Your team for the Old Firm clash

would just defend and let them come to us instead of us all going forward then we always concede cause thats there game

 

good point mate, although Maloney has more old firm experience and i reckon Forrest would crumble under the pressure of the OF, especially the fact the game is at ibrox. I would bring him on as a sub though most definetely

 

taking injuries and the possibility of players on international duty my team would be:
forster
juarez rogne maj izzy
forrest brown ledley paddy/mcginn
hooper stokes

ideally would have had maloney in for paddy/mcginn and wilson in for juarez and ki in for ledley

 

:forster:
:wilson: :majstorovic: :rogne: :izaguirre:

:mcginn: :brown: :ledley: :murphy:

:stokes: :hooper:

 

aye, well we have to be strong in midfield he can play there. make sure we dont get bossed about . play like them play for a draw kill the game then hit them in the last 20 minutes wae putting attacking players on . who would you play there, who would be strong there. its no gona be sami cause hes a *

 

then forrest or paddy on near the end if we need a goal.

 

maloney would crumble anyway hes * * . just pack the midfield and kill the game

 

Forster
Wilson. Rogne. Maj. Izzy.
Kayal
Brown. Ki. Ledley.
Stokes. Hooper.

 

With Cha and Ki looking to be out, hopefully top of the league by this time too I'd go for this:

26.Forster

12.Wilson 5.Majstorovic 25.Rogne 3.Izaguirre

8.Brown(c) 16.Ledley

10.Stokes 4.Juarez 49.Forrest

88.Hooper
​

Subs
24.Zaluska
6.Hooiveld
9.Samaras
14.McGinn
20.McCourt
31.Towell
33.Kayal​

 

---------------------Forster

Juarez------Rogne-------------Majstorovic-----Izaguirre

----------Brown------Kayal--------Ledley

Stokes---------------------------------------McCourt

---------------------Hooper


SUBS:

McGinn
Forrest
Murphy
Wilson
Zaluska
Hooiveld
Mulgrew

 

gk Forster
rb Juarez
lb Izzy
cb Dan
cb Rogne

rm Forrest
lm Paddy
cm Ledley
cm Ki

cf Stokes
cf Hooper

 

midfield is the key

Foster

Juarez; Majstorovic; Rogne; Izzaguire

McGinn; Brown; Ledley; Kayal; Stokes

Hooper

Possibly swapping Maj if the board finally listen to the supporters and splash the cash on a decent CB after 5 years of asking(it is xmas after all)

 

Juarez Maj Rogne Izzy
Brown Ki Ledley Forrest
McCourt
Hooper
​

 

Is Ki not away for the asia cup???

 

i'd echo this but swap brown with juarez and have wilson(if fit) at rb

but if santa has read my letter it will be

gk casillas

rb maicon
cb pique
cb vidic
lb lahm

rm ozil
cm ineista
cm gerrard
lm messi

st nasri(just behind)
st drogba

 

do you think they will have the toilet fixed by then?

 

I heard it wasn't the freezing temperatures that burst the pipe it was mcculloch's *

 

i * hope not

 

Perhaps a gamble on Brown's and Forrest's fitness but wouldn't mind seeing:

Wilson......Rogne......Maj......Emilio
...................................................
Forrest.....Ki..........Brown.....Ledley
...................................................
...................Stokes......................
...................................................
...................Hooper.......................


With McCourt an impact sub and Murphy maybe necessary for aerial presence...

 

murphy has to be on the bench. a bit of brute strength may be needed.
