Delphinho123 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thoughts on the starting XI vs West Ham? Obviously our transfer activity isn't quite finished yet...but as things stand, Id go with.... -----------------------Bent---------------------------- Holman--------------Ireland-----------------Z'Zogbia -------------Bannan-----------KEA--------------------- Lichaj------------Clark--------Vlaar------------Lawton -----------------------Given-------------------------- I think if we can add a new LB and a new Winger to that team then things will look good for the season ahead.

8pints Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Z'Zogbia is his nickname. It crazy-cool-dench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think Bannan will have a good season under Lambert so I hope he gets a decent run of games. -----------------------Bent---------------------------- Holman--------------Ireland-----------------N'Zogbia -------------Bannan-----------KEA--------------------- Lichaj----------Clark--------Vlaar------------Herd--- -----------------------Given-------------------------- Not the greatest squad to be honest. We need a winger and a fullback asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I can certainly see Bannan getting in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 What makes people think that Lambert will play one upfront against West Ham when we have been playing 4-4-2 in pre season? If he was planning on going with one upfront then surely he would have experimented with it more by now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think the OP is the closest so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOTTI-THE-GOD Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Personally i reckon it will look something more like this ------------Given Lowton-Vlaar-Clarke-Lichaj --- KEA-Bannan-Holman ---Ireland-Bent-Nzogbia I think we'll play a 4-3-3 system .

El-Reacho Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Haven't all of our pre-season games been 442 with a narrow midfield diamond and two strikers? -----------Given------------ Lowton Clark Vlaar Lichaj ------------KEA------------- -----Ireland---Delph------- ---------Holman------------ -----Zog-------Bent-------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Given Lowton - Vlaar - Clark - Warnock Bannan - KEA Homan - Ireland Bent - Delfounso This isn't what I would do (warnock would be out), but based on players we have in so far, feel this is how PL will go. When we have possession from a Goal Kick, ball played short to CB's, Bannan and KEA will drop deep to pick up possession, Holman or Ireland will pull wide with the opposite full back pushing on.

limvillian Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Team still looks distinctly average, we need a fullback a striker a winger and a CM . Delphi should not be near a premier league side at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Agree with above. That team has relegation written all over it. We need quality signings not the cheap unproven players we've been signing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigy1874 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I think the back line of Lichaj, Clark, Vlaar and Lowton looks very inexperienced and that worries me greatly. For that reason you have to bring Warnock into left back and, perhaps, start Lichaj at right back instead of Lowton. Would rather have started the season with Dunne and Vlaar being our centre-half pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Given Lichaj - Vlaar - Clark - Warnock KEA - Bannan N'Zogbia - Ireland - Holman Bent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Agree with above. That team has relegation written all over it. Give it a rest. I'll bet you £50, here and now, that we won't be relegated. Proceeds to VT as ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycVILLA Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 As patrickc suggests but I'd go 4-4-1-1 Given Lichaj - Vlaar - Clark - Warnock N'Zogbia - Bannan - KEA - Holman Ireland Bent So we aren't over run in Midfield, it is Sam's West Ham though.... So maybe 4 2 4 isn't a bad idea... Could 4-3-2 (Zog wide free role, Ireland middle) 1 work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
