    Write here is one for you.
    Due to our team is playing rank the now it got me wondering, would I choose the same players as mowbray or not?. Who would you play, why play them. Also why would you leave certain players out. The players will be playing against Hamilton thats our next league game. Not choosing Hamburg due to you might play safe. last you can choose your formation everythings your choice.
    Enjoy :celt_2:

    formation 4:4:2

    players keeper: boruc, zaluska,cervi
    def: hinkel, naylor,,mcmanus,caldwell,fox,wilson,loovens,
    thompson,caddis
    mid: nguemo,brown,maloney,mgeady,robson,z.zhi,mizuno
    mcginn,mcourt,crosas,flood
    strikers:mcdonald,samaras,fortune,killen

    keeper: boruc (easy choice)
    Def : hinkel (consistent )
    Fox (consistent )
    Loovens (best of the trio)
    Thompson (need something fresh)
    mid Mcginn (deserves chance)
    Robson (need some grit) CAPTAIN
    Z.ZHI (player with vision)
    Mcgeady (best player if you play to his strength) free
    roaming
    Maloney (link with mid and strikers)
    Samaras "controversial" (saw him play with maloney last
    year and they had a good understanding of
    one another, So would like to try it.

    Subs : Mccourt (would of got a start but would like to try this
    1st)
    mcdonald (doesnt link with any of our strikers so maybe
    a hindrance also would like to try a new
    striking partnership)
    Caldwell (Better than mcmanus but by not much)
    zaluska ( shame his comp is against the holy goalie.
    V.good bac up)
    Brown (Guy needs to wake up 2weeks no playing just
    watching)

    Now i like mowbrary And I would like to see the Team he would like to putout. But that isnt going to happen till really Next Summer, so we have to wake up and play with the team we have the now, January is a long way a way in football terms, so until jan,summer lets try and get our house in order.

    last you might like my team or hate it that is up to you
    but i hope you enjoy picking your team.
    P.S MOAN-THE-HOOPS

    So like playing Manager here?

    Ok I would go:

    1.Boruc

    2.Hinkel, 22.Loovens, 4.McManus(c), 11.Fox

    46.McGeady, 6.N'Guemo, 19.Robson, 13.Maloney

    9.Samaras, 10.Fortune

    Subs: 24.Zaluska, 5.Caldwell, 7.McDonald, 8.Brown, 17.Crosas, 20.McCourt & 27.Zheng

    Would be a good strong bench that, but unfortunately we would never get to use that kind of bench in the SPL with the shity under 21 rule, but aye that would proberly be my side..

    Abit of grit in the middle with Robson & N'Guemo, Pace & strength up top with Sammy & Fortune, & both good at linking up the midfield & bringing them into play to also put in some goals, I know Loovens & Mick weren't at there best in the Ibrox game, but still feel there our best Centre Halfs, It depends on who we bring in the Jan window, but for the now, when everyone is fit that would be my side..

    Hope thats what you were asking for? :84:

    If I was manager.....



    Code:
                    Boruc
    
    Hinkel   Caldwell    Loovens     Fox
    
    Maloney  Robson   N'Guemo    McGeady
    
                  Zheng
    
                 McDonald 
    I'd like to see this line up tried out. The focus put on no space for the opposition in midfield and when we do get the ball, we have the players that have the intelligence to retain possession whilst trying to attack and recycle the ball if need be.

    When Fortuné is near match fit, he'd replace McDonald and he'd hold up the ball and all midfielders, except N'Guemo give him options whilst the full backs provide the width.

    We're struggling to get goals enough as it is, 2 forwards are needed.

    You know what I think that one would actually work, if Scott Brown was back to full fitness that is, & just change between Crosas & N'Guemo of who would have the sitting role.

    I disagree, whats needed is tactics that arent as predictable, plenty of teams play 1 up front and have no issues putting the ball in the net

    The Achilles Heal of that setup is the lack of end product from Maloney & McGeady. You'd get better ball from the full back who have to run half the length of the field!

    love a good walk on
    boruc

    maloney nguemo zhi robson(c)
    fortune mcdonald

    subs:
    mccourt
    mcgeady
    brown
    zaluska
    thompson
    samaras
    wilson

    brown and mcgeady need to be dropped as both are playing for themselves and still not playing to a high standard.

    robson and zhi to come into the midfield as robson seems to be one of the few players who knows what it means to wear the hoops atm and zheng zhi has not put a foot wrong yet so no reason the leave him out

    fortune to play up top as he is the best striker at the club just now and to be partnered by mcdonald as samaras is a donkey.

    as for the CB pairing... does it matter? two of the three clowns will have to do for now.

    ano what you mean mate, but... we'd have great width, we'd create chances left right n center, we cud go long or short, and it wud be easily adjustable if we were on the back foot

    maloney nguemo Zehng Zhi mcginn



    mcdonald.....

    KILLEN...


    Killen should come in because the other 3 are off form and IMO he's the only one right now garunteed to get goals.

    mcginn maloney AND THE TWO FULL-BACKS can throw balls in all they want for killen and skippy to attack .

    mcgeady's off form and brown is just * . both should be dropped . ZZ and n'guemo is our best partnership too .

    This would be my team; Robson needs to be in the sqaud he provides a bit of steal and he can score a few goals as well. Plus he's the only player in our sqaud who can hit a shot.

    Full Backs to provide the width and I would rotate between Brown/Zheng Zhi/N'Guemo/Crosas for the holding role.

    For weaker opposition it would have to be Crosas for his passing range. McCourt would have a free role, he's a genius on the ball let him do what he wants with it. If he's unfit I would move McGeady into that role and have either McGinn or Maloney on the wing.

    Caddis can provide cover for Hinkel, Robson can be shifted to left back if there is an injury for Fox.

    Samaras and Fortune up front can both hold up the ball; provides height and strength and mos importantly of all movement.

    McDonald on the bench; he's the best out and out scorer in the sqaud but his general play holds the team back I think.

    boruc
    fox loovens thomson caddis
    mcginn robson mcgeady
    z.zhi

    maloney samaras

    this team would be for next game there would be a few changes when we get everyone back , but will go through reasons for each .
    boruc no brainer - but feel sorry for zaluska as he just unlucky boruc is number 1
    fox- best left back for a while
    caddis - this boy due his chance , never puts a foot wrong when he comes in
    loovens - best of the 3 , but would replace in january with o`dea
    thomson - i have read everyone raving about this boy , give him a shot
    mcginn- has looked good , willing to beat players and has an end ball
    robson - captain , now heres a guy that has passion
    mcgeady - tempted to leave out for mccourt , but needs to up his game & end result
    z.zhi - like the look of this boy , composed on the ball not panic , would do well behind strikers feeding them .
    maloney - another who needs to step up and be counted but better than the wee moaner mcdonald who could not trap a bag of cement
    samaras - like big guy but a player who needs confidence but beter than others
