As we've bought more and more people, I'm wondering what Harry's ideal team would be. I've seen some articles talking about Harry deploying a 3-5-2 formation, which I'm not sure will work. I have always loved a 3-5-2, but our defensive record is already pretty weak. But I thought I would put out some of my thoughts on the teams, tell me what you think.
3-5-2
Cudicini (I've never rated Gomes, and would certainly prefer Carlo at this point)
Corluka, Woodgate, King/Dawson (Dawson would be the most used option, with King limited so much. At least we have 4 quality center backs.)
Lennon, Palacios, Zokora/Jenas, Modric, Bentley/O'Hara (When O'Hara is fit I think Harry will use him out wide, but Bentley would do well, and of course we have Bale, BAE and Chimbonda could be wing backs.)
Defoe, Pavy
4-4-2
Cudicini
Corluka, Woodgate, Dawson/King, BAE/Chimbonda (I have a feeling Harry is going to play him here a lot.)
Lennon, Palacios, Modric, Bentley/O'Hara/Jenas (Harry keeps rating Zokora, so I think he would be deployed, but I would not put two similar players out there.)
Defoe, Pavy
I have no idea what Harry is going to do, I'm interested to see what is going to happen at Bolton this Saturday. Jenas will be fit, and I think he plays well in the team, but I don't think we'll see him in the starting 11.
No word on transfers, other than us possibly buying Santa Cruz, which I think is a pipe dream. Why spend another 20 million on a striker? But we'll see.

I say go with 4-4-2...Cudicini in goal.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Natalie, it's probably the best set up.
