How will Harry play it?

[West London is Rss]

these are all very nice teams but you have to think about the team Harry is going to put out.. it will be one filled with experience and bit match experience.

This being said, do not be surprised to see O'Neil, Krancjar, Benayoun and now BAE all starting

[stanistheman]

Not the best of teams there Stan.. Jenas aint fit.

Knowing HR he will go for massive experience on this occasion..

Green
Simmo Dunne Ned Hill
Yossi O'Neil Barton Hoilett
Niko
Austin

If Jenas is not fit, then I'd go for O'Neil. I would not have Hill at left back, especially on a big pitch like Wembley.

agreed

Jenas is out for 6 to 9 months with a cruciate! The pitch at Wembley is no bigger than Loftus Road!

I wonder in training if we have ever tried a 3 centre back formation, Clint, chief, dunne, with Simpson and traore as wing backs, Morrison, Barton and nico in midfield, and Charlie and Zamora up front. Harry is a bit old school so I doubt it, but I bet Maclaren would have looked at it. Solves the left back issue, and gives us a compact midfield, think it works.

played 3cbs against Blackpool and we were shocking...bae and Hughes as wing backs... Absolute holocaust of an idea

[Mattyqpr]

He is better on the left rather than in a central position alongside Barton, as he showed against Wigan.
Barton with Jenas, O'Neil or Henry in the centre with Morrison behind Austin and either Krancjar, Traore, Hoilett or Benayoun on the flanks.

Niko on the left? Wisdom (Derby right back) will ruin him! Nico is a luxury player, and can't play anywhere but the hole on Saturday in my opinion. To be fair, he battled well at centre mid against Wigan, but should have had about 10 yellow cards, it's just not his game.

Jenas won't play until 2015, done his ACL.

WOW I said exactly the same to my son this morning (great minds and all that).
I think we have the players to make this a cracking formation, but not in a one off game that means so much.
It would be nice to see at the start of next season though...YOU R`ssssssssssssssss

Harry and experience

Yes he is - yes he will field one
Green
Simpson-Dunne-Hill-BAE
Barton-OŽNeill
Hoilett-Morrison-Kranjcar
Austin

Murphy-Onuoha-Yun-Carroll-Traore-Benyaoun-Zamora

[winalotto]

I hope he doesn't go with Hill and Dunne at Wembley , he may have to make a massive call and leave Hill out

[march56]

onuoha must play

[winalotto]

I think he may well start with Zamora instead of Morrison

[Kirill]

yun must play

[Simonj10]

Think the team will be

Green
Simpson-Dunne-Onouha-Hill
Barton-OŽNeill
Hoilett-Morrison-Kranjcar
Austin

Murphy-Doyle-Yun-Carroll-Traore-Benyaoun-Zamora

I want

Green
Simpson-Dunne-Onouha-Yun
Barton-OŽNeill
Hoilett-Kranjcar-Traore
Austin

Murphy-Doyle-Hill-Carroll-Morrison-Benyaoun-Zamora

[Del]

He MUST play Onouha becasue not only has he been excellent of late, but his Pace covering the back on a massive pitch at Wembley could be crucial. I do however have some serious concers that he may play Dunne and Hill at the centre to accommodate BAE at LB... another who shouldnt play.

The back 4 should be Simpson, Dunne, Onouha, Yun imo, but knowing Harry he'll mess it up and play BAE who couldnt care less if we win.

[winalotto]

Will Harry go for it ?

I wonder whether he will open up maybe play Carroll from the start , or will he try to keep it nice and tight and frustrate Derby's attacking threat, i wouldn't be surprised to see a rather close and cagey game from the off, maybe O'Neil in the middle or Henry from the start?
