Howay 12496 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Now we're left with Shola, Best, Ranger and Lovenkrands who do people reckon should be the starting 2? (unless they go with 5 in midfield) I'm in two minds tbh, not sure if we go with the immense pairing of Shola and Best or if we now put all our faith into Ranger coming good. I'll probably have Shola up front as the main 'threat' and then alternate between Best and Ranger until one of them starts showing them self to be more deserving, I know Ranger's a loon and Best is apparently a proper professional but I don't think it's in any doubt that Ranger has more potential, Lovenkrands as far away from the 1st team as possible in all. Nee idea what's in the reserves btw, maybe someone who watches them will know better about Airey etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4851 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Im sure he'll continue with Ameobi and Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22185 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 has to go to 5 in midfield when ireland's back. lovelyhands and best are bench warmers at best in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6785 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Lovenkrands might not be the greatest at getting involved in play but he does make good runs and can finish much better than Ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye tbh you're right, I can see him sticking with Best and Shola but we really have to play 5 midfielders especially when Ben Arfa and Ireland come back.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Bet the Arsenal defenders are having nightmares about playing against that forward line. Has the Fulham defence trembling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaythesouthernmag 0 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ameobi as a lone striker due to his lazy arseness won't work. Best can't cut it and Lovenkrands is powder puff. Ranger can't score and that plays on his mind but would put a shift in. If we play a 2 then its Ranger and Ameobi, if its a 5 man midfield then Ranger supported by Nolan and Ireland in the middle with Tiote. Hope Ranger gets a goal soon to boost his confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4851 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Best should be fired up to hell and back. No Carroll coming back, getting fitter all the time and some great players around and coming in to set the goals up. Now or never for you lad.

vinnieq 0 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ya i reckon Ranger will net a few this season yet.. Best has got a goal or two in him too.. The service won't get any worse.. That's one of the main things.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My moneys on never but really hope I'm wrong In fairness his hat trick was well taken and his fitness will be improving with every game. Being able to finish is one thing and being fit enough to get into positions is another. Having creative people around should also help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many optimists does it take to screw in a light bulb? None. They're convinced that the power will come back on soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7084 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Not wishing to sound bitter, but I will; it doesn't fucking matter. This lot are mediocre but if any of them came good they'd be off, as would anyone else we bring in. We won't pay wages to compete and won't pay the going rate to bring anyone quality in. We are a nursery for profit. Supporting this club feels like the most pointless, painful and ridiculous thing I do, and the competition is stiff.

Billy Castell 0 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Here's your team's ideal formation GK CB/CB/CB Barton/Nolan/Tchiote/Enrique or Gutierrez* Best/Ranger/Shola *=I can never remember which one is a winger. Barton and Nolan attack from midfield to push up with the 3 strikers, with the left winger bombing forward. Alternitavely, drop Best for Ireland, who'll also be an attacking midfielder. Alright, it will leave you exposed, but if you play all 3, one might score. I'm not mocking your team, but attempting to work out how to get the best out of a bad bunch.

The more pessimism like this I see, the quicker it helps my eternal optimism bubble back to the surface. 6 months ago we brought two great quality players in. Even the great Man U lost Teves and Ronaldo All clubs lose big players. Unfortunately this is part and parcel of modern football. And remember, over 50% of this forum think we were right to take the money. (not me btw). Chin up and get a happy avatar man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
