noone vicente navarro lua lua


mackail-smith barnes



always like a side with plenty of width,chose navarro over bridcutt because bridcutt plays a similiar role to vicente and vicente is obviously better at this

navarro can concentrate on the cleaning up and tackles in midfield,unsung hero if you like

Lua Lua is a luxury we can't afford to have at this level until he learns how to track back. CMS needs someone to work off and Barnes isn't strong enough imo.

LuaLua is too much of a luxury but we can play with only Bridcutt in mdifield?

Hmm. I see it as a bit of a diamond really with Bridcutt more as a holding midfielder. Buckley and Noone work hard enough to allow Vicente the free role which he needs. If it became too lightweight then i'd play Navaro instead of Hoskins and have Vicente as a 'second striker'. Does means CMS is largely on his own again though which isn't the best way to use him.

I don't mean to offend, but if you think bridcutt and vicente play similar roles then you need your eyes testing! Just no!

Noone and Buckley are totally attacking players though, they're not going to provide any sort of cover in midfield really.

For me we've got to play three in midfield, obviously Bridcutt and one of Dicker, Vincelot and Navarro with one more atacking player in front, most likely Vicente now rather than Harley (or Sparrow).

Like you say this can leave CMS a bit lonely but with any line up you're going to be slightly short somewhere especially on a pitch the size of ours, but we've been more or less doing this anyway with Barnes dropping deep and wide and it hasn't been a massive problem. So you'd have CMS and then two of the rest, Noone, Buckley, LuaLua, Barnes, Hoskins, supporting him. Or Vicente if you want a bit more conservative midfield.

Hoskins to partner CMS up front and not to spend the game defending, El Abd to provide the grit to help Bridcutt.

I know Vicente isn't in my starting line up, It's only because IMO not all the players are up to speed with him at the moment

I just attempted this, then realised we don't actually have a CM bar Bridcutt that I would want to play and had to abandon
I would want to keep Vicente on the left though.

With the lack of decent support for CMS at the mo. Will rely on the midfield getting up quickly for attacks. still no aerial threat though,

This is my line-up. Best we have from the players in the squad and I think we could achieve a top ten finish with that team.
