Our system needs a pacey striker, if Jones can't be arsed then Arnie is the best choice, Crouch needs a 4-4-2 to do anything

Lets hope this experiment works as defeat today and no goals is really going to have a big effect on confidence both on and off the pitch

Big risk with no Crouch or Jones at set plays with the threat of Hangeland and Senderos but lets hope it proves to be a masterstroke.

Tuncay is better than Ireland for now. With Hughes that tuncay will play every match. Heaven help us then, because Tuncay is one of the least effective players I have seen at SCFC. Because he played in a sky football sistem and without the ball at his feet. With this manager he will be a good player to play behind the striker

Cameron Jerome starts for Palace though.

Great! a recovering Walters on the wing, Ethers who hasn't scored or made an assist since the season before last, Pennant must be well pleased

He is still settling and has shown only glimpses of what we need. We'll never know unless we give him a chance? Jones hasn't really done much has he? Even coming from the wing Arnie has hit the post If i had my way Jerome would be recalled and he'd replace Jones, we're not exactly rolling in striking potential at the moment

That team is not exactly overflowing with goals!
No recognised striker.
Looks like a bit of an experiment to me. Fingers crossed!

Big risk with no Crouch or Jones at set plays with the threat of Hangeland and Senderos but lets hope it proves to be a masterstroke. Haangeland has been dominant in the air every time we've played Fulham in the past so maybe MH has decided not to compete? Could be good could be a disaster as you say big risk. Interesting tho.

He has mate and that's what concerns me but I suppose N'Zonzi and Shawcross could mark him although I hope N'Zonzi doesn't start handing off Ruiz again like last season

Out of the two, I'd prefer Walters up top and keep arnie on the "wing".

Wow Arnie upfront good news Why is it ? He has no great form as a striker I hope it works truly I do but really worrying that we are having to do this so early in the season given the fact we knew 18 months ago we needed a striker I went for a ciggy after the thread was posted. While watching the cats chase moths around the veranda I thought much the same. We've played yonks and yonks with a focal point of our attack (Big Someone or Other), this will be a big ask of the new system and the (old) players. Not a bad game to try it, but I expected hughesy to go the other way, after last week, and be a bit more 4-4-fookin-2 this week. But he's surprised me (again) by going even more 4-3-3. (I would imagine Arnie and SUPER Jon ... and Ringtone to a lesser extent ... will be swapping about a lot. And playing narrow. No point trying for - byline - crosses with this line up) The bench doesn't look like a match winner, does it? The inclusion of the two current Big Someone or Others seems more about egos than sense? (We are a little bit of a hospital case at the moment, aren't we? A bit patched up ... creeking at the seems)

Pennant was one of the worst last week and considering how utterly shit we were, that's saying something. We don't know if Walters is playing on the wing yet, do we?

Pennant has lost a lot of pace and he wasn't place greatly beforehand - he AND Ethers simply can no longer take a man on and beat them Given the lack of pace in general (and lets face it the front three today are unlikely to feature in the next 100m final) then why not give Assadi a start ? Oh and Brek Shea must be shit We really do seem to have a very limited squad all of a sudden
