Preferred Formation?

[bluegirl]

Depending on who's fit when but with everyone fit in an ideal situation I'd go with:

Howard
Coleman Jagielka Stones Baines
McCarthy Besic
Mirallas Barkley Naismith
Lukaku

4-2-3-1

If we had 3 decent centre-halfs, I think we could easily play 3-4-3 and make it work. 5-4-1 when we're defending, 3-3-1-3 when attacking.

If we had to start one team every week I'd go with a 4-2-3-1 of:

Howard
Coleman Stones Jagielka Baines
McCarthy Barry
Mirallas Barkley Pienaar
Lukaku

​

Having said that on current form you'd have to find a place for Naismith, and Barry will need replacing soon.

Besic starting already, and Naismith over Pienaar on the wing? Not sure about that.

Wouldn't put nais out wide personally, wasted there in my opinion.

In a team when everyone is fit. I'd start Besic yeah, And Naisy over a Pienaar as a tough one. Don't particularly like him on the wing but I think he deserves to be in the team at the moment.

I see your point. I'd Barkley over him in number 10 and think Naisy deserves to be in the team so would put him out there. I'd get the three of them and Rom to all switch throughout the game though

Based on what?

Based on Gareth Barry being in need of a breather and Besic must be desperate to start and perform well for his new club.

Reported.

Yeah but I don't think that was the point of the post.
