Not as far as I know, but that's the beauty of negative statements thrown around in weird corners of the internet, It's kind of mix and match and you can use them over and over and over again To be honest it was generally inspired by the Elmohamady thread which goes from WTF? to YAY! in about 15 pages. Although I though "Old Racist" was one of the more obvious ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollini Hutton Baker Elphick Cissokho Bacuna Westwood Garnder Ayew Gested McCormack It may not seem like we have made much progress in the last year but just look at the state of that team Bloody hell thats an eye opener. And to think we expected promotion!! To be fair signings were still coming in but the fact the season had already started shows we were always playing catchup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is one of our best 11 players then expect a very hard season. He has potential to be decent, but then so have so many of our youth graduates: Delfouneso, Gardener, Bannan etc.... Weather Green goes the same way remains to be seen but he is nowhere near being good enough to consistently start for a team aiming to finish in the top 6. this might be true, but he is showing a lot of promise as of late and is doing enough to compete for a place in the starting eleven imo. I don't think he will be consistent enough to do it over a full season, but if he is proving himself to be more of an asset on the wing he deserves selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really shows how far we have fallen when you look at our supposed "best" 11 and it looks like that. Oh for the days of Young, Barry and Mellberg.

TheMightyVillans Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 With the current injury situation id go with Johnstone Bree Terry Chester Taylor Whelan Lansbury Hourihane Elmo Green Hogan We really are lucky to have a CB pairing of terry and chester in the championship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I'd go Johnstone Bree Chester Terry Taylor Whelan Hourihane Elmo Grealish Green Hogan This would be what I'd start v Watford. I wouldn't want Hutton any where near our starting 11. At home I want us to attack so don't want a DM like Jedi. It's a toss up between Lansbury and Hourihane. Injuries affected the rest but it'll change as season goes on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be my line-up opening day too. DeLaet, Amavi, Baker, Bacuna, Gardner, Doyle-Hayes, Grealish, Thor, Gabby, KD can all battle for the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJT123 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Our squad really is very good isn't it? I have no idea what our best XI is. Big decisions to be made, but good decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
