Thracian Posted 1 September 2005 Share Posted 1 September 2005 Okay, now the Transfer Window has been closed, and assuming Kisnorbo and Hughes are now available after injury, but Gerrbrand is out, what does the forum believe is our best available team? I'd go Douglas; Maybury, Nils, McCarthy, Stearman; Hume, Hughes, Williams, Hamill; Hammond, MDV. Subs: Dublin, Kisnorbo, Joey, (probably starting in away matches) Tiatto , Momo/Willcox This has reasonable pace, flexibility width-wise and good scoring potential.

shen Posted 1 September 2005 Share Posted 1 September 2005 Rab; Maybury, Nissa, Paddy, Sheehan; Hughes, Williams, Joey; Hammond, De Vries, Hume; Subs: Stearman, Dublin, Hamill, Tiatto, Kisnorbo I believe we can cause a lot of damage with this team/formation. Hammond and Hume can use their pace to try and find gaps inbetween central defenders and fullbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitesh Posted 1 September 2005 Share Posted 1 September 2005 Rab stearman nisss paddy maybury gudjonsson - hughes - hammil/Williams hammond hume V v De Vries Something like that....Ric Flair suggested this in another forum and i reckon it would work! You would have Hume and Hammond on thw wings with their pace and strength, plus their work rate suits this! De Vries would also be able to hold the ball up and knock it out to the wings or wait for Hughes or Williams or Gudjonsson to bomb forward, but you would need one of them to stay back just in case the opposition counter. This formation would be very attacking but i reckon we need something like this because i think it makes best use of the players we have. EDIT: Its not working as i thought...but basically Hume and Hammond would be wide on the flanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This formation would be very attacking but i reckon we need something like this because i think it makes best use of the players we have. Basically a 4-3-3 then, like the one I suggested?... Actually thinking about it, it could be interesting if City adopted the same formation as Denmark. It would look something like this: -------------------------- Douglas --------------------------- Maybury ------ Paddy ------------ Nissa ---- Sheehan --- ----------------- Kisnorbo ------ Joey ---------------------- Hammond ------------- Hughes ----------------- Hume -- ------------------------- De Vries --------------------------- So basically one up front, one behind the target man and pacy, attacking wingers while you have 2 defensive mids, one of which can man mark while the other distributes play/acts a little like a playmaker. Obviously my selection is very flexible, e.g. Hume could play behind De Vries and Hammill/Wilcox/Hammond on the left and Sylla on the right, or Hughes/Williams instead of Joey or Kisnorbo etc. ... It would require quick accurate passing though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlcfc Posted 1 September 2005 Share Posted 1 September 2005 To anyone leaving gareth williams out, 1 word...... NO! the man is the heart of the midfield and no other central midfielders in the squad have the ability to fill his place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadandcheese Posted 1 September 2005 Share Posted 1 September 2005 Although the 4-3-3 idea looks good, I don't think it would work with a midfield three of Hughes, Williams and Gudjonsson. It seems too lightweight a midfield. Maybe when Wesolowski and Kisnorbo are fit, it could be a very real possibility and tactical masterstroke.

Anish Posted 1 September 2005 Share Posted 1 September 2005 To anyone leaving gareth williams out, 1 word...... NO! the man is the heart of the midfield and no other central midfielders in the squad have the ability to fill his place Williams is the most frustrating player to watch in a LCFC shirt this season. So much talent, so little impact. And as for tackling/making challenges, does he even know what that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted 1 September 2005 Share Posted 1 September 2005 If Gerrbrand was available (and the OS seems to indicate he will be soon), I would play: Rab Nissa Gerrbrand McCarthy Maybury Joey Hughes Williams Wilcox Hume Elvis/ De Vries Bench: Stearman, Kisnorbo, Tiatto, Dubbers, Henderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRIOR09 Posted 1 September 2005 Share Posted 1 September 2005 in my opinion this is our best possible team Douglas Stearman Gerrbrand Johansson Maybury Sylla Williams Kisnorbo Hughes De Vries Hume By christmas, we will see Hamill and possibly Elvis in the starting 11.

henry's best mate Posted 1 September 2005 Share Posted 1 September 2005 what is the big attraction for people having nils-eric in their starting line-up. i think he can be a liability. He was at fault for the hull goal mainly because his marking isn't too great. This is probably because he is used to playing left-back. I'm not saying i don't think he's good player, i just wonder why people love him all of a sudden. He doesn't look like a cultured centre-half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just sounded like you had a better alternative. Alas we don't have Kenton so I don't understand the point you are making. Of the central defenders we have to choose from, would Nissa not be in your lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Fan Posted 1 September 2005 Share Posted 1 September 2005 Dublin? Yeah I think he would be better at centre back because he was one our top performers there last season, and has little (or rather no) pace now in his old age. I also think Paddy needs to be taught a thing or two before playing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
