Strongest Starting 11

[GrandOldTeam]

Its the FA Cup Final.

We have a full strength side, all match fit (Including Yak)...

What would be your starting 11?

 

[micknick]

----------Howard

Neville Jagielka Lescott Baines

Ossie Arteta Fellaini Pienaar

----------Cahill

-----------Yak

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Howard.

Hibbert Jagielka Lescott Baines.

Gosling Neville Arteta Pienarr

Cahill

Yakubu.

I think thats our strongest knowing what we do of our players and how they play.

Of course several positions could easily be swaped, which is a good thing really.

-------------------------Howard-------------------------


Neville----------Jagielka----------Lescott----------Baines


------------------Fellaini-----------Arteta----------------


Saha----------------------Cahill-------------------Pienaar


--------------------------Yakubu-------------------------

 

[Gwladys Nights]

Howard

Hibbert Jagielka Lescott Baines

VDM Fellaini Arteta Cahill

Yakubu Jo

It's a noodle-scratcher actually. With everyone fit I don't think we can leave any of the above players out, but Cahill's no wide man and that midfield would lose it's shape without Neville.

No Neville? I think Pip provides excellent leadership and we would miss that.

Sorry, Neville in for Hibbert. I'll change it.

Arghghg decisions decisions...its all about the Right mid. Osman is [Poor language removed] there, but Arteta is better in the center. I would put Van Der Meyde, as i think it would be great, but id probably get abused...

...And to be honest, i think Arteta/Neville partnership is great. And i wouldnt replace Hibbert at the moment either.

True, I struggled to name a side.

I just couldn't drop one of Cahill or Fellaini, I couldn't choose. Hibbert was the easy target so I dropped him.

At the moment id drop Fellaini - based on his past few performances - but he has been injured, so i cant really comment.

I agree Hibbert is the easy target, even though defensively he has been superb...

I dont think the commentators would like Fellaini and Jo on the same pitch. Almost as bad as when we had Johnson/Carsley and Gravesen in the same team

Moyes is changing his ways, big hair is the new bald.

Moyes is changing his ways, big hair is the new bald.

Talking of Moyes...how great was his header today? Honestly, he wishes he was still on that pitch heading in some goals.

I couldnt tell you, there are players that must play, players that deserve to play and theres players that have been below par, but we lack options in some postions. So my side would contain these players, but god knows what formation they would play.

Howard
Hibbert
Jags
Lescott
Baines
Pienaar
Arteta
Cahill
Neville
Fellaini

And then it would be case of whoever could fit in.
