just a small point! how come jansen made your revised starting 11 but didnt make the bench in your original 11?

1 0 Rovers

Emerton

the original list says he was number 12 which is outside the first eleven, matteo was number 5, so maybe matteo requested number 22 which he is on the revised list, which freed number 5 and flitty thought hed have that so he can be in the first eleven numbers? maybe

From the official site

New skipper Barry Ferguson will sport the number 16 shirt whilst Michael Gray and Lorenzo Amoruso will wear numbers 3 and 4 respectively.

According to that list mickey is wearing 33

yeah but also according to the official site

all three of Greame Souness' new acquisitions have been handed shirts in the first eleven with Dominic Matteo given number 22, Paul Dickov number 10 and Javier De Pedro number 11

surelynumber22 is outside the first eleven?

ok so i think its clear that we don't want to play ferguson deep so how about playing a 4 3 1 2?

then that would allow de pedro and emerton to run up the flanks ferguson is around the centre circle, then thompson is can be up behind the forwards and drop back to ferguson and ferguson can really be in the midfield. then its just the matter of keepin discipline at the back which hopefully matteo can help amo do

maybe that could work? just a thought, you can rip it apart now!

ok fair enough! i was only giving my opinion on the team i would put out and thought that if hes put there to start with it would settle the team quicker!

i dont think anyone will be leaving, those two signings, tiago and drogba will take the squad size to 22 which the manager wants

thats excluding goalkeepers because theres six of them! sureley they dont need that many!

chill your boots! didnt say there was anything wrong with him playin on the right! i just put the team i would want to see!

he has to do at some point! no use him getting used to playin on the right again and then change things half way through the season! he will be ok, hes a big boy now
