Strongest Team

[SE.Blue]

Your point being?

i think it is because most people think he is crap mate. and i would have to agree with them. b)

i`m surprised there are so many people who left jagielka out their teams. i agree with them, but going by some other forums you would think jagielka was the new kevin ratcliffe.

Most people think Hibbert's crap?

Really?

Funny as most people rate him as a better defender than Neville.

Sure he's crap going forward.

But then again, so is Neville. And since Hibbert can actually defend better than Neville can, it's kind of a no-brainer. Don't you think?

Hibbert's marked people out of matches. That's something I've never seen Neville do.

sorry mate, i dont rate him, i think neville is a superior all round full back.

i love tony because i know he is a true blue, but when i take my blue glasses off i realise he is a championship player.

No problem there then.

I just prefer Hibbert when needing to shut down an opposing teams danger man.

I remember the fits that Hibbert gave Petrov last year. I don't recall Neville ever doing that to his man.

In my opinion, Neville's easier to get around than Hibbert if you're an opposing winger.

Howard

Neville Jagielka Yobo Lescott

Castillo

Arteta Fellaini Pienaar

Cahill

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

I can't say i've ever seen Castillo for 90 minutes but i'm sure he's a better player then Phillip Neville in the defensive midfield role.

Spot on.

The problem with Neville is he doesn't let wingers get anywhere near him, he backs off until there in the penality area, that is bad defending. You either jockey them onto there weaker foot and cut the space off or you dive in and win the tackle.

Hibbert has never been given a chace in our best eleven, when our midfield infront of him is at full strength. When he does play at right back he always had the Carsley-Neville combination which as we know weakens the team.

I have never seen him at all but cant see him being worse than Phil

You know whats the best thing, the fact that when every1 is fit we have so many options, all over the pitch, thats the thing that makes me happiest, granted some postions we have limited players for, both wings springs to mind, but we still have a few players that can play in those postions, we have players for all formations, we have cover.

Its a long season, but i feel that even if we dont add in January, we should be ok, unless we get a break out of broken legs! Fingers crossed.

My strongest team would be :

GK Howard
RB Neville
LB Baines
CB Yobo
CB Lescott
DM Castillo
CM Fellaini
CM Cahill
RM Arteta
LM Pienaar
ST Yak

Fellaini and Castillo would both kinda play DM with them interlinking when 1 goes up, the other stays back, Cahill would play mostly as an AM, but would also drop back into the middle when needed.

This is easy, whens FM09 out?

 

[Bainsey]

I'd like to see what Jacobsen is like, in comparison to neville anyway.

Yes me to, thats possibly the only reason he isnt in atm. I havent seen him play so would be unfair to judge him "better" without seeing.

 

[Cal]

He'll be better then Hibbert surely, it's not exactly hard mind. I'd rate myself better then Hibbert.

 

[mac123]

things are definatley looking up....the international break has came at a good time too - may give a few players a chance to get over injuries.

agree jags should be in centre of defence with lescott lb. i dont rate baines at all. roll on the stoke!!!

 

[HalewoodBlue]

Am I the only one to notice this??? Halewood puts Jags in his team!

Are you feeling ok mate?

Been said by others mate, i dont like Baines so Lescott has to play there (That and the fack JL is a much better left back) and we havent got another centre half so Jags has to play there. Buy another centre half and he will be replaced in my team

You would be wrong
