From a Boro point of view. We play 4 2 3 1. Centre half is a slight concern Ayala is definitely out, Espinoza is just back in training after a long lay off. Barragan played there v real Sociedad on sat, or karanka could go with baptiste or young fry but he been away with England u19 most the summer. Still looking to bring in a centre half after subotic deal fell through. Not sure if he will go with Adomah or downing or fisher or downing wide. Up front he may go for Rhodes ahead of negrado.
Anyhow, we will look something like this.
Valdes
Nsue barragan Gibson friend
Clayton de roon
Downing Ramirez Fischer
Negrado

Haven't seen Joe play for us yet other than the sub appearance vs Hamburg but Whelan hasn't looked good in my opinion. I think Muni, if fit, is better than Phil as the left CB.

GJ------Ryan------Muni------Erik

Ahhhh I genuinely didn't know that!, I thought we started 352 and then went back to the usual 4231?, if we didn't then I might be completely wrong!!!!!. How did we work the players into the 4231? Diouf up front, Sobhi and Shaq wide, Bojan number 10, Whelan and Imbula behind. Usual back four except Geoff in for GJ. Think it'll be that except Arnie for Sobhi and maybe Allen for Glenn. Rob do you think we can read anything into the fact that on Saturday, Hughes left Whelan on and brought Allen on to replace Imbula? If (as many people have suggested) Allen has been brought in to replace Whelan, then wouldn't logic suggest that the manager would have wanted him to see at least a bit of game time getting used to the role, when actually he simply played him in exactly the same position he has played for Liverpool and Swansea?

Agreed, Paul - that is why I think we will see a fair bit this season of a midfield three of Whelan, Allen and Imbula, especially away from home. This does raise the question of how Bojan will fit in, unless we play the BMX false nine forward line.

I think it's pretty straightforward and Allen will play (or be direct competition) for the Whelan role.

I have a sneaky feeling we might go with a midfield 3 of Imbula, Whelan & Allen meaning one of Shaqiri (depending on fitness) or Bojan will miss out.. just a hunch.

After watching a few things yesterday, albeit on a crap stream, I'd go with: Butland Johnson Shawcross Wollscheid Pieters Whelan Allen Imbula Shaq Bojan Arnie I'd like to see this given a go, certainly a lot better balanced for us with our squad we have.

Butland Johnson Shawcross Wollscheid Pieters Allen Imbula Shaqiri Bojan Arnie Diouf Bardsley for Johnson if he isn't fit. That would be my shout aswell. That's currently our best XI which highlights the need for a new centre half and striker.
