Today, probably drop Botman. Trippier and Hall into a back 4.

Keefaz Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Butt was really good for a season or two. Club captain. Sub in Barton...or Bruno if you don't mind cheating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, wasn't so long ago most people's back four would include Albert, Woodgate but fullbacks, or even more defenders, were a struggle (Santon, Beresford, Bernard, Debuchy etc.).

Let's also not forget his shit brother. The ignominy of shitness compounded by the fact we chased these useless fucks for years. I know exactly what you mean, my abiding memory of Luuk was being through on goal against the mackems at SJP and he hit the ball so tamely he may as well have tickled it with a feather. I toyed with including his sicknote brother, I'll never forget standing there with my jaw on the floor after he missed that sitter against Villa from about 3 yards So many more bums who I could've included purely for falling way short of expectations rather than just being flat out useless like the 11 I went for: Cabella, Thauvin, Butt, Duff, Geremi, Doumbia, Slimani, Kuqi, Clarke, Hendrick, Lewis, Joselu Then there's the shite from the Championship seasons who don't qualify for the PL XI: Harewood, Pancrate, Hanley Edited March 11 by Moose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Trippier - Woodgate - Botman - Hall Solano - Bruno - Batty - Robert Isak - Shearer Solano peddled for Beardsley to go 4-3-3. Isak axed for being a cunt. Beardsley in from the start. Shearer playing pre knee knack so it’s not as slow as it looks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
