Starting 11 V Manchester City..Your Choices

[DouDou_87]

Definately want to see Bothroyd up top. He got alot of criticism from some fans after his first few games, some fair, the majority not. But he can be a very useful striker for us, his performance against Spurs should give him some confidence and hopefully we'll see the best from him this Saturday.

Paddy
young- gabbidon -ferdinhand -traorae
mackie- barton- faurlin- smith
helgusson- bothroyd
reasoning behind this team 2 front men to hold the ball up last thing we need to do is keep inviting City on to us they'll kill us if we do this, also think with mackie & smith would give the F/backs some protection. Sadly dont think Derry would be able to get near Silva? not that anyone has this year! put J.B on him and maybe bring on Adel us an impact sub if we are still in the game.

taarabt hasn't impacted that many games this season. the taarabt of last season was last seen at newcastle. an average game against chelsea, where like against spurs he gave the ball away too much. we need to keep the ball in the final third and that would be more likely if we have bothroyd playing.

[MattyRangers]

Agreed Pete although I might be tempted to swap HH for Bothroyd after his second half on Sunday.

I know this will sound negative, but seriously - is it going to make much difference?

First Half

____________Kenny____________
Young__Ferdy_____Gabby__Traore
____Derry___________Faurlin____
___________Barton___________
SWP___________________Mackie
___________Iceman__________

Second half

____________Kenny___________
Young__Ferdy_____Gabby__Traore
_SWP___Barton__Faurlin__Taarabt
______Bothroyd____Iceman_____

First half Derry and Mackie will be running all over the park fighting for every ball and will be knackered for the second half. I think Adel would be good as an impact sub. Just my opinion.

4-1-4-1 or 4-5-1, take your pick.

------------------ Kenny ------------------
- Young - Gabidon - Ferdinand - Traore -
------------------- Derry ------------------
--- SWP -- Barton -- Faurlin -- Mackie ---
----------------- Bothroyd -----------------

4-5-1 but id start HH as he's done really well in the last 2 games imo.

Don't think we've played Bothroyd on the right yet have we? I'd put him there as he got most of his goals from there last season.

What's this about having TWO players holding the ball up? I want forwards who score goals. And no SWP?

I disagree with this formation because it's playing two players, Bothroyd and SWP, out of position. We need to play our players at their best positions if we are to have any hope of getting anything from the game.

I'd play 4-4-2, and if we're getting overrun in midfield, then replace a striker with Derry. And I'd play Mackie instead of Adel.
