I'm with Homer, but i would be tempted to include Vaz Te out wide, as Nolan struggles to be effective out wide. But then Vaz Te doesn't put in the same about of back tracking as Kev would.

Couldn't disagree with that Homer. Actually quite excites me that we'll still have the likes of Vaz Te, Helgusson, Campo, Faye, Stelios and our 2 new tricky wingers on the bench. But I may be the only one!

Wilhelmsson won't play for sure. I'd be surprise if he starts the first few games.

[HomerJay]

if nolan wasnt captain, he wouldnt be in the team to start with imo.

 

a lot to prove this season.

I'm not sure he will be. I don't expect him to play in a wide role, and I've said umpteen times before that I don't think he has the wherewithal to be an orthodox centre midfielder.

 

We're not short of competition in that department now, and I reckon we have players better suited to the job in hand. I expect Alonso to figure prominently this season, and I think we'll probably see more of Guthrie than a lot of people expect, too.

I think we have suited wide players this season so its hard to see where Nolan would fit in.... my team v jawdees wud be this... pace out wide stop their fullbacks and f**kin fritten em in centre mid

If Cid is left footed and can play left back I would consider him instead of samuels, with faye at centre half, and maybe speed and nolan centre midfield with wilhelmson on the other wing.

[Smiley]

Some interesting choices. But we'll go with an experienced midfield. Too soon for McCann and the other new boys. Cid needs to watch a few matches before jumping in, so we'll give him a rest for first match. Play him down at Fulham.

I'm tipping a 4-1-3-2 formation. If these 5 defensive players cannot keep them out and those attacking 5 players cannot score - I'll be amazed.

For me based off last night

Not sure about Guthrie but I thought nolan played well on the right, Campo played well too, but Davies seemed to be a little bit slow.

I think Davies will be a centre half in the next 2 seasons.

sammy has played nolan wide plenty of times, i dont think he thinks he has the right attributes/ability to play centre mid...

 

i agree with you about guthrie, he will play 25 games at least this season.

[frank_spencer]

I think Davies will be a centre half in the next 2 seasons.

 

A Faye and Davies centre half partnership would scare most centre forwards i'm sure.

[Zico]

4-3-3

Maybe Alonso startin centre mid instead of McCann...He impressed me alot last night

4-3-3

 

Jussi

 

Hunt - Cid - Meite - Samuel

Diouf - Anelka - Davies

 

I agree, or at least I'd play 4-3-3

 

Faye in for Cid

 

Campo, Nolan, Speed midfield...maybe McCann for Speed

 

We sure have options this year, I like McCann as a player and we've a fair few new boys too...lots of them attacking players

We've just had a discussion about this at work & the view is that LSL will want to play Wilhelmson (his biggest signing), keep Nolan as captain (he hasn't said he's not captain yet), & play this team:

 

Jussi

 

 

Hunt Meite Cid Samuel

 

 

Diouf Faye Nolan Wilhelmson

 

 

Anelka Davies

 

 

That leaves one hell of a potential bench:

 

Al Habsi-Walker-Sinclair-Michailik-Campo-Andranik-Guthrie-McCann-Braaten-Harsanyi-Helguson-Speed-Alonso-Vaz Te

Not to mention the injured Stelios-Gardener-O'Brien-Dzemali! Let's hope LSL can man manage.

Aye it's a good squad

 

But considering Gardner is a converted LB, Samuel is not the best defensively, Faye can play midfield and will go to the African Nations, O'Brien is long term injured, and Hunt is commonly recognised as the 'weakest link' - it's shockingly low on defenders IMO
