Team against West Ham - Saturday 15/12/18

[WhiteJC]

after the 1st half horror show against ManU the team played much better in the 2nd half, also getting a second goal in two games AK47 must have earned a starting place. Seri needs some time on the bench, he's a better player than we've seen so far, its just not working at the moment.

Rico

Christie          Odoi          Mawson          Bryan

Chambers          KMac

AK47          Cairney          Sessegnon

Mitro

Subs: Betts, Ream, MLM, Cisse, Seri, Shurrle

[Snibbo]

I'd really like to see MLM alongside Mawson

I'd really like to see MLM alongside Mawson

I don't think Mawson is comfortable at RCB, barely played there over the last few years.

Hence, I'd go for the defence that was starting to work:

Rico

Christie Odoi Mawson Le Marchand

Chambers Seri

Kamara Cairney Sessegnon

Mitrovic

Even though I don't rate Kamara, hard not to start him atm.

Bench: Betts, Ream, Bryan, McDonald, Johansen, Ayite, Schurrle.

Odoi          Le Marchand          Mawson          Bryan

                    Chambers         

AK47           Seri     Cairney          Sessegnon

                          Mitro

I'd go with this.

[Moltobueno]

Maybe worth to try 4-1-4-1, leaves more options for Cairney and Seri to help Mitro in turns while one can always stay deeper:
                            Rico

Christie       Odoi          Mawson           Bryan

                       Chambers

Kamara       Cairney       Seri          Sessegnon

                         Mitrovic


Subs: Bettinelli, MLM, Ream, Johansen, Vietto, Kebano


EDIT: FFC1987 beat me with the formation already :D

[alfie]

Strange all the moans about Seri yet still included in most teams.

[Spirit of 2000]

If all fit

                                                                  Rico
                                            Christie   Mawson    Ream    Bryan
                                                       KMac    Chambers
                                            Kamara                                Sessegnon
                                                                 Cairney
                                                                 Mitrovic

Subs Betts, Odoi, MLM, StefJo, Seri, Vietto, Schurrle (Would bring him on in the 10 role if TC not performing)

[FFC1987]

Strange all the moans about Seri yet still included in most teams.

Even if people thought he had a bad game, who replaces him or is considered better than him in this squad?

We're going to composure in the midfield against West Ham. So I'm somewhat recreating our 3 midfield of Cairney and Johansen on opposite sides. West Ham have playmakers, now we do too, with a destroyer in Chambers to play that KMac role. The key will be Kamara and Sess tucking central, and forward, when we're in the attack. We can also do many things with this formation, from slotting to a 4-4-2 with our Chambers and Johansen covering the wings, similar to what we do already. I want to keep Mawson at LCB, and put MLM at RCB where he's played for Nice before. I hate to keep Mitro isolated, but he will have many options in 5-man midfield.

4-5-1

                          Rico

                        Mitro 

Subs: Betts, Schurrle, Cisse, KMac, Seri, Vietto, Odoi

[F.luke]

Don't mind anyone as long as Seri is not in the team - needs a spell on the bench

[KJS]

I just cannot believe how many would play KMac he has become a carthorse!!

Left footed CB at RCB is often a formula for failure.

[F.luke]

Rather have a carthorse giving 100% than a someone that doesn't give a dam

[KJS]

KMac is past it and should be sold ASAP along with Ream both are not up to it at this level. 

[Bassey the warrior]

Same line up as vs Southampton. Bryan if MLM not fit.
