VT Supporter fightoffyour Posted February 1, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2013 Can you confirm this, CI? No, because it's a load of rubbish. "The Scot also confirmed that the club’s medical staff will monitor experienced defender Richard Dunne after he suffered a setback in training last week. He added: “We’re still assessing that and seeing how that is. He’s not trained since last Friday.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT Supporter fightoffyour Posted February 1, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2013 I am massively surprised by the amount of people who want to make sweeping changes from the team that finished the Newcastle game. Anyone who actually saw that match surely wouldn't leave Weimann or Agbonlahor on the bench? Not Weimann, no, who should start every game with Benteke. I'd be happy with Gabby or Dawkins on one side and Zog on the other. I think Dawkins would add a suprise element and bringing on Gabby 2nd half or later is effective with his pace.

flamingsombrero Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Dunne hasnt trained since last Friday. Lambert in the presser. --------------------------Guzan------------------------- Lowton---------Vlaar----------Clark----------Baker ---------------------------Sylla-------------------------- ----------El Ahmadi--------------Westwood--------- Nzogbia----------------------------------Agbonlahor -----------------------Benteke------------------------- Wiemann Bent Dawkins can come off the bench for spark. Think the only thing I would do different is swap Wiemann for Nzogbia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 This has been one of the most annoying things this season. We do lack experience on the pitch but people have constantly been saying things like "Given should replace Guzan because he's more experienced" despite the fact that Guzan has been far better and if you actually watch them two play Given is the one that performs like an inexperienced player, not Guzan. Take away your knowledge of their experience for a moment and compare the two players' performances this season. Who would you play? Let me ask you a question. Which team has the worst defensive unit in the league ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Not Weimann, no, who should start every game with Benteke. I'd be happy with Gabby or Dawkins on one side and Zog on the other. I think Dawkins would add a suprise element and bringing on Gabby 2nd half or later is effective with his pace. In my opinion; the only crumb of confidence that the squad could possibly have would be coming from their second half performance against Newcastle. Changing the personnel and formation would undo all of that in one go. It should be Guzan Lowton Vlaar Clark Baker Westwood Bannan (or Sylla at a push) Zog Weimann Benteke Agbonlahor. Call it whatever formation you like, but anything else would be unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT Supporter fightoffyour Posted February 1, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Okay, but in the 2nd half we essentially didn't have to defend, so playing Bannan was fine, but starting a game we will need that DM we've been crying out for and so Sylla must start. If you go with that and Gabby/Dawkins are interchangeable like I said then we are in agreement . In fact I doubt Dawkins would start this one anyway.

Daweii Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Might we play 4-4-2 with Dawkins on the left and N'Zogbia on the right with both given free reign to cut inside onto their stronger foot to shoot and whip balls in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Gabby and Weimann pushing up a bit. Needs to be this. If we go 3 at the back again I will cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Lowton, Vlaar, Clark and Baker is the defence I'd opt with too, with Sylla in front of them alongside Westwood. Have Sylla doing the defensive work and Westwood spraying the ball left, right and centre to Gabby, Weimann and N'Zogbia respectively, and Benteke further up. Hopefully our midfield won't get so easily destroyed if Sylla has the balls and skill to match his stature, also no Bannan would mean less Hollywood passes.
