Your starting XI - August 5th

Recommended Posts

Seeing as there seems to be a lot of discussion in player threads, thought it would be interesting to see what everyone's starting XI will be for the game against Hull.

I'd go with a 4-2-3-1 (based on players being fit)

-----------------------------Kodjia-------------------------------
Grealish---------------Hourihane---------------------Green
-------------------Lansbury-------Jedinak---------------------
Taylor--------------Terry-------Chester-----------------Bree
--------------------------Johnstone------------------------------

Difficult isn't it...

If Kodjia isn't fit I would go:

               Hogan  McCormack 

Green   Lansbury   Veretout   Adomah

Taylor      Chester      Terry      Hutton

                   Johnstone

 

We would then have the likes of grealish, Hourihane, RHM that could be brought on from the bench.

If Kodjia isn't 100% I would not want to risk him and same for Jedinak.

                    Johnstone

           Chester  Terry  Baker

Adomah Hourihane Jedinak Taylor

                       Lansbury

                 Hogan    Kodjia

Change McCormack for Kodjia if he is injured still. If Jedinak is injured, drop Lansbury back there and put Thor behind the strikers.

We have pace (green hogan)  trickery (Kodjia and Green).. good set pieces (hourihane).. good defence (back four).. good protection of the defence (Jedinak) and a link man from defence to attack (veretout)

 

Bring on Hull City!!

So, that's... no goalie, Hogan and Kodjia as fullbacks, McCormack as the holding midfielder, Hourihane, Veretout and Lansbury across the middle, Bree and Taylor on the wings, and Chester and Terry playing behind Johnstone as a lone striker? 

Oh, wait... 

Attacking the Witton End, first half.

Hard to fault almost any of these.

Wouldnt want Hutton.

Everyone had at least 5 players capable of threatening the opposition.....the key thing for me will be WHICHEVER of these ideas gets the nod, those 5 HAVE to have licence to take the game to the opposition.

Whichever combination I've seen here it looks good if we have the right approach.

Exactly this , play far more on the front foot and to these players strengths - far too much caution last season.
