Isn't Bale injured?

Personally I would go for:

Cudicini​

Hutton--Dervite--Chimbonda--Naughton​

Bentley--Boateng--O'Hara--Rose​

Crouch--Pav

Naughton played at left back for Sheff Utd a lot last season due to Kyle Walker.​

I'm thinking

Cudicini
Hutton-Chimbonda-Bassong-Naughton
Bentley-Boateng-O'Hara-Gio
Crouch-Pav


We dont want to be too weak at the back, Bassong should stay in the line-up imo. Dervite looked like a total liability in pre-season and I wouldn't be comfortable with him playing for us. As soon as Daws/Woody are back he has to go out on loan again.

Hutton--Dervite--Chimbonda--Naughton


dos santos --Bentley--O'Hara--Rose


Crouch--Pav

aside from KPB not sure who else we have available to us - livemore, bostock, parrett?. I thought bale, dawson and woodgate were all out due to injury. Keane and Corluka on the bench just in case?​

Cudicini
Hutton Corluka Bassong Naughton
Bentley KPB O'Hara Rose
Crouch Pav

Subs: Button, BAE, Lennon, Palacios, GDS, Keane, Defoe

  • Corluka and Bassong to develop a little more understanding of each others game
  • Naughton as said already played LB, we can see if he's any good as possible BAE replacement if said is injured or for the ANC
  • And a strong bench if the team doesnt perform as wanted, dont want a bumper on our confidence because of this game losing

i dont think there will be wholesale changes but a few rested and other bought in, I'm sure Harry will want to keep the squad gelling and playing together not having 2 XI's.

Lennon, Keane, King (obviously) and probably Defoe will be rested with other youngsters on the bench as the subs in the last couple of games get a run out.

We need to win CC so harry will only change the starting team by 3 to 4 players at most with big guns on the bench just in case.

Cudicini
Hutton....Chimbonda....Bassong....Naughton
Bentley....Boeteng....O'Hara....Giovani Dos Santos
Pavyluchenko....Crouch

Difficult not knowing who will be available though. Not sure when Bale is expected back, but if he's available then i'd play him at left back. If Dawson or Woodgate are fit i'd start them in place of Chimbonda. If Jenas is fit i'd start him in place of O'Hara.​

I think we will see wholesale changes for this, the players likely to face Brum have had a tough week.

Carlo

Hutton
Charlie
Chimbo
Naughton

Bentley
KPB
O'Hara
Gio

Crouch
Pav


We may be the first team in history to field a back 4 of RB's.

As much as I'd really love to see Gio play, I get the feeling Arry just dont like him (I hope I'm wrong). I wonder if he's got a thing for much older women like Rooney and slipped Sandra one?
