You need 7.

[Happy Exile]

I think Sanchez would probably be quite tasty in a fight. He'd be very languidly calm about taking you apart at the kneecaps while you weren't looking.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Well being Italian they would all also carry flick knives so I wouldn't want to face them.

Don't underestimate Andrew Crofts. He's a tough cookie.

Veltman would break your legs, then give you a hand up. Smoothing down his hair and smiling innocently

 

[jackanada]

picking seven I'm going for Sanchez Dunk and Webster as the big units charging in, Veltman and Gross following with some clinical malevolence, Caicedo dealing with anyone trying to get behind and MacAllister roaming as needed.

If I'm picking an eighth Enciso is finishing off anyone half down.

 

[Stat Brother]

Scored the game winning goal.


Or.


Thrown a sack of kittens into a river.






You decide.

One slight problem going forward.


At some point Mitoma has got to front up to this little ray of sunshine.
All of a sudden I'm rather pleased the German selectors don't know shite about football.

I've just listened to The Tuesday Club podcast (Alan Davies, Arsenal).
Anyway Tony Adams philosophy, as he told it to AD was:-

A teams not a team until you have at least 7.

The 7 in question, are not English, drinkers, gamblers, jailbirds, centre backs, or anything else you'd associate with TA. But what Gary Hart alluded to on Roar.

A teams not a team until you have at least 7 players prepared to fight the opposition in the tunnel.

So who were the other 5 from our starters, last season?

That sounds just like a philosophy Micky Adams would have drilled into his players.

Sorry, only ten years late in replying to the post.

It does hold up.
You only have to dig deep into this thread to find our weakest 7 coincides with Sami's hiding to nothing.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Big Bob
Hurst's finest
West Wittering's finest
Velts
Pascal
.Estupiñán
.Caicedo
.AliMac (ie the boys)

Sorted

Veltman first up - the silent assassin would take out their Top Boy without anyone noticing.

Ref would no doubt wave play on as he was writhing on the ground.

Yep. While Velts strolls upfield angelically. Adjusting his lovely hair

While taking great delight in rewatching the game it's occuring to me:-

We're a team full of shitehouses.

I'm yet to see an Albion player miss a tactical foul, not kick the ball away, draw a foul, sneak an elbow to the head.

A tremendous effort by all concerned...





...and Veltman hasn't even come on yet.

We have Solly taking out breaking midfielders and Lewis in the ref's ear. At last

 

[Farehamseagull]

We just needed an Italian manager! 4 months and look what he’s made us!

 

[Stat Brother]

The big dog has just come on.

Gonna start watching in slo-mo to see if I can spot the exact moment the child Doak shat himself.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Evan for the 7 without question imo

Sit down young Evan, Big Bob, Velts, Dunk, Webster, Pervs, Caicedo, and Alimac will take care of it.

Your time will come

Hmmmm, somewhat of a superfluous bounce - so the post counters can furiously masturbate over this one!

But nevertheless this thread has been posted in the wake of the last 20 windows slamming shut with one simple question:-

Where are we now?

THIS.

 

[Stat Brother]

I only counted 6 (six) poor form.



Steele was slow off his line.
Enciso pushing for a start next season.
I'm sure Groß was gutted to have missed it.

Veltman cursing his luck. He would've known what to do
