Manager: Oliver Glasner

Subs: Speroni, Dann, Mitchell, Cabaye, Gallagher, Bolasie, Murray

Perhaps harsh on Mitchell, but PvA was good for us and would be perfect for Glasner's system. Also had to fit Eze in to CM to accommodate Wilf and Olise (he has played there for us a little).

Schoolboy error:
Why you leave out Jonathan Benteke?
😉

 

[Part Time James]

I thought PvA was great at times but also dreadful for a while. Used to position himself behind opposition players so no one could pass to him.

 

[Part Time James]

To be fair a few players that were both great and rubbish depending on the season:
Sakho
Jedinak
Milovejevic(I doubt I am even close on spelling)
Benteke had one season where he was on fire

Ward (when first promoted but aged)

 

[Linford]

Nearly all populated with the current squad 🙂 I make that about right. We could do with that bench right now though!

 

[crvenaeagle]

I'd swap out Van Aanholt for the much forgotten Pape Soure, fantastic work rate and would work so well in Glasners team (rather than Pardews). A Senegalese Munoz.

Eze I'd move forward because I'm not sure he'd be suited to that role.

Blimey makes you realise we’ve done brilliant staying up all these years considering how much rubbish we’ve signed🤣
Although Connor Wickham is harsh, good player when fit

But would otherwise be a good call from yourself 🤣

I don’t think Eze should be part of a middle two. You need a hardworking midfielder alongside Wharton. I can’t believe James MacArthur hasn’t been mentioned in this debate. So I would move Eze forward, replace him with MacArthur and sadly drop Zaha, which I know to many is unforgivable. I might have Murray over Mateta for his finishing ability.

I think you've got it about right, shame Gallagher couldnt have slotted in that first 11. Perhaps I would put Zaha on the bench, move Eze forward and put Gallagher in centre mid next to Wharton. I concur about PVA as left wing back.
