Vargas with Austin, Taarabt just behind

[Nick]

I like that, Dave. But would worry about width. Three at the back and one up front?

Green
Caulker Onouha Hill
Isla Barton Sandro Yun
Mutch Taarabt
Vargas

Think Mutch needs a run out to see what he can do. Fer deserves to be benched.

Agree Mutch needs a run of games. Something tells me he could be a very exciting player running at defenders and not being shy to have a shot. Just needs the confidence that only game time will give him.

Yeah fair point, the fb's would have to supply width. Fer has been a disappointment ain't he.

Would do:

-------------------Green-------------------

Isla------Caulker--------Onuha----Traore

-----------------Sandro----------------------

Barton----------------------------Fer--------

-----------------Kranjcar---------------------

--------Vargas-------------Austin------------

Mutch has been partly injured this since joining so has never been able to give 100%. Fer has offered nothing so far and doesn't have an injury as an excuse, so yes, I would drop him.

Replace Austin with Vargas, why drop the top scorer? He needs support up front and preferably a bit more service from wingers and full backs crossing the ball.
I'd like to see Taarabt get a start (if he is fit), but also think that Krancjar doe not deserve to be dropped.

I'd go for
Green
Onuoha - Caulker - Dunne
Isla – Barton (if fit) – Sandro – Traore
Krancjar – Taarabt
Vargas (if Barton is unfit) - Austin

--------------Green---------------

Isla--- Caulker---Onouha --- Traore

--------Barton------ Sandro----------

---Kranjcar---Taraabt--- Vargas-----

---------------Austin--------

me thinks

[Marshy]

Kranjcar over Fer?

[Qprtanpa1]

I like everything above save for Isla. Can't we push Onouha to right back and start Hill? Isla very weak on the defensive end so far.

[Ginger Ninja]

--------------Green---------------

Isla--- Caulker---Onouha --- Traore

--------Barton------ Sandro----------

---Kranjcar---Taraabt--- Vargas-----

---------------Austin--------

me thinks

This one.

When you start throwing around starting 11 ideas you realize when everyone is fit we should have a good squad to select from and lots of midfield options! So far it certainly hasn't worked out for various reasons, let's hope Harry can get this sorted soon!

--------------Green---------------

Isla--- Caulker---Onouha --- Traore

--------Barton------ Sandro----------

---Kranjcar---Taraabt--- Vargas-----

---------------Austin--------

me thinks

Not bad, but I prefer Taarabt out wide rather than in the middle because he will put in good crosses but he won't make that killer pass and his shooting is poor. Perhaps reverse him and Kranjcar in your line up.

Nico and Adel would be interchangeable to supply the pacey Vargas and Austin . The weakest link would be Isla but with Barton going forward he may come into his own down the flanks.
