So breaking it down
ben arfa, cabaye crap players who dont warrant a DM?
Lennon and townsend provided plenty of assists and goals for us?
How many threads about we lack creativity?
Townsend first name on the team sheet, errrr why? 40 shots 1 goal and 0 assists. no thanks
Newcastle will come, park the bus and hope cabaye and arfa can create something on the break.
The back six if fit should pick themselves.
Loris
Walker, chir, daws, verts.
Capoue or Sandro.
The next 4 are the creative lot.
Lamela should be the first name here, the boy is on fire, more of the same please.
Paul if fit
Personally i would play erickson and holtby here, intelligent players who have set up goals and can score goals.
Siggy deserves a mention here, if not holtby or erickson, siggy should get the nod here, he scores its that simple.
Townsend and lennon to come on later, if we get an early goal and newcastle have to open and play.
But i will support any team AVB chooses to play.

how does he not have the skill set to play on the left where he started out?
Sorry Chris
Townsend has had plenty of game time and is not producing.
I think the more he plays with likes of holtby erickson and lamela the more he will learn.
its time to play the intelligent players and get the team scoring.
Townsend at this present time does not have enough in his locker to pick the lock, of park the bus teams.
I think he could become a very talented player for us.

Do you remember when Bale went 20 odd games without a win at Spurs we knew though he had talent.

Townsends is showing great talent, still finding his productive stats but its funny that his dribbles forward ain't counted as productive nevertheless so far this season he deserve to start games...Imo is showing great progress.

Soldado does not agree, did you watch the everton game?

NOT A Lot that being the point.


It was a good result we lost there last season and the season before.

By the way I don't think anyone should view Townsend
a hindrance to Lemale's progression or the team scoring goals, he is doing wel and taking his chance.

To be frank Soldado has to do much more he can't be like a Darren Bent type striker.

Don't think Newcastle have the players to park the bus. Could suit us for a change. Only worry is Remys pace.

40 shots 1 goal 0 assists, if thats your opinion of a good player were going nowhere.
Lamela right or townsend, lamela every time.
To deny this would laughable.

We dominated Everton in the first half and should have won.
We were awful in the final third, and yes the AM 3 were at fault.
If you cannot see this, sorry you must be blind

Lloris
Walker Dawson Chiriches Vertonghen
Sandro..... Paulinhio
Lamela............Erikson........ Townsend
Soldado
I just feel Dembele slows/gets in the way of the build up with Lamela and Erikson, so I would drop him here and go with this line up.

Why not both Lamela and Townsend? That a hard concept?
I dont see AVB ditching the inverted wingers, do you?
If not its Townsend or Lamela, or move lamela to the number 10, which i prefer actually

One will be inverted though so not dropping the whole idea.. Plus pretty sure Lennon wouldn't be playing on the left and instead on right if it wasn't for Townsends good form on the right

Quite frankly i dont know how lennon even gets a game based on merit, it baffles me.
Will have to see tomorrow about the winger thing

I agree with this and if Townsend is not producing then switch to Lennon- Lamela- Eriksen
