i have taken into account pulis and his stubborness, and think this team could be realistic
begovic wilkinson, huth, shawcross, wilson whelan, nzonzi walters, adam, etherington owen
i personally would not play huth, walters, whelan but there is not a chance he will drop them, surely it has to be time for adam and owen, surely!!!!!!

Owen, do you know anything about Pulis , there needs to be a big lump up front.

There is no point trying to outplay Man Utd so starting Adam and Owen would not be top of my list, be good to see Owen towards the end though.

My Opinion is the only way we could get any kind of result against Man United is to take them completey by surprise and set up like we did against Valencia away, ironically he didn't do this by design but more an attempt to prove to people that his usual methods are best, only we played very well. maybe he should chuck in the likes of pennant, Palacios, Adam Owen, Pennant and say go on then show me why you should be playing. If we play our usual game with the usual players we will lose anyway, and deservedly so.

Begovic Wilkinson WIlson Huth Shawcross Adam N'Zonzi Pennant Kightly Owen Jones Cameron played poorly at the weekend, especially defensively, so Wilkinson would come in. Kightly keeps his place after his goal and Pennant comes in on the other wing. Adam starts in central midfield alongside N'Zonzi Owen starts with Kenwyne 1-0 win Stoke

It will be a 6-3-1 formation.

My team to start against Man U would be.....Aston Villa. They're fucking great. They'll get us the points. Oh and Walters of course. Adam on the bench. Obviously.

Just be realistic with yourselves guys. What's the point in even pretending he's willing to give in to his stubborn pride?

Yeah bizarrely when we have played different formations we have actually got decent results (and this was line ups that included Diao, Palacios and Arismendi). Man U would be a good time to gamble on something different because we won't have much chance to test it after.

If he does any of the following he's a tit.
Cameron at rb. Shotton on the wing. Whitehead in the middle. Crouch up front.
Avoid that and we might compete.

Its time to dust off Owen.

Deja vu - didn't we have this thread a couple of days ago? My opinion still hasn't changed.....
Forgetting about the fantasy options which people keep mentioning but have less than 0% chance of being picked (eg Owen, JP, Palacios, Cuvelier, Ness, Shea, Stan Matthews), and assuming no injuries:
Bego
Wilko Shawx Huth Wils
Adam Nzonzi Whelan/Whitehead
Walters Jerome
Jones
4-3-2---1
Forget wingers, try to pack midfield, Jones as target man, Jerome the only one with pace in the squad (and he can finish). With Jerome and Jones we just might be able to do something on the break.
If he really must play with a winger swap Walters for Ethers.
I got to admit, in 2011 if you'd told me we'd be spending £40mil or more over 2 seasons, I really would have expected better options than this though

Assuming Whelan Etherington and Wilson are injured. Try for 0-0,this to me if one of few games where 5-4-1 is best. start with Begovic Deano Huth Shawcross Wilko Kightly walters cameron Adam nzonzi crouch,free rein to help out where ever is needed. There is always the catenaccio positioning.

No Huth? He had a poor game v Villa (not the only Stoke player in this game) but Ryan is quite unsettled without him imo

We really don't have good enough wingers this year so why keep trying?....

Begovic
Huth Shawcross Wilson
Cameron N'zonzi Adam Etherington
Walters
Jones Jerome
The full back situation doesn't fill me with confidence and our wingers act like wing backs anyway so why not use wing backs and try to pack the midfield? I'd also be tempted to stick Walters on Carrick...
