What team will Scott Parker pick for his first game.

[The Swan]

I don't have a clue what team he will pick. I just hope he plays our star players from last season in their best positions.

[Asotosyios]

Rico
Odoi, Nordtveit, Ream, Le Marchand
Chambers, Anguissa
Babel, Cairney, Sessegnon
Mitrovic

[ALG01]

If he picks anguisa i will worry.

[sunburywhite]

has to be chambers and Seri

Harsh, been one of our better players last two in my opinion.

[davew]

1 goalkeeper and 10 attackers because he hasn't been that influential about defence! Who cares now anyway, the season is over, topics are now being posted just for the sake of!

[Hatch007]

Surely he's got to drop Rico. He was woeful again last night. And I was there, not just judging by the highlights.

Fabri is no better at commanding the area, arguably worse. I'm still a fan of Betts although he's injured. Which leaves Rodak. Can we recall him from Rotherham? I seem to remember special dispensation being given to GK loan recalls

[Marinelloguthrie]

Rico
Odoi, nordtveit, chambers, marchand
Anguissa
Cairney, seri
Sess, mitro, babel

Maybe McDonald instead of Seri first halve..

These players are decent to good players and with a hopefully  newly instilled injection of passion and confidence from parker could put on a good display.

[MJG]

Well known I'm no fan of his but for some to decide on him.based on him picking one particular player is stupid.
So that it, he picks a player you don't like and that's it he's done in your eyes. Seriously what chance does anyone at the club have with views like that?

[MrFFC]

If I'm going to guess Parker line up v Chelsea I'm going to go

                        Rico

  Odoi   Nordtviet   Ream   Bryan

              McDonald Chambers

   Schurrle     Cairney      Sessegnon

                   Mitrovic

Subs - Fabri , Le Marchand , Seri , Anguissa , Markovic , Babel , Vietto

I am intrigued as to why you are so against his appointment. I know nothing of his coaching abilities but he can't be worse than CR

Curious why you picked Schurrle.   He has no intention of being with the club next season.   I'd pick Babel over him.

If we are playing Chelsea I would throw him on.  He is foaming at the mouth to score against them.

Because Babel is going to be here next season?
For what it's worth I think our best 11 for Chelsea is probably
Rico, Christie Chambers Nordtveit Bryan, Anguissa Seri Cairney, Babel Mitrovic Schurrle
Sess would get nod over Schurrle if it wasn't vs. Chelsea, Would also like to see Markovic given a go at some point.
I have a feeling Parker might start KMAC though.

[The Rational Fan]

If Scott Parker's smart, he will pick a team that will be seen as visionary if we lose. The games against Chelsea, Liverpool and ManCity will put some players on show that maybe get sold and also determine who is worth keeping if we get promoted again. Assuming some of the other lower ranked teams pull away from us and we are 13 points behind, then remaining games after that are just building the team for next year.

                   Fabri

SSess Chambers Norveidt RSess

             Cisse  Anguissa

Babel           Cairney     Kebano

                  Mitrovoic

Used Subs: Markovoic, McDonald and Atyie

I would also play Elliott, Torres and Riley as subs against Liverpool and ManCity if 15 points adrift

[grimmynz]

Is Mawson fit yet? If so I would have him back.

[The Rational Fan]

Is Mawson fit yet? If so I would have him back.

I wouldn't play him unless he is 100% fit, if he is fit to play now i'd still wait until at least Liverpool, ManCity or even Watford. The more he recovers the better for us next season, we need him next season.

Actually I think Babel will be here next season.   Now, your point is valid that neither he nor Schurrle will be under contract, but I'm thinking Babel would like to stay on in his later years.   I mean, it is London after all.

I think the offense does miss final product without Schurrle on the pitch, but I think they lose something from every other part of the game with the german playing significant minutes.

Babel is a worse player than schurrle and also has no intention of being here next year.

[St Eve]

Mitrovic, Cairney, Sess to start. Drop Rico. Then Chambers and McDonald. Not Christie. Odoi for his passion. Not Schurrie. Mawson if he is fit. That's a start
