Back Four For The Derby

[SteKelly]

I agree. But you can't say it doesn't send a message out to fringe players which is really my original point.

Oviedo coming on LW is a pointless sub and I think we can all see that.

I'd like to see 5 at the back with Coleman and Baines as wing backs but we did look rusty last game when we used it. We need Distin simply because Sterling/Sturridge pace.

If Distin is still injured, then Alcaraz and Jagielka in CB. Wouldn't like to see Stones against Suarez, me.

Wouldn't like to see Sterling and Sturridge running with Alcaraz either haha

please get back distin

I can see us playing 3-5-1-1 against West Brom next week, then the same in the derby.

So Alcatraz, Jags and Distin back three for me, if all fit. Baines and Coleman wing backs.

Howard
Distin Jags Alcatraz
Coleman Barry McCarthy Piennar Baines
Barkley
Lukaku

Screw them...game to win on the 20th.

**** defence, lets go for it with:

Stones
Coleman Barry Baines
Mirallas Pienaar Barkley McCarthy Deulofeu
Lukaku Vellios

Keep it like we did in the first half vs Arsenal for the whole match and we'll bum them.

Stones in place of Howard is a bold move in a derby, mate.

Unless you meant Stones as a sweeper, in which case we're playing 12 men - which may be required.

Sterling is by and large, sh*te.

Think you're being harsh on Alcaraz.

 

[thirdmantackle]

Drop Coleman.

He's too good to play.
Rest our players for the big games coming up for the title push...

 

[Khalekan]

Baines will play, you don't leave out your best players in the derby.

Except Baines has been anything but one of our "best players" this season. He hasn't even been our best left back.

He has been average.

FWIW I would go with the best back four we have put out this season.

Seamus, Jags, Disdin and Oviedo baby.

That's good of you, nor do I.

What is "another one of these threads"? Have I upset you or something mate?

If I'm honest, and no offense mate, I think it's a stupid thread...just like a whole bunch of other threads started here that really, for me are a wind up.

If fit our back four is Coleman Jags Distin Baines

You think Roberto is stupid enough to start a back four, in an AWAY derby that has never played together? Really? Thank fook you're not our manager.

/close thread...it's DUMB

 

[jrj]

Baines should and will play if fit, as he is the best left back in the world.
I do think that Oviedo has been better attacking wise when hes played this season though
