    Mine currently would be

    Howard (gk)

    Coleman (rb) Jags (cbr) Distin (cbl) Baines (lb)


    Gibson (cm) Fellini (cm)



    Mirallas (Inside Right) Osman (acm) Pienaar (Inside Left)


    Jelavic (cf)

    although Fellini has been awsome playing behind the striker it leaves a void in the middle of the park and has caused us to leak to many goals. ossie has been good this season but I think he would be better linking up the play furhter forward and will offer a bit more creativity for jelavic. this would hopefully stop us pumping the ball forward at any given opertunity. with gibbo and fellini in the middle protecting the defence it would give mirallas and pienarr more licence to focus to attack.

    if the system isnt working we can switch ossie and fellini round to go more direct as the game goes on.

    I would like to see Barkley given a bit of time in the support role aswell.

    how can you have an inside right and and inside left when you already have 2 centre midfielders?

    Am i not correct in thinking an inside right or left tend to be wide (right wing & left wing) players that cut inside.?

    this then pulls the oposition full back out of position and enables our full backs to provide an overlap.

    you could be mate but it seems a little back to front if it does mean that........my understnading is inside left is your left sided CM and obviously vice versa with the right.


    But i aint a coach so am probs wrong :)

    Not Coleman.....surely you meant to put Hibbo in there.

    Id probably play Coleman in the games that we should be controlling (bottom half teams) and then hibbo for games that we are expecting to be on the back foot (top 4 and a couple of others)

    He has played in those games and failed....believe me I've supported him even when others didn't and as much as I like him going forward the guy is a total liability at the back.

    we also have the option of neville at RB for now.

    i think we would both agree its a key area for the team to be strenghtened in the future.

    I think the Coleman/Mirallas partnership has offered more attacking flair down the right hand side than we have seen for years.
    Yes, Coleman does need more time to become a good RB, but for me that partnership is bloody good. 
    It gives us more attacking options than just having to rely on Baines/Peanuts, which even though is still a damn good partnership, it is very predictable.
    I think this even's it up.

    Some have been shouting the odd's on Naismith, but he is constantly played on the right, when let's be honest, he is not a winger.
    Him and Jelly partnered up really well at Rangers and I think the same should be done here.
    Give the lad a chance and play him in the role he is used too.
