Team Formation for rest of season

[Bails]

Depending on whether Bale will be fit and on whether one of our strikers remarkably goes on a goal scoring run, I believe the team should be sent out like this:

West Brom, Blackpool, Birmingham
All must wins- need to get 9 points from these home games and we are likely to have more possession than the away games. We need to make it count and so I would go for:

Gomes
Kaboul Dawson Gallas Bale
VDV Huddlestone Modric Lennon
Pav Crouch​

I prefer bale at LM than LB but we need to win these games (and try to boost GD as you never know what can happen if we get 3 big scores) but needs be to get all our potential goal threats on at the same time.​

​

Chelsea, City, Liverpool
The city game is a must win but we cannot afford to go all guns blazing like we did vs Arsenal and I propose for our remaning home games. We need to be solid and compact in all the away games and make sure we take our chances. In football anything can happen, it is certainly not impossible to win these 3 games as well. Sandro is a must, we need someone to protect our back 4 and to win the ball back.

Gomes
Kaboul Dawson Gallas BAE
Sandro Huddlestone
Lennon VDV Modric
Striker​

If we go behind Harry generally gets the decision right to rescue the game, Bale is the obvious exclusion from the second formation. Personally I prefer Bale at LM than LB so for me it would be a toss up between Bale and Lennon above.

I would drop Corluka as Kaboul looked terrific against Arsenal when he came on at RB and with possible cameos from King and Wooderz I think this is how we should set up​
