Disco Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Sels Anita - Lascelles - Mbemba - Clark Ritchie - Shelvey - Hayden - Ayoze Mitrovic - Gayle But I suspect Diame will play instead of 2 strikers and the new FBs will slowly edge out Vurn and whoever plays LB.

Skeletor Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Sels Yedlin/Gamez Lascelles Mbemba Lazaar Hayden Diame Richie Perez/Gayle Atsu Mitrovic Gayle is the difficult one to fit in. He's obviously scoring goals but I much prefer having a real target man up front like Mitrovic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Sels Anita Mbemba Lascelles Lazaar Ritchie Hayden Shelvey Perez Diamé Gayle Gone for Vurn at right back purely because I haven't seen much of Gamez or Yedlin. I haven't seen anything of Lazaar other than highlights but he can't possibly be worse at LB than Dummett. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 How can some be putting Lazaar,Yedlin etc Don't know the best 11 until we have at least 10 games behind them Personally chose Lazaar because I can't stand Dummett as a full back. If I'm not allowed Lazaar i'll have Massadio instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'm going with the round pegs in round holes approach: Sels Yedlin Mbemba Lascelles Lazaar Hayden Shelvey Ritchie Atsu Gayle Mitro In this division we should be playing with two strikers most of the time, no need for a number 10. I would like to get Diame in there too but in order to do that would mean we would have to revert to a 1 striker formation, swap Shelvey out for him or put a square peg in a round hole. The truth is (and this has been already clearly identified by Rafa), is that we need a fair amount of squad rotation considering the number of game we have, we'll also need to mix up the formations a bit. I think the current squad offers us the ability to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge me after 10 games and if they are still shit, then just judge me for more. Already deciding lazaar,yedlin,Atsu etc is our strongest best 11 before seeing them play makes total sense.👍 Might be total shit. Not even seen enough of Gamez, who could be brilliant. Murphy might end up being our best player, For fucks sake Elliott was our best player last season, and nobody has him in? Sels? So far looked average.

Shak Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think we'll see lots of rotation in the front four. The back four will be settled enough eventually and I reckon Hayden will start whenever he's fit with Shelvey, Colback and Anita fighting to partner him. Reckon Rafa wants Shelvey there as he's easily the best player of the three, but he seems the type who'll get lazy if he's gauranteed a starting place. Does seem like Rafa will play with two holding midfielders, especially now that we've signed a couple of attack minded full backs. I don't think Diame will be considered as a possible CM for that reason, he'll play as an AM or not at all I'd guess. After that we'll see lots of chopping and changing between Mitro, Gayle, Perez, Diame, Ritchie and Atsu. Lots of ways we can line up any combination of those four. Gayle and Mitro as a front two is something we might see a bit of, or Rafa can go with just one of them leading the line. Ritchie and Atsu can both play either side, I think Ritchie pretty much has the RW spot nailed down though and Atsu will be his backup there while also getting games on the left. The interesting thing for me is how we'll use Gayle and Perez. With a real attacking left fullback now on board I think Perez as a left sided inside forward might be the best option for him. I can see Gayle being played there too. Don't know why but I really think Mitro will start up top whenever he's fit and Gayle will end up playing either just off him or out on the left. Obviously he's shown so far this year that he can play up top alone and score goals but I do think the team would look better with a more typical target man type up there. All in all though I'm happy with us mixing and matching from those six. Murphy I believe is purely a Mitro backup. Gouffran I doubt gets many games either but he's not awful as a backup player. Aarons if he ever gets fit will probably get plenty of appearances of the bench but I doubt he starts many games unless we get badly hit with injuries. Feel good about the squad going forward, looking forward to seeing how Rafa manages it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

morla84 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Elliot was in the former of his life last season, but coming back from a serious knee injury at 30 I think he'll get limited games this season. I can't decide who to leave out of Shelvey Hayden Diame Gayle and Mitro. Not sure of fullbacks or left wing so I'd probably say: Home Sels Anita Lascelles Mbemba Lazaar Ritchie Shelvey Hayden Aarons/Perez Gayle Mitrovic Away Sels Anita Lascelles Mbemba Dummett Hayden Ritchie Shelvey Diame Perez/Aarons Gayle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Ritchie, Hayden, Sels and Gayle will if they're injury free Mbemba probably too He's away for a month isn't he? I think we'll see the odd game where him or Lascelles is rested anyway.
