------------------------------Pires(AM)------------------------------------

Reyes----------------------------------------------------------Ljungberg

-----------------------------Gilberto(DM)----------------------------------

That's a very attacking front 6, but it might be the formation we are forced into if Paddy leaves.

Personally, I now think that Cesc will start alongside Gilberto cos they both played very well together in Cardiff.
The only problem with that is trying to accomodate Reyes, Henry, Bergkamp, Pires and Ljungberg in the same side. I would perhaps be tempted to leave Henry on the bench against Everton, as he has only played 45 minutes of footie since Euro 2004. Also, I thought that Reyes and Bergkamp looked in great form.

Neither Pires, Henry or Ljungberg will be fully match sharp against Everton I think, so I would not be surprised if Wenger only picked one of those three, making use of those who have imprssed most during pre-season- Bergkamp, Reyes, Gilberto, Fabregas, Pennant, Van Persie.

It's a great dilemma to have. We have so many verstaile attacking options now, so Wenger is spoilt for choice.

Hmm, diamond formation, looks interesting.

I can actually see that happening JC. We might start with the same lineup as the Community shield, with Henry off, Reyes upfront, and Pires on the left. I don't think Freddie is fit enough to play at all. And Henry is not match fit, whereas at least Pires played vs Ajax.

hmm
How about Freddie as a CM with Gilberto.. Pennant and Pires on the flanks and Bergkamp and Reyes up front, assuming that our main man Henry isnt fit enought yet.

Freddie can be a good ball-winner in the middle , the way he hustles the opposition allows him to do that.

Trust you. I bet you were the class clown :wink:

 

[towelie]

That's true, but I don't think it is wise to let Cesc be there alone against Gravesen. The man is a monster. He always looks like he's on drugs.

hahahaha

let me tell you something about me, joe rogan. i smoke rocks

 

[jester]

with that diamond formation i'd rather see:

--------------------henry----------------reyes-----------------------

-------------------------- bergkamp----------------------------------

-pires-------------------------------------------ljunberg/pennant

---------------------------gilberto-----------------------------------


that'd be my choice. this is because bergy will fill the attacking role well, more of the play maker. i'd rather see pires on left and reyes up front. reyes is twice the player he is upfront

 

[RocktheCasbah]

Boy, that's a kickass front 6! I'd love to see that.

Then you could swap RvP on at HT for Bergy, and play him where he wants to play. Behind the strikers.

[shaz]

despite trying to bolster the squad, it now looks thinner than last year :roll: :cry:

anyways, two things id like to say. first thing, although i joked about svard, i do think his a viable option. but thats just my opinion, and i wanted to share it.

second thing, what does everyone think of this idea. put ashley right in central midfield and clichy in his position.

it could work, ashley is used to running up and down the field, can defend quite well. his passing is solid, and being in that position might better his defence skills. the only thing i would say is that, becase in CM theres alot of tackles flying in, he might lose his temperament.

Latest news on the injury front..

Henry still troubled

That's makes the team selection easier.

Lehman

Lauren Toure Cygan Cole

Ljungberg Gilberto Cesc (Flamini if registered) Pires

Bergkamp Reyes

 

[efurze]

I doubt Cesc will start - he's not ready, despite what the optimists think of Sunday's practice-squad game. Only if their are no other options. If Henry is hurt the midfield will be:

Pennant Gilberto Pires Freddie

Otherwise

Freddie Gliberto Pires Reyes

I'd prefert to have Cesc or Ljungberg in central midfield instead of Pires.

If Flamini is not available I'd definitely go for Cesc, if he can play like that against Manure why the hell can't he do it again against the sorry toffees?
