Sorensen
Wilko - Shawcross - Wilson - Muniesa
Palacios - Whelan
Pennant - Ireland - Assaidi
Crouch
Bench: Butland, Dawson, Keane, Alabi, Shea, Walters, Etherington
With Shea on for Assaidi after 60 mins or so. If we are winning comfortably in the last 20 minutes or so, give one or two of the youngsters a feel of first team action. I'd put Ethers on the bench, as I'd like him to start next weekend ahead of Walters, with Arnie on the right.

I'd like to see Muniesa, Assaidi and Shea given minutes above all.

Is Assaidi injured? Seems to be totally out of the picture! Why a loan in the first place if he isn't seen as good enough?

First and foremost we need to win. But I'm going with the expectation of a bit of experimentation. I don't know enough about Tranmere, but my radar is picking up that they are attempting to play a bit of football. Which is good, sometimes I fear Cup ties against teams of lesser ability because it can result in a bit of unsettling truculence and even knocks to key players. There are loads of competing interests of who to play. That's the beauty of a competitive squad. As stated above there are players who I would love to see given a go in this context.
Those who I havn't seen enough of yet:
Arnautovic Ireland Shea Muniesa Assaidi Ness Edu Palacios
I'd start with Jones as he proved against Walsall he's too much of an handful at this level. I'd love to see us roll em, bag a few confidence boosting goals. 3-5-2
Sorenson Wilko Shawcross Muniesa Palacios Ness Assaidi Ireland Arnautovic Jones Shea
Pennant, Edu, Adam, Cameron, Wilson, Crouch, Butland, Walters, Whelan, Ethers. {N'Zonzi, Huth, Pieters and Bego can chill.}
|
|

Post by RichardTMP on Sept 24, 2013 9:29:00 GMT
Sorensen Wilkinson Shawcross Keane Pieters Whelan Palacios Ireland Pennant Shea Crouch
Would bring on Assaidi, Arnautovic and Alabi, three attacking changes and go and get some goals.

The thought of Crouch playing the lone striker fills me with dread though, he just isn't suited to it. I'd play Walters with him and not play him against Norwich.

If Crouch is playing, I wouldn't want him as a lone striker perhaps someone running off him, so id try Arnie out there & see how he gets on! When JP came on sunday, Arnie was given a free role & he looked so much better doing that.

I wouldn't play Crouch, particularly if Hughes is now convinced that he has little or nothing to offer in league fixtures.
I would start with;
Sorenson Wilko, Huth, Shawcross, Muniesa (if fit) Palacios, Whelan, Ireland Pennant, Arnie (for at least an hour), Assaidi
That way, we give Arnie more game time, getting him used to the pace of the English game and we also get the chance to take a look at him in a central role, which he may or may not be suitable for long-term.
We know exactly what Crouch can give us and if we can't beat Tranmere with that starting 11, then some of those players should be looking at dropping down a division or two to ply their trades.

Do we know whether Arnie wants to play down the middle or even if he has played there? I'd be concerned at having no orthodox target man (even if it was only Walters) and I'd hesitate in possibly playing Arnie out of position, Tranmere or not

We don't know do we but equally we don't know that Arnie didn't tell Hughes, when they met prior to signing, that ultimately he wants to be a striker.
Hughes seemed happy enough that he could fill any position across the front 3 so why not, given our current problems in that position.
He isn't small and he isn't weak and given the way we are playing, he clearly has good enough feet to hold the ball and the pace to work the channels from a central position.
If we are going to try him in that position, then when better to start than tomorrow.
Our orthodox target men haven't pulled up any trees have they so I don't see what we have to lose personally. If it means Crouch has to play, then I'm all for giving Arnie a shot down the middle.
I really hope I never have to see Crouch in a Stoke shirt again. He is the pits!

Arnautovic is striker or second striker. He doesn't play out wide, and if he did his power and eye for goal would be wasted
