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


Recommended Posts

FWIW, my selection:

 

Given

 

Enrique

Cacapa

Faye

Taylor

Beye

 

Emre

N'Zogbia

Milner

 

Owen

Ameobi

 

But as others have said this exercise just shows up the problems in midfield so starkly.

Taylor in goal, I've seen it all now.

The first choice eleven that's emerging strikes me as too flimsy. A team has to win the ball (ie defend), keep the ball and use the ball. There are too many players in there who are good at using the ball, but not the other two. That front six won't work for that reason.

Keegans team on saturday was basically the strongest team. Maybe try charlie in midfield instead of Barton. Despite bartons poor performance still showed that he could pick a pass, just needs to sort his fitness and mind out

                        Duff

            Martins
