Just for shits and giggles while we have a break
I have 2 formations and teams depending who and where we are pplaying
Home - attacking 4-1-2-3
Jack
Glen Ryan Phil Erik
Imbula
Affellay Bojan
Shaq Joselu Arnie
Subs: Walters, Whelo, Adam, Muni, Diouf, Geoff, Hauggard
Away (poorer teams) - I would use the same team but drop Affelay deeper against lower teams in a 4-2-3-1
Away (better teams) - a 4-2-3-1
Jack
Glen Ryan Phil Erik
Imbula Whelo
Affelay/Bojan (whoever is in form)
Shaq Walters Arnie
Subs: Af/Bo, Diouf, Joselu, Adam, Geoff, Muni, Hauggard
(Think SJW offers better effort and hold up play when solo, maybe Crouch over Diouf as a plan B hail Mary attack)
Harsh no place for Diouf bar the bench, and for Geoff too but he offers excellent coverage in defence and midfield. Muni covers CH and LB
Am sure opinion will be wide and varied!

It's Hard not picking a striker but then who do you drop? And who do you start? Joselu? I tried to put all of our best players in the team. It's tough this management lark!

If everybody was fit & in form which unfortunately is always highly unlikely I still think we need to be more cautious at home as more teams are catching us on the break ie Palace, Watford & Everton.We still need Whelan and Imbula looks to be a great addition alongside.Bojan & Afelay need to fight out for the one position with Walters/Joselu & Diouf fighting for leading the attack. But injuries/form will always prevent this choice being available.

We don't have a best starting 11 because I think we have a squad to pick and choose to suit us against the opposition. We just have certain players that will become versatile and useful in any system we use - such as the keeper and back four, Imbula and the two wide men.
Some games will call for Cameron alongside Imbula ahead of Whelan in an inverted three, some Afellay there, some Imbula alongside Whelan and one of Afellay or Bojan in behind and so on.
Up front will depend on what we use in midfield. Play Afellay or Bojan in behind and we'd need Diouf or Joselu...again depending on what we're facing etc.
We have a richness of options beyond anything we've ever had before.
It's just about getting the buggers fit.

I would prefer another beast of a midfielder to play with imbula but wouldn't want to drop Afellay. Decent side is that. There are so many problems with that side. The back four would have to do a lot of defending because not many players in front of them would be doing so. Imbula appears to be the defensive midfielder, thus hampering his ability to drive forwards. Bojan is in the position he has struggled with this season where he can't find space and is crowded off the ball. Joselu is a skilful player but doesn't provide enough physical presence to play as a lone striker and tends to drift out of the penalty area. |

9 of the 11 are clear cut for me with only 2 positions left for Bojan, Affellay, Joselu, Diouf, Walters.
Muni and Geoff great bench options along with 3 of those 5 above.

Shawcross
Pieters
Imbula

Shaqiri
Bojan
Arnie
Joselu
We haven't seen this team yet, and I'm very, very excited for when we do.
The defence and keeper are rock solid (when they're all fit of course, which could be a while).
Imbula and Afellay are obviously fantastic players who can both defend and start attacks with great runs and passes.
Arnie, Shaq and Bojan have shown many times that they can be deadly on their day, so I'd love to see them playing together again more often.
Joselu looks like he's got goals in him, he just needs a run of games and a good supply.

The 'can Afellay and Bojan play in the same team?' question looks a bit like the Gerard/Lampard England dilemma of a few years ago.

Really can't choose between Afellay and Bojan but I'd probably choose Diouf or Joselu depending on the opponents.

After SJW's performance on Saturday, he has cemented his place as lone striker until the end of the season.
Incredibly, the Daily Mail match report compared him to Pele and Neymar.
"But the changes backfired when Stoke scored two goals in three minutes. The first, on 52 minutes, was a flowing counter, Glenn Whelan playing a ball down the right flank for Jonathan Walters.
The striker performed the sweetest of skills, deceiving defender Steve Cook without even touching the ball, feinting to cut inside then allowing it to run down the flank. Cook gave a groan.
Pele pulled off the greatest of these moves against Uruguay in the 1970 World Cup, beating goalkeeper Ladislao Mazurkiewicz before missing an open goal.
Neymar executed another for Barcelona a few years back, but was brutally taken out. Walters went one better and passed into Afellay, who buried a first-time shot into the right of goal"
