Soldado

We need someone that can feed Soldado in box. Sandro will drop down when city are attacking.maybe Capoue intstead of Paulinho I cant make upp my mind about that. I think Lamela could be good feeder for Soldado. With Lennon on the right place where he belong. We will get great pace on the left and on the right.

Very pleased to hear that Ade might be in contention. Ade playing at anywhere near his best is a huge asset for any club, and he'd also suit our current set-up much better than Soldado or Defoe.

Not that I want to see Soldado dropped.

Very much so. In fact not having a player of Adebayor's ability featuring at all this season has probably been my biggest frustration. Even if he wasn't to score much, he may just add what we're missing in terms of attacking link play and cohesion.

Would love to see Ade play a part for us on Sunday.

Ade is a £15-£20 million striker. In a side thats not been scoring goals, having that kind of talent not even in the squad is ridiculous and verging on criminal.

Not when he's not in the right mindset he's not. Which has pretty much been the case since we made his move permanent.

It's not Soldado's fault but if we can't get the ball to him then I see no reason to play hm in a game like this where we need to soak up pressure then win the ball in the middle and hit on the break with pace

Another classic example of a player getting better when they havnt been in the team for a while

Ade at his best and in the right frame of mind is easily our best striker, worth 30m+ but how many times have we seen that player since he signed for us perminantly?

I could probably count them on 1 hand. What a waste of talent he is and his lack of effort most of the time is sad and embarrassing

What I would like to see
Lloris
Walker, Dawson, Kaboul, Vertonghen
Paulinho, Dembele
Lamela, Adebayor, Chadli
Soldado

Bench: Friedel, Chirices, Sandro, Holtby, Kane, Townsend, Siggurdson

Everyone expects us to go 4231. So that is what we will do, except with Ade in the team as well. But we will start out 4231 to screw with Pellegrini. After 10-15 minutes, move Ade up top with Soldado and go 442.

Why did I leave Defoe out of the team? Kane has impressed me in all of his appearances. The last time Defoe impressed me was in a non PL match about 2 months ago. I honestly dont know how he has continued to score in non PL competition. Like its really nothing short of mind boggling.

Started Dembele over Sandro for the sole reason of the 4-4-2. I see Sandro as Dikembe Mutombo from the Geico commercial. Just someone who sits in front of the defense and goes "No, No, No" when someone tries to get by. Just a straight up beast like that. Maybe Holtby can start here over Dembele.

What I think(No, what I know) we'll see:
Lloris
Walker, Dawson, Chirices, Vertonghen
Paulinho, Sandro
Townsend, Holtby, Siggurdson
Soldado

Bench: Friedel, Kaboul, Dembele, Lamela, Capuoe, Chadli, Defoe

Ade was pretty good for us down the stretch last season. Showed good work rate, and was the first striker to score a goal for us since I think it was December...

When Ade is motivated, he's world class. He just rarely is that man, unfortunately.

Lamela......Paulinho......Townsend

Subs: Friedel, Naughton, Chiriches, Dembele, Holtby, Lennon, Defoe

As much as I think that Ade should be involved somehow, I think it is just words.

A few crucial decisions for AVB:
1) Drop Dawson, was exposed by Remy hate to think what Aguero will do to him
2) Play Lamela, the time has come
3) Leave Defoe out of the squad, even thought of him coming on as a sub scares me
4) Play Ade, looks more promising on this front
5) Don't start Siggy on the left, it doesn't work

Get any of these wrong / bottle them and I give us very little chance.

6) Sandro must start

Wouldn't bet on it, another case of AVB messing with Ade? Unused sub at best IMO
