Quote from: JUAN PABLO on June 14, 2013, 12:59:30 PMguaranteed for me - end of season form Guzan Lowton Okore Vlarr Westwood Benteke there is only one way to find out for the rest - fight How can you include Okore when he has no end of season form at Villa to judge by? And what about Gabby, Sylla and Delph? They were all excellent in the second half of last season.

Fooking hell. 4-3-3, liquid football, full backs getting up front? Thank you based Lambert. I enjoy watching us play again.

Guzan Lowton. Okore. Vlaar. Bennett Bacuna. Westwood. Delph Weimann. Benteke. Gabby

Doesn't fill me with massive confidence to be honest. Weakest area is clearly defence. A solid pro or two in the spine would be nice.
How can anyone put forward a best XI and include players we've never seen play in the premier league before?
Things have also gone quiet with Benteke, he doesn't look to be rushing to sign an extension to his contract.

Although I do think Lambert is building a squad and not just a first team, I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone thought our strongest 11 is, in whatever formation you like, now we've signed a few players. Obviosuly, this can then evolve as we sign more and start seeing them in pre-season.Anyway, here's mine playing a 4-3-3-:-GuzanLowtonVlaarOkoreBennettDelphWestwoodSyllaWeimannBentekeTonevI think that midfield three worked well the end of last season, so it's up to Bacuna to fight his way into it. I've included Tonev as I've always felt Gabby would be a great impact player from the bench, but we've rarely had the attacking options to use him that way.
