alreadyexists Posted August 20, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20, 2017 It's a hard one to pick a best eleven, based on everything, I reckon this is it... Johnstone Bree. Chester Terry Taylor Whelan Elmo Hourihane Green Kodjia Davis subs: Steer, De Laet, Samba, Adomah, Jedi, Hogan, Grealish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't trim down the subs bench though. It was the same as your bench but I couldn't not have Onomah, O'Hare and Lansbury. On paper it's a nice problem to have.

I was also a bit dubious about adding subs as it is 'best eleven'... but I couldn't ignore the fact we need a subs bench! Onomah is great, so is Ohare and Lansbury is good, very hard to pick.

Grasshopper Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 my best 11 (+subs) would be Steer Bree Chester Terry Taylor Whelan Elmo Hourihane Green Kodjia Davis subs: SJ, De Laet, Samba, Adomah, Jedi, O'Hare & Hogan with Lansbury, McC and a few youngsters allowing for injuries & suspensions What bothers me is our defence is made up of the possibilities of replacing a suspended/Injured Chester or "resting Terry" with aging Samba &/or Jedi. LB - RDL for Taylor (????) Jedi as back up for another "oldie" Whelan. LW - Gaby for Green (??????????????) I see no plan B if Davis gets "wised-up" to. Unless Bruce reverts to sitting back, hoofing hoping Kodjia can make something from nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Spoiler I'd say our best 4-4-2 if all business is done Johnstone Bree - Terry - Chester - Taylor Whelan Onomah - Hourihane Adomah - Kodjia - Snodgrass Green, Jedinak, Lansbury, Steer, Davis, Hogan and O'Hare unlucky to miss out. Davis could be good enough but like Green, O'Hare and the rest of the youngsters they all need time and have a capable first choice in their position so a hit of bad form from the younger players learning their craft won't de-rail the season.

mikeyp102 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 With everyone fit and played correctly, it is very hard to limit to a strongest 11 as our squad is that strong. Id say strongest could be (backup in brackets), 4231/433 Johnstone (Steer) Bree (De Leat), Terry (Samba), Chester (Elphick), Taylor Onomah (Lansbury) Whelan (Jedinak) Adomah (Elmohadamy), Hourihane (Snodgrass/ O Hare), Green Kodjia (Davis/Hogan) For this level that is pretty awesome. No excuses for not going up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's played there most his career but he is stronger on his left foot. It worked well cos he could cut in and unleash some shots on goal or drilled crosses but I think the idea might be from Bruce to have a more balanced side, with Taylor, Hourihane and Snodgrass being on the left side of the pitch and left footed. Bree, Onomah and and Adomah on the right side and right footed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vreitti Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 There really isn't much point in trying to figure out the best eleven, as Bruce will undoubtedly be changing it from one week to another, no matter how many we did or didn't score with a given setup. If he could, he'd still be playing Bacuna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
