What would be your derby lineup?

[davek]

Or take out Pienaar, slot in Deulofeu and move the wingers forward for a 4-3-3.

I wouldn't start out with that, but if you're chasing the game, maybe.

 

[SteKelly]

We just need that first goal to settle everyones nerves.

 

[Furey1878]

I HATE these matches. I'm already nervous FFS.

Anyway, with the below lineup, we can't lose...



Southall

Baines
Lescott
Watson
Coleman

Carsley
McCarthy

Kanchelskis
Cahill
Naismith

Ferguson
Cadamateri




That team would win the derby. If for no other reason than I've named 12 players.

Awesome team lid.

I'd slot Hyypia in at CB though, he might bag us a goal from a corner.

Haha good shout! I wish I was a bit older and could've put Sharpey up front but I guess we can save that for the away fixture!

Agree with this. I don't rate Naismith at all but Mirallas has been absolutely pathetic this season and Deulofeu isn't up to starting a normal game at the moment, let alone the Derby.

I'd like to see that for a game where we should be hammering teams. E.g Palace last Saturday. But I think Deulofeu and this season's Mirallas will be liabilities in the derby if they start.

 

[Christiffa25]

Howard
Coleman jags distin baines
McCarthy Barry
Naismith Barkley pienaar

Really wouldn't normally pick Naismith but mirallass has been pants, and this game just has Naismith's name written all over it.

 

[Walken]

To be fair the only other option is Magaye Gueye.

I think Mikey rates Magaye Gueye

 

[FTY]

I'd go:

Howard

Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines

McCarthy Barry

Pienaar Barkley Mirallas

Lukaku

Bring on Osman, Naismith and Deulofeu later on. Osman & Naismith because they know what it means and can be decent off the bench, Deulofeu because their left backs are sh*te.

12 players though mate?

 

[zandvoort blue]

Howard
Hibbo Jags Distin Baines

subs on 60' from Coleman Mirallas Pienaar Velios Osman etc.

Tactics : Go for the throat from the off - sit back at any time and they'll do us, I think.
We have enough to deal with them on the counter, the f*cking beauts.
Get Hibbo to grock Suarez and Barry to do Gerrard
Play for an hour with the crowd screaming blue murder, and try and nick a lead

 

[maddison]

Or take out Pienaar, slot in Deulofeu and move the wingers forward for a 4-3-3.

I think we've looked a bit stale of late, with a formation change possibly offering to breathe some life into us and make us a tad less predictable. With the Knunts SAS duo slotting them for fun of late, I'd not want to tinker with out back four at all. They on the other hand have a shakey back line I reckon we can get stuck right into. I'd sit Barry in the centre, think it's too much of an ask to put Barkley there at the moment, and play Mcarthy and Barkley along side him.

Coleman. Jags Distinct. Baines
McCarthy Barry Barkley
Barca Tank Mirallas

Martinez won't play it, but I'd like to see it.
