4-3-3

I'm starting to think this will be our new formation especially if Bellamy signs.

We know MM likes a narrow midfield so can have three tight but with Beller and Kim having a good work ethic and liking to join up with attack.

Kim from the Switzerland game played left but ASAP moved central and took some great positions.

..................Marshall...................

mcnaughton...hudson...turner....taylor

gunnarson........Mutch.......Whittingham

Kimbo.......Mason...........Bellamy

providing we could keep the ball on the bloody floor i think this line up could be leathal at home

and ofcourse providing kimbo gets his paperwork through {didnt cambell rice go wrong for arsenal after not issuing his work permit after signing for them so they had to loan him out didnt they?!? } and ofcourse providing bellers rumour is true

Agreed. Would be much more effective at home, just going for it and seeing attacking football.

I agree 4 3 3 would be an exciting prospect.......
But can't help feeling a 4 5 1 will be more the Malky approach.
How do you accommodate Gunnarson Whitts and Kimbo in the centre?

That's what I mean, I think Kim may play left and move inside from the left, a bit like Cowie but more attacking ability, then witts Mutch and Gunnar in the middle.

We have (will if certain players sign) some great options but key to all of them for me is, KEEP THE BALL DOWN.

Yeah thats a fair shout.But what excites me even more is the fact that this season he'll have a bench to make an impact if needed.

.................Velikonja..................

We don't exactly have a loan striker type player at the club though.

Mason is the closest we have

Gestede and Earnshaw can't play on their own and Velikonja has always played with a target man with himin his career.

So if we are going to go this way that mean's he's leaving out 3 current strikers (4 if he brings another one in) Or if he players: Mason, Bellamy and Kim behind a lone striker that he'd have to pick 2 from: Kiss, Gunnarson, Whitts, Mutch, Ralls, McPhail and Cowie (depending on what Cowie's role is this season).

Personally I don't know what he's going to play. 2 Central Midfielder's does seem a bit light though with just Whitts and Gunnarson but you can't see either of them making way either.

think it will be a hard to beat 4-5-1 formation

Going to be a toughie to choose from, got some quality players in! Still hoping to see Kadeem get a run, hes going to be a top player i think!

Fair play,like that too.Mutch and Cowie sharing the work load would work well imo.

What, no mason? Mason was outstanding last season imo

This except I think Mutch will be further forward than Whitts and a marquee striker instead of Velo

4-5-1 when we havent got the ball bursting into a quick 4-3-3 when on the attack.

This is my selection;

Bench;
Lewis
Blake
Mystery Defender
Conway
Cowie
Etien
Mason
