas

N'Zogbia                   Bent              Gabby


Subs: Guzan Albrighton Heskey Carlos Ireland Clark Delph
I think this is a good shout

                                         Given

herd        Cuellar                 Dunne                   Warnock


Albrighton     Clark      Bannan           Delph         Gabby


                                                Bent


A young team but Heskey and petrov are not our future.

Clark doing the dirty work in midfield, Delph as the legs and BB playing behind bent and looking to get Gabby and MA into the game and using our natural width.

We may lose but fuck me anything is better than watch heskey and Hutton in midfield
