Butland
Staffi Shawcross Indi Bauer
Ndiaye
Shaq Allen CHEAP Motel
Diouf
I think the above is the most attacking team we can probably put out. I don't like Cheapo but I can't think of anyone to replace him

What does anyone really know about Ireland except he plays abou twice a season whether he is fit or not and he likes to strut about with dangerous dogs in Burberry gear like he's king of the chavs? I suspect he is part of the problem not the solution known for having a shit attitude everywhere he has been. Can't be any worse though eh.

If anything should happen to Shaq he should be straight in the team in the no 10 role.

If anything should happen to Shaq he should be straight in the team in the no 10 role. His attitude has always been under question but I'll admit he was an important player for the initial transition under Hughes. However he has done nothing for 2 years now and it's not just injuries that has kept him out. Even when he got games he was never a fixture in the team. On a side note, players like him and Muniesa are part of the reason why the team never found any consistency under Hughes, even when things were good. You cannot depend on injury prone players.

It was then when I suggested playing Stafylidis as a wide midfield player on the left. Bauer did great on Saturday on the right and Stafylidis can do the same on the left. We need pace in the front two and really it comes down to not dropping Shaqiri and then a choice of one from Diouf, Berahino or Choupo. It doesn't ooze goals but Campbell should be on the bench.

I think he’s been a bit unlucky. In the third season his arrival from the bench at Spurs changed the game then Hughes went out of his way not to use him. He was very useful at Old Trafford this season and again hasn’t been used. I don’t think many teams below the top six manage to retain consistent good form do they?

Yes that's what they don't finish in the top 6 I suppose. But Southampton, West Ham and of course Leicester all managed more impressive seasons than our consistently high-end mediocrity under Hughes. The lack of plan A was always a problem for Hughes and Ireland should never have been part of it anyway in my opinion. Decent first season, then 0 goals in 30 appearances over two seasons. Then 1 Prem appearance in the last two years. No wonder he looked up for it could be another two years before he gets a game

Two banks of four defending, pace on the counter.
All of that XI will also give a shit.

No wonder he looked up for it could be another two years before he gets a game I think there was very much a Plan A in the first couple of seasons and Ireland played his part in that. Again, he can consider himself unlucky not to have featured more. He’s flaky and unreliable but for free has done a decent job and is a clever player (on the pitch at least) and we could’ve used some of that nous.

Yeah well he's nailed on to start and score a hat trick now I've said all that anyway. Can't be any worse so why not.

Diouf is shit up front and is decent on the wing, Shaqiri is best in the middle. Ramadan just needs to get into his stride. Bauer is the best RB and should be played there, there's a mistake in Johnson and Edwards isn't ready yet. Crouch isn't ideal but he's still the best striker on the books and he'll be fired up against his old club.

Perhaps not against Spurs and there's an element of horses for courses.
Jack Zouma Shawcross Bruno Bauer Allen Badou Staffy Shaq Berahino Jese
Crouch and Chopper off the bench.
Don't want to see Crouch as starter.
Thought Ireland's build up play vs Man U was sweet enough and he does get in some good spaces/positions. but we did lose thre nil, his total ineptitude in front of goal, two great opportunities fluffed epitomised his frustrating time here for me. I don't much like the idea of Ireland, Shaq and Allen on the pitch together, too diminutive against most Prem midfields. Wouldn't be against subbing him on for Shaq if needed. Nowt more.
