He seems to like Cameron at right back doesn't he?

That looks like the side that will start the season, bar any last minute new signings, only possible change would have been Shea for Etherington in my opinion.

Think that will be our defence then

Seems that way. 1 up front seems a bit frightening considering we're against a conference side but the general consensus on twitter is a 4-2-3-1.

Multithreads everywhere xD I'll just stick to this one.

4-3-3 again, but with more 'wingery' wingers. Interesting.

It could also be, of course, 4-4-1-1.  |

Personally, I think Etherington is gone. But we don't have the necessary players to be fussy.

I hope Cuvelier gets half. See what he's got.

Looking at our bench makes not sending a few of them to Macclesfield yesterday look even more strange imo.

It does definitely look like Cameron's going to start the season at RB.
Rest of the team looks like it's pretty much the favoured XI of what we've got.
Although he may just be giving Pennant a run.
Still not sure he favours Crouch over Jones either - but they both may go anyway?

Think we're about to answer that age old question of how Crouch does with supply.

At Anfield I hope he will play Wilson at right back, Kightly instead of Pennant and KJ or Jerome instead of Crouch. If we don't sign anyone who could walk into the team that is!

If we can go off this pre-season I'm closer to getting in the side than Wilson. He seems a million miles away from being considered for any one of his positions. |

That side screams out lack of pace. If we are going to start the new season with this team we are in big trouble. Pennant and Etherington are past it and we don't even have an option to replace them from the bench.
The squad is massively unbalanced. We have wilson, Wilko and Shotton on the bench as right backs and are starting with Cameron who has never looked convincing there. We are crying ut for a couple of tricky, pacy wide players who can make something happen. Crouch needs a pacy attacking player around him if it's to work but instead we have Charlie Adam.
The squad needed a massive overhaul this summer but it hasn't happened. We've filled the left back position which is one positive but there is still much to do.

Wilson is probably pining for TP - and a regular start at LB.
It is weird though. I thought he'd be a very likely starter at RB.

Might be so, but in my opinion he is a better full back than Cameron. I always want us to put the staring 11 I prefer on the pitch! |
