Christmas Tree 94 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 So time to bring some CT match thread starting magic to our relegation battle. Two new signings are apparently straight in according to local journos so my team for Saturday will be... Elliott Janmaat. Mbemba Coloccini. Dummett* Sissoko Shelvey Wijnaldum Saivet De Jong* Mitrovic * Could Colback do better than Dummett at LB * Assuming Perez needs a rest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neither Shelvey nor Wijnaldum are defensive midfielders, so your centre is pretty flimsy there. Elliott Janmaat Memba Colo Dummett Colback/Tiote/Anita Sissoko Shelvey Wijnaldum Mitrovic The defensive midfielder should be given the job of neutralising Payet.

trooper 193 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 I can see this being a difficult game for us with West Ham pushing for a Champions League spot & ourselves desperate for 3 points with both teams wanting a win it'll probably be a 1-1 draw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christmas Tree 94 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Saivet hasn't been playing as a left winger, he's been played centrally. Neither Shelvey nor Wijnaldum are defensive midfielders, so your centre is pretty flimsy there. Elliott Janmaat Memba Colo Dummett Colback/Tiote/Anita Sissoko Shelvey Wijnaldum Mitrovic The defensive midfielder should be given the job of neutralising Payet. First of all you don't have Saivet in your line up and the word up here (could be shit) is that he'll start. As for whether he plays out wide, the article you pasted and bolded suggests he will solve our out wide position ??? http://www.umaxit.com/index.php/columns/swansea-city-jonjo-shelvey-an-uncharacteristic-mess .

As for whether he plays out wide, the article you pasted and bolded suggests he will solve our out wide position ??? It does, but I posted it for the Shelvey discussion. Saivet has (and I can't believe I'm having to say this again) player predominantly in the centre. Re him not being in my starting line up, I know, it was deliberate. I'm of the opinion it might take him longer to settle into the league than Shelvey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Haydnator 45 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 Is Aarons fit yet? If so I would go... Elliott Janmaat Mbemba Colo Dummett Tiote/Anita Shelvey Sissoko Wijnaldum Aarons Mitrovic If Aarons is still injured just keep Perez there, or maybe give De Jong a go?

Saivet has (and I can't believe I'm having to say this again) player predominantly in the centre. So you find an article, find a section you want to hammer home, bold it, but then argue against it? Fair enough You do realise I'm coming for you as soon as he turns up on the left wing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dickie 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2016 I'd like to see de Jong come in for Perez as well. As others have said he's looked shot recently and I thought de Jong was unlucky to be dropped. He had enough quality touches in the couple of games he played to suggest there's a quality player there if he can get a run of games. He is slow but you can get away with that in his position if you're good enough. He also seemed to have a good influence on the team - we played well those couple of games. With him, shelvey, sissoko and wijnaldum there should be a canny bit of quality on the ball there, if admittedly not a lot of pace. No idea what saivet does so it'll be interesting to see where he fits in. It will be a hard game - 2-2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough You do realise I'm coming for you as soon as he turns up on the left wing. Hey, Mr Potatohead, how am I arguing against it? Shelvey could be key to Newcastle, that's e point of the article. Saivet gets a line, if that, and it's not accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
