It pains me to see the clueless formations above really.

 

Look....

 

...................Harper.................

 

Beye......Faye.......Collo......Enrique

 

.....................Butt.....................

 

............... Gutherie..............

 

..Duff...........Jonas............Zoggy.....

 

 

 

..................Martins......................

 

 

If Owen is fit then Jonas on the left and Owen where Jonas is.

Are you trying to outdo the worst ones btw? What the fuck is that? :anal:

The only reason I can see us grabbing a point is because Man Utd were hopeless at finishing today, and Rooney is hardly a goal-machine, although his record against us is fucking ridiculous, I must admit.

 

As long as Duff grabs one of his trademark hat-tricks, we should be alright.

:anal: How does the midfield work? Butt sitting just in front of the back four then Guthrie just in front of him? Pass the spliff man.

He's not really in front of him it's just to show he will play the forward passes when we have the ball but help Butt sit when we don't.

ahhh the famous 4-1-1-3-1 that took the 1975 Yeovil to League and Cup glory.

 

Chelsea under Mourinho would be closer.

But still different :anal:

Not ideally what I want, but what I think it'll be:

 

Given

 

Beye Taylor Cacapa Enrique

 

Jonas Guthrie Butt Milner

 

Duff Oba

 

 

Have to agree with you Glen on this one.

 

It's all well and good to hypothesise about what formation we would like to see out there, but you have to remember that we haven't seen Faye at all this pre-season, and Coloccini has only been training with a youth side (according to reports) to maintain fitness. He'll surely be short of match sharpness. Taylor and Cacapa have been our pre-season central defensive partnership, so to think that it will change now is pretty hopeful. Coloccini is better than both Taylor and Cacapa, but without having played with our side at all and without a pre-season match under his belt, throwing him into a Premier League match against Manchester United at Old Trafford could be a big mistake. Much better in my opinion to 'blood' him against Bolton at home the following week. Anyone remember who our last recruit from Deportivo played his first match against?

 

Milner and Jonas will swap sides on occassion, and Duff will sit deeper (and wider) than Oba. We'll mainly be looking to catch them on the counter attack, trying to get Martins behind their defense. Hopefully this doesn't mean that we play long balls, but instead use our wide men to advance the ball. Owen could play some part, depending how he gets through a mid-week behind closed doors match. I would imagine that Faye will feature in that, and Coloccini too, if the papers are signed by then.

 

Taylor and Cacapa make a very slow central defensive pairing, I worry about their ability to contain Tevez and if he plays, Rooney. Beye and Enrique will no doubt be called on to assist. Enrique was our quickest defender last season, and having lost some weight in the off-season should by my calculations be even faster now.

I think KK will play 5 in midfield and 1 striker, I have a horrible feeling that he is going to play Smith or Geremi in a CM role(I really hope I`m wrong) to try and nullify their creative midfielders. This is the team I THINK KK will pick

 

----------------Given-------------

Beye---Taylor------Cacapa--Zog

 

--------------Butt-----------------

Milner/Jonas----Gutherie---Smith/Geremi--Duff

------------Oba---------------------

 

This is the team I would pick

 

-------------Harper--------------

Beye----Taylor---Faye------Enrique

 

---------------Butt---------------

Jonas-----Gutherie--------Zoggy

 

------------Duff---------------

 

------------Oba--------------

 

Think the best we can hope for Owen is a cameo from the bench. If Faye aint fit then Bassong. Defo have Enrique @ LB ahead of Zoggy, IF Owen was fit then Zog gets dropped for Duff. Harps deserves to start due to last seasons form, a kick in the teeth if Given walks back into the team TBH
