Midfield all of a sudden looking quite strong.

I don't think that Mcphail will get into this team. Personally I think it should be Whitts and Olifa in the centre.

What would be your starting line up in midfield with everyone fit?

Koumas left
Olofinjana Centre
Whitts Centre
Burke right

I think that has a bit of everything.

Koumas floating behind the strikers

Whitts or Burke out wide

Olifinjani running the show

Drinkwater doing loads of running covering tackling in behind

Anyone who says I'm wrong knows f**k all about football.

So there.

Oh and Gavin Raye Centre Forward ;)

Just one wide player?

You're wrong :ayatollah:

Unfortunately now we're in the perfect situation - Our midfield is really strong, so we don't know who to play where.

I'd play Whitts on the left, Oli and Koumas in the middle, and Burke on the right. Drinkwater is a wicked player, but Oli and Koumas are better.

To be honest though mate, most teams now only play with one real
wide man

With Drinkwater prowling around in front of defence and supporting Olifinjani
in the middle of midfield you could have Burke (for instance) wide on the right
and Koumas left midfield free to cut inside and wreak havoc.

If we get it right, get a bloody good centre back in and give Drinkwater that
holding role then the skys the limit. Otherwise we would just be using Olifinjani
in a holding role and i dont think we need to :ayatollah:

drinkwater and oli looked very tidy together, dont fix anything thats not broken
just play 4-4-2 and keep it simple, oli knows when to release the ball, just up to the strikers to time there runs better and we'll be banging in the goals again
as for the back four, needs a lot of sorting out but looks like kev, darcy, gypes, matthews for me
