romavillan Posted September 6, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 6, 2014 My strongest side (before injury returns) would be something like: Guzan Hutton Vlaar Senderos Cissokho Westwood Sanchez Cleverley Delph Gabby Weimann It's a shame to leave Richardson, and to a certain extent N'Zog on the bench after positive starts but I think that's the strongest we can field at the moment. diamond then in midfield? Lambert was certainly looking to play that when he first got the job, maybe he'll give it another crack. would require sanchez to cover when the full backs are up the pitch as otherwise we'd have no width.

Lambert was certainly looking to play that when he first got the job, maybe he'll give it another crack. would require sanchez to cover when the full backs are up the pitch as otherwise we'd have no width. Judging by the signings of Sanchez and Cleverley it certainly seems that's what will happen, unless we're going to play a 5man midfield, with Sanchez as DM still and the wingbacks giving us width, and cleverly/N'Zog(?) in a AM role, and then just have Bentekkers up on his own once fit. He's more than capable, but against the weaker sides it would be nice to see us play more attacking with two strikers. Something that stands out to me at the moment is that most people are picking the same back four (where as last year it was difficult to pick) and we're finding it hard to pick a midfield without leaving someone out who would have walked in last year. Positive stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Cleverley though IMO, I'm surprised not to see Richardson in any of these teams. Not quite the same "name" I guess, but I think he's been well smart for us so far. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamsonwoodVillan Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Guzan Hutton Vlaar Senderos Cissokho N'Zogbia Sanchez Delph Richardson Benteke Kozak Maybe Weimann or Gabby in place of Kozak if that partnership didn't work. It's just great to have good players now that are not guaranteed starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 For me, it's gotta now be this: Guzan Hutton, Vlaar, Senderos, Cissokho Sanchez Delph, Cleverly Gabby, Weimann, Grealish I'd swap the weakest of the front three for Benteke when he's back to form.

On what basis would you drop Westwood and Richardson to bring in Cleverley and The Rock. ? What have Cleverley and The Rock done to impress you enough to drop two of our best players so far this season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 7, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2014 Most of us probably haven't seen more than about 3 games worth of Sanchez, for most of which I'd wager we weren't really paying attention to him. So I'm not sure why he's making so many "strongest lineups" He might be in our strongest line up eventually, and I hope he is because that means we're improving. But he's got to prove himself first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted September 7, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 7, 2014 If it's based on what we've seen so far, I'd give that a crack. Bench: Given, Gabby, Sanchez, Cleverly, Clark, Bacuna, Cole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bench: Given, Gabby, Sanchez, Cleverly, Clark, Bacuna, Cole Agbonlahor in for grealish, Cleverley for Richardson. That's how I would play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentMajority Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 For me... Guzan Hutton, Vlaar, Senderos, Cissokho Westwood Gabby, Delph, Cleverly,Richardson Weimann Bench: Given, nZog, Sanchez, Grealish, Clark, Bacuna, Bent. I think Richardson should start... Grealish/nZog can replace him when he starts to flag (65th min). Tekkers to replace Weimann when fit.... feed the beast! I know its been said before... but its a nice feeling having to decide what 'good' players should be left out instead of which crap players need to pad out the starting line up!

KJT123 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah I'm not so sure about Richardson at the moment. I don't think he's played that well, to me he looks like another Holman, lots of hard work but lacks in quality(many times he's had a pass on and he's just kicked it straight out of play). I also thought he would be a bit quicker than he is, he's looked a bit sluggish so far IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 i see Richardson as a good squad player myself. Not a starter in our strongest line-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 As the season progresses it will all become clearer, based on consistency. What the strongest line up will be......as for now it's all conjecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
