Who will play on the left vs Watford?

[meagher94]

I think it'll be:

Howard
Baines Stones Jagielka Coleman
Barkley McCarthy
Mirallas Osman Cleverley
Lukaku​

 

[Alex17]

Dowell

 

[ijjysmith]

Dowell

Doubt it.

 

[Furey1878]

Barkley probably.

It really won't be, mate.

I'd be very surprised if two wingers play. I'd guess at Cleverley.

The left position in his tactics is not supposed to be a winger, so it´s a moot point stating that suchandsuch player is not a winger. Osman or whoever is not supposed to be playing as a winger out on the left. Possibly the most annoying complaint of last season from the fans.

I wouldn´t want any two of our wingers starting any more than a handful of games because we would lose possession constantly when they consistently dribble and lose the ball, or take the wrong or selfish option. Thats true of the three wingers we have and Lennon were he to come back.

It needs a balance. Unfortunately, pending a new signing Osman would be the best option to give that balance. What he lacks in being weak and getting dispossessed on occasions he gives back in basically making our attacks flow better and making the tactics work better overall.

i think the playmaker type that we are supposedly looking for should be somebody for this exact position...a Silva or Mata type...but if I remember right Bobby has described a different type of player...

Watford game starting 11:
Howard, Coleman, Stones, Jags, Baines, Barry, McCarthy, Ross, Kev, Tom, Rom.

If all fit. 4-2-3-1.
A boring 4-1 home win.

who will play centre forward if Lukarku is injured?

 

[ijjysmith]

who will play centre forward if Lukarku is injured?

I can't bring myself to say his name

 

[Coffee and TV]

I think we'll play 4-3-3, Cleverley and Barkley will play in midfield

 

[DualityNSNO]

Two wingers? you must not have been watching us over the last year...

Did we even have 2 wingers in the past year?

 

[DualityNSNO]

I can't bring myself to say his name

Chris Long....

Oh wait.

I think it'll be:

Howard
Baines Stones Jagielka Coleman
Barkley McCarthy
Mirallas Osman Cleverley
Lukaku​

I like how you've mixed it up there. Baines at right back and Coleman on the left. They'll never expect that one.

I would genuinely prefer to have Naismith or Mirallas as our lone centre forward rather than Demolition Man (aka Kone).

 

[Tez]

I expect Cleverley to start but in a central role, Osman will be on the left.
