Ricky Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 There was a discussion on the transfer thread about players who have moved on recently and done well. Lead me to thinking of our strongest 11 still playing. We may struggle in some positions but it would be an interesting one to look at, gone for a 442 to keep it simple. Remember they must still be playing. for a starter: GK - Mark Bunn RB - Ben Marshall CB - Phil Jones CB - Michael Keane LB - Martin Olsson RM - Alan Judge CM - Stephen N'Zonzi CM - Tom Cairney LM ST - Anthony Modeste ST - Niko Kalinic Others: Gestede, Rhodes, King, Morris, struggling for a left winger but apart from that it's not a bad side at all. Keeper seems to be the weak area which probably comes down to the number of poor keepers we've had. Steele, Kean, Bywater, Eastwood could all have got the spot I guess.

Ricky Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 I wasn't sure if we had a better left winger playing at a higher level Mike. Morris has done very well at League 1 but no higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigdoggsteel Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 We could just go 4-3-3 and play King and Kalinic either side of Modeste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigdoggsteel Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Not a bad team all the same. A good keeper and left winger and could be midtable Premier league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacknOry Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hoilett, the other Olsson, not sure how Petrovic is doing these days, Hanley, Duffy could all push for bench places. Also Shay Given would be number one or backup keeper. Without a club currently but technically not reitred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the manager still has to be managing I would say he is the outstanding candidate.
