Given our track record against the two above us this season I should have no hope whatsoever, however being the eternal optimist and trusting in the talent we have to realise at some point this season, I think I have the answer.
We need to bully them a bit at the back, to do that we need some height, to get that we need Diaby back in the middle and Bendtner back to his best.
Those two can be a handful and if he plays Diaby in midfield we can push them through the pitch, leave Song to take care of potato head and we have them through the middle, if not then play them both up front (Bendtner/Diaby) and surprise them, either would work.
Now I suggested the other day he puts Vermaelen into the midfield alongside Cesc and Song and drop Campbell next to Gallas at the back, that’s still my first option, we all know he won’t do that though.
So let me try a team that he is more likely to go with, it cannot include Denilson, he is simply a liability, yes maybe one day he’ll come good, after all Song did, but we can’t afford to carry anyone on Sunday, and given that all three goals were down to him, it’s time to man up and drop him for a couple of seasons, hey, send him out on loan.
This isn’t my choice, it’s my suggestion mixed with what I know he’ll do, so 50/50.
Almunia
Sagna Gallas Vermaelen Clichy (wrong mix)
Song Cesc Diaby
Rosicky Bendtner Arshavin
Then use Ramsey as the alternative midfielder and Nasri and Theo up top. As I said Vermaelen could go into midfield with Diaby behind the front line, and Campbell would slot in at the back, the balance would be better then and we could protect the inconsistency of our wandering full backs.
I would also consider Theo for impact, he’s way too good to be bad and he will be back, he is my wizard and one day he will light up and score 5 in one match, I went through the same patch Theo, Ian Rush and I had both gone 10 games without a goal, we both scored on the same day and after that, normal service was resumed, Ok, Rush did his at Anfield, but my back heel at Wanstead flats was every bit as good.
Wellington still does not appear to have signed for us according to some reports, odd that, he must be on the longest trial period in history, I think he has signed, he must have spoken to Denilson who would have said join mate, you get paid when you play rubbish and you never ever lose your place! Do that silly head wobble, like a halfwit, Wenger really likes that, I do it all the time, like a court Jester, it creases him up!
We still have a way to go until we play the chavs so we’ll no doubt talk more, for any of you that are feeling a bit left out for being the only people in football not to have slept with that bird of Terry’s, …I don’t believe you!
Let’s just hope the 5th chav players is Cashley and his old woman dumps him and his mobile phone for a better more faithful model, that has morals.
Have a great day Grovers, only 5 to go before we can start dreaming of winning guaranteed points again!
P.S. Pedro is going write a little bit about internet freedom of speech online tomorrow, but before he does, I’d appreciate it if you could put your weight behind the Newsnow petition about the right to link.
The Sun, the Times, NoTW and a few others have banned newsnow from linking their stories in their news feeds because they wont pay to syndicate their links (not content). Newsnow is one of the most successful websites in the UK and has had a big hand in making Le Grove the site it was today. Stage one in Newsnows campaign is to stop other sites back linking their content without a charge… that could have serious implications for free content on the web and it could affect how blogs like ours operate.
Click this LINK and put your name down on the petition today, get your friends to as well. Bloggers, commenters, twitterers, facebookers, stalkers, we need to unite for the good of the net. Do something now to fight this process… because before you know it, we’ll be blessing the good old days of the internet because we failed to act.
