Stifler Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Harper Perch Williamson Colo\Sol Enrique Tiote Routledge Jonas Barton Arfa Carroll I'd be confident of staying up with this team. It won't happen though, Nolan is captain, I think Barton will be swapped for Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Who was captain last season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Arfa can not be a first choice right away him and Tiote needs a month at least to settle down. Beside I would suspect Jonas will be in RW and Arfa to LW. I can not see Chris drop Nolan so when you guys write here don't right what you feel right what the current situation is. So... Harper Perch William colo/campbell Enrique Guti Tiote Barton Ben Arfa Nolan Carroll Spot on the only change to that I would make is Williamson/ Sol.... I don't think he can drop Colo. Well if Perch starts looking out of his depth i'd play Williamson at right back. No- He's our best CB Behave, he's good but he's not better than Colo.

Decky Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Id be afraid to play Ben Arfa off Carroll. It would probably be his best position but it would mean Nolan goes into CM, meaing Tiote or Barton gets dropped. I would drop Jonas for him. I think Routledge is a better finisher and crosser of the ball. I would probably start: Harper Perch Campbell Colo Enrique Routledge Tiote Barton Ben Arfa Nolan Carroll Subs: Krul, R.Taylor, Jonas, Ameobi, Williamson, Smith, Guthrie. We're starting to look good though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Ben Arfa can't be being brought in to replace Routledge - he only signed Routledge in January man Depth for either wing, Ben Arfa can play all across the park, Jonas too. So we should be relatively covered, not least now we know Danger can play on the right wing! Could play Wayne down the middle too.. or shock horror interchange during the game! I wonder what would happen if we put Ben Arfa on the wing, and Jonas in the centre?, Jonas just can't cross a ball but he could be very effective in the centre where as far as I've seen Ben Arfa can actually out a decent ball in.

toontownman Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Harper Perch Williamson Colo\Sol Enrique Tiote Routledge Jonas Barton Arfa Carroll I'd be confident of staying up with this team. It won't happen though, Nolan is captain, I think Barton will be swapped for Nolan. Nah.. depends on the opposition. Hughton was content to keep club captain Nicky Butt out of the picture. If he is on form Barton will be picked ahead. I'd expect Nolan to be interchanged with Ben Arfa depending on how physical the game is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 It's good we have choice for these areas, so when injuries and suspensions do set in we will have good cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Got to keep Jonas and Enrique together on the left, they work together well and have that good understanding. Jonas tracks back which is vital too and I can't see Ben Arfa wanting to do too much of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 for me it would be: -------------Krul------------- Perch---Willy---Colo---Enrique Rout---Barton---Tiote---Jonas -------------Arfa--------- ------------------Carrol--------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Harper Perch Williamson Colo\Sol Enrique Tiote Routledge Jonas Barton Arfa Carroll I'd be confident of staying up with this team. Shows how times have changed. I think if we had a line-up on par with that in the pre-relegation days, before we were all brought down to Earth with an almighty bang, we'd probably be hoping for a top 8 finish.

Guest geordienorway Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 There is a long season ahead, and the injuries will come. Nolan, Barton, Ben Arfa, Jonas and Routledge will all play regularly, and it is great to have some depth for once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried him there once I think, dont remember him being special or disgracing himself. Like him better on the wing though. No idea why he doesnt seem to have the confidence to shoot when he gets in decent positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Can we get him first people. There is nothing stopping Werder offering him 70k a week tonight as a last gasp attempt. We've been here before with Modric Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewellander Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 It's good we have choice for these areas, so when injuries and suspensions do set in we will have good cover. This. With Tiote and Ben Arfa we have the luxury (when everyone is fit) of having options, which is a massive thing for us. When Gossling gets fit in January, all the better. If we had another LB and possibly another striker of some quality, I think we'd be sitting quite comfortably in mid table. If Ben Arfa and Tiote are both announced tomorrow, it'll be like Christmas.

ponsaelius Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 The team that went down at Villa: Harper Coloccini Taylor Edgar Nolan Duff Butt Guthrie Viduka Løvenkrands Martins Vs Harper Perch Coloccini Williamson Enrique Jonas Barton Tiote Routledge Ben Arfa Carroll The second one is not only a much better team, it's arguably better man for man aswell.

No idea why he doesnt seem to have the confidence to shoot when he gets in decent positions. Against Man Utd and Aston Villa he came inside a lot more, even crossing the pitch at some points and this dragged defenders away from other players and allowed us to play someone in. We ddin't manage to finish the moves in the Man Utd game but against others I can see it working well. For this reason I would go with this: Harper Perch Williamson Colo Jose Routledge Tiote/Barton Nolan/Guthrie Jonas Ben Arfa Carrol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
