Starting 11 Vs QPR?

I really feel sorry for you guys, you've been really unlucky with injuries and the season hasn't even started yet.

I hope we manage to agree some sort of deal for Cahill which involves us loaning you guys a few quality youngsters.

Good luck this season, I'm almost certain you guys will stay up

Thanks Kam. Only problem with what you've said is that PL rules would only allow you to loan us a single player.

You could always lend us RVP or Arshavin

Worrying, I think it will be a similar team to the one that got outplayed by Levante, however, I would like this:

Jussi

Steinsson
Cahill
Wheater
Robbo

Eagles
Pratley
Reo Coker
Mavies
Petrov

Klasnic

Get Mavies on the ball, he can create, Pratley will always support the striker and Reo Coker can sit

That to me is a perfect formation for the players available.

I we are going to line up 4-4-2 its all OC plays wouldnt mind a 4-3-3 though with NRC sitting Pratley and Mavis in front and a forward 3 of Eagles Klasnic/Davies and Petrov and play very attacking see f we can put them under pressure.

Coyle has worked on a 451 formation this pre season.

I would hope we play:

Bogdan

Alonso
Wheater
Cahill
Steinsson

Eagles
Pratley
Mavies
Reo-Coker
Petrov

Klasnic

Obviously a bit different, but this way we would keep the ball down on the floor, using Klasnic' classy touch and play to create chances, rather than Davies flick ons etc. Having Mavies behind Klas and leaving Pratley to play the box to box role with Big Nige doing his defensive covering which he does so well. Eagles and Petrov using through balls would be more effective than crossing.....i dont know why im analysing this cos its clearly never going to happen.
