Would much prefer Yanga-Mbiwa at right-back and the Willicini partnership in the middle.

 

Against Norwich I'd be tempted not to play Colo, Elmander has given Colo nightmares a couple of times before. Including Colo getting rightly sent off for elbowing him.

Does Elmander actually start for Norwich? can't say i have seen them but was under the impression they pack the midfield and just play RVW upfront on his own.

 

Started 6 and 5 on as sub.....seems pretty much a regular player in the first team.

I'd go for this:

 

                              Krul

Santon.          Willo.        Mbiwa.      Haidara

                            Anita

HBA.                Sissoko.  Cabaye.      Gouffran

                                Remy

 

Tiote and Ameobi will obviously start though.

Why would you drop our captain tiote when he has argubably being our best player last few games

The only change should be at full back, with Santon moving over and Dummett or Haidara dropping in, I don't really mind which.

 

Barring further injuries, anything else would be mental.

 

I'd hardly call playing your captain and best centre-back mental mind. Williamson's not the answer and it's a bit harsh, but Colo back now with Mbiwa right-back, then Debuchy back with Mbiwa & Colo (ie, our best back four) is what we should be aiming for.

Mbiwa doesn't look like a full back to me. I'd agree with Dave, and shift Santon across and bring in Dummett.

 

We've just had two successive shut-outs against Chelsea and Spurs, so I can't see the case for major changes. It's not as though Colo has been pulling up trees this season.

Mbiwa and Colo will never be the answer, man. Accident waiting to happen playing them together.

I wouldn't call them an accident waiting to hsappen but they are too easily bossed against big "up an at em'" strikers. if elmander plays I would stick with williamson, adds a bit of "muscle" to the centre back pairing. He also shouldn't be dropped on current form, we always moan about managers playing their (or our) favourites, clear cut case of Willo and mapo playing well as a central pairing (not based upond individual skills).

Dummett is useless. League 1/SPL footballer.

Steady on. As per usual the praise on here for Dummett was incredibly OTT but that's incredibly harsh.

 

Not really. That's his level, he'll never be a Premier League regular. See Huntington, Edgar, Ramage, Kadar and Tavernier will be another.

Based on what, by the way?

 

When he played in Scotland he was just a bang average SPL player. Even at conference level for Gateshead he didn't really stand out from the rest, he just looked comfortable at that level - granted I only seen him for Gateshead 3/4 times. When he has played for us I think he has been awful - especially in the game he scored v Liverpool he was all over the place and he got really lucky that Sturridge wasn't on song.

 

I may be being slightly over critical but I don't think he's good enough for this level. He's 22 year old and has played for us in 3 league games, he'll be another in a long list of players who waste their time trying to get into a PL team instead of going out and getting himself a full time club. He'll still be here at 26/27 with about 25 appearances to his name.
