Your 'As we stand' Starting XI thread

[Telford-Feb-85]

If its that easy to pick then our squad isn't good enough yet.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

They are, I just found your opinion “middle finger” worthy

Rude twice. Nice

 

[nsno-chris]

Rude twice. Nice

I was tempted to go for a third time, but I’ll be the bigger man

 

[dano195]

I would play Walcott over Bernard with Rich on the Left

Cracking banter here.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Noting all this down lids.
Err....what formation like? Asking for a friend.

 

[ijjysmith]

I’d be very surprised if anyone gives a different answer to that mate

Pickford

Zanetti
Mina
Mountfield
Baines

Gana
Reid
Pembridge

Deulofeu
Diego Costa
Quaresma

Goodnight.

 

[FTY]

Pickford

Zanetti
Mina
Mountfield
Baines

Gana
Reid
Pembridge

Deulofeu
Diego Costa
Quaresma

Goodnight.

As predicted, I am VERY surprised

 

[Kiwi]

Due to fitness and integration:

Pickford
Coleman Mina Keane Digne
Gomes Davies
Richarlison Siggurdsson Bernard
DCL


Lossl
Holgate
Gbamin
Walcott
Kean

If Delph is fit will likely play ahead of Davies or make the bench

 

[buskwhi2]

Strong 1st 11 but it’s clear we still need 5/6 top players to help us compete at the top. Hopefully another couple of them will come in this week.

 

[Sharpies volley]

I think Palace might be a bit early to start Kean. I'd personally start with DCL up top and then bring Kean on at the hour mark to terrorise the tiring Palace back line

Ditto for Gbamin, I wouldn't throw him right in, I'd let him get some minutes off the bench as well

Therefore I'd go

Bernard, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison
Siggurdsson
Gomes, Schneiderlin
Digne, Mina, Keane, Coleman
Pickford

With a bench of
Lossl, Holgate, Baines, Gbamin, Davies, Walcott, Kean

I wouldn't put Walcott on the bench mate. In fact I wouldn't let him mind the coats.

 

[RJBOfficial]

They are, I just found your opinion “middle finger” worthy

Walcott is pretty awful and yet he still has 5 times as many goals as Bernard, make of that what you will

 

[upthetoffees]

That team with subs of Schneiderlin, DCL, Delph, Walcott, Holgate, Davies, Lossl and Baines.

The rest, I'd be happy to see sold.

You want us to have a 19 man roster?

 

[Yarrgh]

Lossl
Mirallas Holgate Yano Cuco
Walcott Morgs Tom Henry-with-a-false-moustache-to-avoid-work-permit-issues
Niasse Tosun

That'd be one awful team. I feel bad for putting Davies and Holgate in it. Maybe Lossl is unfair.

Probably struggle to get 8th.

 

[LEONARD]

Aside from the newbies, I will interested to see how Mina performs this season.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Pickford

Zanetti
Mina
Mountfield
Baines

Gana
Reid
Pembridge

Deulofeu
Diego Costa
Quaresma

Goodnight.

Riquelme????
