Recommended Posts

                                Krul                   

                Williamson          Coloccini

Janmaat                                              Haidara

                  Ti :anguish: te        C :anguish: lback

Sissoko                                                Cabella

                      de Jong

                                      Riviere

 

 

 

That's the nailed on lineup for me, barring injuries.

Would like to see:

--------------------Krul-------------------------

Janmaat-----Willo--------Colo---------Haidara

------------Sissoko------Tiote---------------

--Cabella---------De Jong---------Aarons--

---------------Riviere-------------------

 

If he's going for offensive then that's it for me. Tiote as the shield in front of defence and sissoko challenging for any ariel stuff through middle and giving us some surging power through middle. Aaarons merits a place on the wing even if it's an impact sub for Gouffran... Would be nice to see some real positive thinking...

I still retain some hope that Colback gets injured before start of season to allow Anita to slot in.

Centre midfield can barely pass a ball, I don't think we can afford having both of them in there and Tiote is better at that defensive role, need Anita's passing

Would rather have Tiote and sissoko in the middle, we need some fire and some ariel ability in there, hated seeing anita and tiote get humiliated on high balls last season

 

Sissoko has as much aerial ability as an emu.

Based on pre-season form/game time that should be the lineup with the exception of Anita who will almost certainly be on the bench with Colback starting. Still not a bad team really as Man City will need that extra bite in midfield although personally I would rather see Sissoko over Anita or Colback in that role as he is better bursting forwards when play allows.

Whats the deal with Tiote? Far from guaranteed to start given the lack of minutes so far. A no show on Sunday and he probably wont be available for the City game.

My preferred line up atm. (a fit and wanted ben arfa would naturally be in there. Maybe cisse too)

 

                        krul

 

Janmaat  Yanga    Colo    Santon

 

              Tiote      Anita

 

Sissoko        De Jong      Cabella

 

              Riviere or Ferreyra

I would quite like to see this team. It has a good balance. Aarons, Colback and Ferreya i'd like to see more of from the bench. Colback central and Sissoko wide might work ….but i like the thought of Sissoko's strength and drives from central midfield.

 

                         

                            Krul

 

Janmaat Williamson  Taylor    Dummett

                             

                Tiote        Sissoko

Gouffran                                      Cabella

                              De Jong

                  Riviere

 

Elliott

Colo

Mbwiba

Haidara/Anita

Colback

Aarons

Ferreya

This Tiote protecting the defence stuff doesn't really work though, does it?  We've had him 'protecting the defence' for  couple of seasons and have shipped goals left and right.  Chuck Anita in there instead and see if maybe keeping the ball and troubling the opposition might be better than picking up yellows and hoofing into the gallowgate at every opportunity.

Santon

 

Why him?

 

I might have missed something regarding Santon. But i still see him as our best LB option. Still plenty of room for developing further...

 

You prefer dummet, haidara or Ryan T.?

I know he is out for injury quite a lot of times, but when Santon is fit, he must be the starting LB.

 

It depends, if Haidara performs well for the first few games he should keep his spot imo. Santon hasnt made that position his own after three seasons.

Strongest first XI in my opinion if all fit.
