John Boy Saint Posted 12 August, 2017 Share Posted 12 August, 2017 As no one has posted already - I will have a go at kicking one off........... Hopefully the boss will get them sorted and we will remember how to celebrate a goal. My only changes Boufal for Redmond or Tadic........ and don't be afraid to go 2 up front.

Dazza82 Posted 12 August, 2017 Share Posted 12 August, 2017 Forster Cedric Stephens Yoshida Bertrand* Romeu Davis Tadic Lemina Boufal Gabbiadini *If fit, if not play MQueen. Will need a bit more in midfield vs West ham hence why Lemina gets in over JWP Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 12 August, 2017 Share Posted 12 August, 2017 Stick with formation. Goals will come. Boufal in for redmond & possibly lemina for Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamplemousse Posted 12 August, 2017 Share Posted 12 August, 2017 It'll be interesting to see how West Ham do tomorrow I don't think they've had a particularly good transfer window. On paper, you'd expect them to attack a bit more than Swansea, which might suit us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for a start he is the captain so he has to play. Secondly Davis is having to play as a holding midfielder (which is a damning statement of our other midfield options) which isn't the best use for him he should be playing were JWP played yesterday he is much better than JWP in the position behind the striker.

I'm guessing so. Hoj and Clasie not even making the bench yesterday was pretty damning. I expect Lemina and Romeu will become our standard midfield this season leaving JWP and Davis fighting it out for the third position in behind the striker although Boufal looked good in that position when he came on so that's another option.

Personally if I had the option I replace both of them with someone better but If I had to pick one to play it would be Davis the fact that and aging Davis is still one of our better options says more about our transfer policy than anything else.

tajjuk Posted 13 August, 2017 Share Posted 13 August, 2017 I don't understand this w*nkfest for Davis, I thought he was our weakest player, and JWP was up there as our most effective player. Me neither, he's a tidy player but offered very little for me. JWP was one of our better players yesterday and was much better than Davis last year. Davis should be a rotation option this year. Lemina in for Davis for me (Lemina is not an attacking mid so no idea why people are putting him in that position) And personally I'd drop Tadic for Boufal. To be honest JWP has to play for set pieces alone because clearly no one else seems to be able to take them hence Yoshida taking that free kick at the end.

JWP isn't fit to tie Davis boot laces..they are miles apart in creativity, linking midfield to attack and even pace. Actually, you would find it hard to find a slower midfield player in the premiership.. he makes Surman look quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Monkey Posted 13 August, 2017 Share Posted 13 August, 2017 Forster Cedric Stephens Yoshida Bertrand Lemina Romeu JWP Boufal Redmond Gabbi Jwp wider for his crossing. Lemina and Cedric have the pace to make up for his lack of it. Boufal can skin his man or score from distance so I think we need to give him a run in that position.

striker Posted 13 August, 2017 Share Posted 13 August, 2017 I think we need more scoring punch. I don't buy into the mantra that yesterday was just a "one-off", we saw the same movie too many times last year with the same players. We have a whopping 2 guys who have proven they can score with some regularity, Gabbi and Austin, so I propose switching the formation to accommodate them. We can't tie our way to the top, but we can tie our way to the Championship.

derry Posted 13 August, 2017 Share Posted 13 August, 2017 WHU are now very high tempo and physical with it. I'd play Long up front to mix it and Austin with a free roll behind. Gabbiadini off the left and one from Boufal, Redmond, Tadic etc on the right with Lemina alongside Romeu in front of the back four. We might get a goal but with the usual attack we are looking at seven at home in the league without scoring. Doing the same thing time after time and expecting a different result is stupidity.

Austin rightly won't play in a free role behind as he would be ****e there as isn't an especially good footballer and is a central striker or nothing. Gabbiadini is one of our best finishers so very likely won't be selected to play further away from the goal. Romeu will play so at least you nailed that.
