Strongest Eleven


Recommended Posts

Even if that were true, it's still one more good game than you've seen Gosling play in this League.  And that's ignoring the couple of good seasons that everyone's seen Barton play for Man City.

 

To automatically assume that Gosling is currently better than Barton based on what he might do later on in his career is ridiculous mate.

Different players. Gosling is a high energy box to box midfielder with a decent shot, whereas Barton looks for space and has a good range of passing. Personally I say the subtlety and invention of Barton’s passing is more important to the team.

 

Are you off your tits?

 

Has Gosling really done enough to justify a place ahead of Barton. Obviously we can only judge him on his time at Everton where he was played out of position on the right. He has a good engine and a decent shot but that's about it at the moment.

 

He wasn't played out of position. He doesn't currently have a position.

The OP.

 

Though I'd drop Nolan back in midfield against weaker teams at home when we could perhaps get away with it. Something like:

 

                            Harper

 

Perch.    Williamson.  Colo.    Enrique

 

                  Tiote.          Barton

                            Nolan

 

Ben Arfa                                        Jonas

                            Carroll

Surely it would depend on who and where we were playing?  ???

 

Against a mid-table side at home (the average) I'd go:

 

Krul

 

Perch (S. Taylor if he's here)

Williamson

Colo

Enrique

 

Routledge

Barton

Tiote

Gutierrez

 

Ben Arfa

 

Carroll

                                        Harper

 

Saylor             Williamson        Coloccini             Enrique

 

Routledge         Tiote                Barton                Jonas

 

                                   Ben Arfa

 

                                    Carroll

 

This could work for us, Nolan to come on 75 minutes in or so, we all know his fitness record so I suppose he could be effective for 15 minutes when he comes on to provide fresh legs.

Taylor  Campbell  Coloccini  Enrique

 

Routledge  Barton  Tiote  Jonas

 

Ben Arfa

My bet at a strongest 11. Purely guesswork since 3/11 haven't really played in this team.

With today's events, what would everyones first team be in the unlikely event that all players are fit:

 

                                  Krul

 

Perch.             Campbell.        Coloccini.             Enrique

 

Routledge.       Tiote.              Barton.                Jonas

 

                     Ben Arfa

 

                    

 

 

                       Carroll

 

 

 

 

Would agree with that :thup:

Wait a minute.

 

We haven't even seen Tiote play yet, and he walks into most people's strongest XI's?

Say him at the WC and smiths dogshit.

 

It's almost irrelevant what he was like in the WC.

Yeah but we've seen smith for years now and he's crap.

 

Was O.K. against Man Utd and quite brilliant against Villa, though.

Agreed. Our best player against Man Utd imo.

This.

 

EDIT: That's if it's Steven Taylor at right back, not Ryan Taylor.

Quite shocked that no one has picked Simpson! Im my opinion he was solid last year both offensively and defensively and I like his attitude. A bit similar to Perch as a fullback but in my eyes better in almost every apsects of the game!

 

Difficult to compare with S. Taylor since Taylor isnt a fullback and never will be...
