Spuds have scored in the day’s big game, might have been Soldado I missed it. May have fell asleep a little.

PEN-daldo scores… 1-0 Tot’nam…

Liverpool’s lack of players, with 16/7 players available, is showing major fatigue against a much larger squad that seems to have their rotation system working well. Going to be a long and hard second half for the Reds it seems.

I hope Oscar bags a goal, in a 3-3 draw.. the key word here being “hope”
TheDreamers
Oscar is well under-rated. could be a double up mid with Hazard come wildcard
jamesimmo
Shame I don’t have Hazard.. dumoed him in GW 7 for Oscar just as one picked up and he other slowed down! Ah well, the WC can maybe fix that..

EVERY1 IS GETTING INJURED:
STURRIDGE
AGUERO
OZIL
GERRARD
RAMSEY
ITS SO FRUSTRATING!
TheDreamers
Nin – your 3:5:2 option is becoming more and more appealing as the mids do the business, especially with Ageuro still out
Hannibal Lecter
Dreamers – when we 1st mentioned it around here with NIN, people were very conservative about it…
Nevertheless – waiting for that Jan VC impatiently and will switch to a 3-5-2 w/in a lightning second
:satansmoking:
TheDreamers
when push comes to shove, im not sure ill do it, but defo worth considering
redmecca
Would you care to postulate on what that team might look like?
Hannibal Lecter
Krul
Kosc/Debuschy/Evans
Silva/Haz/Gerrard/Wally/Januzaj (or a diff. 5th mid)
Suarez/Roo or Suarez/Kun + Jay Rodriguez…
redmecca
I probably can’t afford that….LOL!!

HL take that 3-5-2 team and compare it to this 3-4-3 team, which do you prefer?
Krul -Mannone/WW
Burner – Chester – Coleman – Shaw – Gabbidon
Hazard – Silva – Walcott – Sissoko – Bannan/Mutch
Suarez – Aguero – Rooney
Hannibal Lecter
Hmmm…
Still think I will choose my team above…
Reasons – better defense…slightly better mid…
gives more options to toggle between 3-5-3 & 3-4-3…
With urs – u ll have to bench a veeeeeery expensive forward and play a Bannan/Sissoko & Mutch in your mid…don’t prefer that option to be honest…looks too weak for my stomach…
redmecca
Silly question, but who is Burner?
Is it a nickname?
Desmo
it’s ben turner of cardiff

HL I would obviously not have Aguero until he’s fit, this is a potential WC team. Your defenders are obviously from better teams, but we’ve seen this season that cheap defenders also can keep clean sheets – Palace and Cardiff have 5, while Hull have 6. Newcastle and United have both kept 6 while Arsenal have 8. Does Does Merte playing for a team with 2 more CS than Chester justify him costing 2.3m more? Not in my opinion – the money can be better invested elsewhere.
So the real question is this: which trio is preferable, Gerrard and a rotation between Januzaj and J. Rod or Sissoko and Aguero with Mutch/Bannan on the bench? In fact, if Aguero drops enough and I can raise enough money until he’s fit, I could have Cabaye instead of Sissoko.
Hannibal Lecter
Tekno – well, we’ll have a lot to think about, at least…
My thoughts are – no way I’m going with Roo/Kun/Goofy upfront, as it has tied up too much cash and I was always making changes here and there…
About everything else – there are many options open as to the back 4 and the 5th mid (the rest are keepers for me, at least)…
So, we’l see…

Who is filling in for the Ramires position? Oscar?

David Luiz
