So then......Pick your first XI


Recommended Posts

Harper, Beye, Cacapa, Faye, Enrique, Milner, Barton, Geremi, N'Zogbia, Owen, Martins.

 

Why Barton you ask? He played two delightful balls against Blackburn, which is just an ounce of what he can actually do.

11 players leading the poll are the 11 i picked for my starting 11.

Nice to know my thoughts werent way off

 

That seems to be the general consensus mate, the problem being if the majority of us can pick that team, how come or recent string of managers don't! With 71 voters so far the majority team stands as:

 

----------------------------------HARPER--------------------------------------

 

BEYE-----------------FAYE---------------CACAPA------------------ENRIQUE

 

MILNER--------------EMRE--------------N'ZOGBIA--------------------DUFF

 

-----------------------OWEN-------------MARTINS------------------------------

 

That has the look of a more continental ball playing football team which would suit Keegans typical style of football. A bit light weight in midfield but probably from a technical perspective our best "footballing" team.

Looking at that team though, it looks awfully soft in the middle. Instead, my team is soft at the back: Taylor and Cacapa, with Geremi and Faye in front of them

Geremi's got more votes than Duff.

The result clearly shows we need a need CB. Faye should be playing defensive midfielder because Butt and Barton are just too s*** to play.

 

Hope that Diatta impresses and is better than we have  :-[ If so this could maybe free up Faye to move from CH and play in DM role? Also moving Beye to CH and Geremi at RB??

Taylors having mares, Barton and Butt are shite.

Christ were thin on quality. Id maybe think of : :undecided:

 

                         Harper

 

Beye/Geremi   Faye/Diatta??/Edgar?   Beye    Enrique

 

                              Faye  

 

                            Zoggy    

 

Milner                                                             Duff

 

 

             Owen                     Martins

Harper 70 votes and Given 39.

 

Laughable.

 

Why?

 

Given is clearly a far superior keeper.  It's not even up for debate imo.

 

A few dodgy games when not even fully fit isn't gonna make me jump on a "omggg he's past it" bandwagon.

Rather than make a new thread I'd ask this thread;  what's the consensus on Duff?  Should he start in place of milner, zog or not at all?

 

I think he's looked like a better player the past few, but didn't vote for him.  Would have him on the bench though.

Ive been critical of Duff since he came tbh. Think hes under performed mostly, however I would admit of late hes been showing better form.

Id play him LW and move Zoggy centrally.

I personally like to have our more  talented players on the ball as much as possible and sadly due to Emre also being a huge disappointment, I would maybe think Zoggy could be our creative player we so desperatley need.It may tide us over till we can sign a midfield creator in the summer?

Given is not the player he was, for whatever reason he's behind Harper now.

So early results would indicate we stand as follows:

 

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

 

Beye--------Faye---------------xxxxxx-------------Enrique

 

Milner-------xxxxxxx-----------xxxxxxx------------N'Zogbia

 

---------------Owen-------------Martins-------------------------

 

Would you be happy with signing two centre midfielders and a centre half? In all fairness I can see the core of a half decent team there.

 

 

 

Completely agree with your side. I think we should also look to get a little more quality on the right in the summer, should we avoid the drop.

No doubt in my mind.

So you'd pick on name not form? That's one of our biggest problems atm.
