5-0 easy

 

I'd bite yer hand off for a point right now.

 

Doubt Maj will be fit?

 

Earth calling Smileyy

 

How about -

Forster​

Wilson Maj (if fit) Mulgrew Izzy​

Stokes Brown Kayal Ledley Ljungberg​

Hooper​

Could play Stokes and Ljungberg sitting a bit further up the field to more attacking positions.​

If not Ljungberg then Commons but that would be a tough one as Commons is playing really well but the experience and pace of Ljungberg could prove to be a good asset too here.​

Brown, Kayal and Ledley could control the midfield with this formation as well and when play allows it Brown and Ledley can push forward. I think Brown is better when playing in the center of midfield rather than on the right.​

I think this should be a good formation with plenty of attacking pace. Can't really leave Hooper out in my opinion with the way he has been playing.​

A 4-5-1 formation but to me it's an attacking 4-5-1.​

 

Forster

Wilson. Rogne. Mulgrew. Emilio.

Kayal.

Brown. Ledley. Commons

Maloney

Samaras

 

I would go with a five man midfield as we don't really need to win this
game, a draw would suffice and I reckon a five man midfield would give us the best chance of achieving that.

Forster

Wilson Loovens Mulgrew Izagurre

Juarez Brown Kayal Ledley Commons

Stokes

 

Juarez?!? He's hardly played and I don't think I've seen him play wide right in a 5 man midfield. I'd rather Forrest played in that position. Stokes isn't the man to play up front on his own either. As much as Samaras drives me mental he's the best suited to playing up front on his own.

 

I don't trust any of our strikers to play upfront by themselves.Not at all.

 

spot on mate

 

just get tore right into the inbred * from the first whistle to the last , keep the ball and shut them down quickly and well doo them

 

It's got to be a really tough one for Lenny but the fact is they're the ones that need the win. Obviously we'd love a win but drawing this game and winning the rest wins us the league. I think you set up 4-5-1, try to dominate midfield and catch them on the break. The only question for me is do you play Sammy up front or Hooper. If Hooper is in any way a fitness doubt I think you play Sammy and have Commons or Maloney playing as an advanced mid. Ledley, Kayal, Ki and Brown in the center of the park to control the ball. Let Wilson and Izzy bomb on down the wings. If the game is still close in the second half you can bring on Stokesy.

 

To win the league we need to be brave enough and good enough to go to mordor and beat the huns.....
Pick the best 11 and put them in their best positions! No experimental formations!!!

 

Id be happy with a point but i want to get a point going for the win if that makes sense.
I wouldnt like to see us set up too defensive and end up gettin beat and being dominated the majority of the game. Id set up similar to the cup final with the exception of Rogne for Maj (if fit). Id tell Samaras to run at weir with the ball as he cant handle his pace. Also would say to Sammy to look for the wide pass as i feel sometimes he holds onto the ball too long. Id try to get the ball to hooper inside the box on the deck as much as possible and playing off the last man. Id also tell Izzy to be very diciplined in how much he bombs forward as i dont think Commons has the defensive mind set to cover for him if he overlaps. Id let Commons do the penetrating runs. Mulgrew on freekicks.

 

Brown played centrally and Stokes as a lone striker???

Ermm, right-ho... glad you're no' pickin the team!

 

agreed, that team looked *.

we need to go there and set up to win the game, play our way, play our strongest XI. let them worry about how to deal with us instead of the other way round.

 

not really worried about that game yet, i,m in my " just win the next game mode" . i have full faith in lenny . 7 games till glory! HAIL HAIL

 

We play our strongest team and show them why we're gonna be champions.

Forster
Wilson Maj(Rogne) Mulgrew Izaguirre
Brown Kayal Ledley Commons
Stokes Hooper
​

Zaluska, Loovens, Juarez, Ki, McCourt, Forrest, Samaras

Majstorovic if fit, Rogne if he's not.

 

It will be end to end stuff, both teams going for the win but then again I wouldn't mind a draw either, this is possibly the biggest game of the season. If our team is on form and play at their best, we WILL beat Rangers. I'm not as confident as I was going into the last OF game at Ibrox.

 

think we should play stokes up front for this one
