BONTEMPI Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 KPB plays nowhere near as deep as you're making out though. He's very much an attacking midfielder. It would have made slightly more sense if you'd posted a 4-4-1-1 with KPB alongside Barton/Guthrie rather than making it look utterly barmy. lol He was playing pretty much as a 2nd striker supporting gyan on the break and dropping back into centre midfield when defending Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 You couldn't keep that up on a weekly basis. Anyway, you couldn't operate a team like that in the EPL. Defensive suicide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I'm being pedantic here, but there are 3/4 comparable sides. 1 definite lesser. /straws Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I'm being pedantic here, but there are 3/4 comparable sides. 1 definite lesser. /straws Well this dependant on us getting the 2 players suggested Blackpool - lesser WBA - Lesser West Ham - Lesser Wolves - Lesser Wigan - Lesser Birmingham - Maybe lesser Think if we get quality additions we'll surprise a few people.

colinmk Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 We could easily play the 4-2-3-1 formation with HBA and KPB in the team. Guthrie and Barton are capable of playing some sumptuous balls forward and with quality like Ben Arfa, Boateng and Jonas further up field Carroll would get a bagful. :toke: ?

Ishmael Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 You've listed my comparable sides plus Birmingham who I feel are slightly ahead of us at present.

Neil Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Blackpool are the only team I'd definitely expect you to finish above. I think West Brom will do their usual thing of playing well but not pressing home their advantage in games they're the better side in. In what way are Birmingham and West Ham lesser?

We finished above West Brom in the relegation season and ahead of them again last season, since then they haven't improved more then us, I'd absolutely expect to finish above them (even if we didn't sign the likes of Ben Arfa).

And we finished comfortably ahead of them. West Brom, were awful defensively last year, if they perform like that in the Prem they'll be shipping shed loads. Absolutelly expecting us to finish higher than them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 We could easily play the 4-2-3-1 formation with HBA and KPB in the team. Guthrie and Barton are capable of playing some sumptuous balls forward and with quality like Ben Arfa, Boateng and Routledge further up field Carroll would get a bagful.
