Wouldn't mind it if you swapped Hume for Sylla and Smith for Hammill.

CL says it is 4-5-1 when we are defending and 4-3-3 when attacking. With those wingers, it is a defensive line up.

Indeed Steven unless he classes Hughes as one of the attackers.This line-up could pay dividends or could fail spectaculary.Like I said I wouldn't criticise the system just the Personnel in it...we'll see.
 
I'm sorry, but whatever the tactics Smith should be in. We're playing the best team in the league and he's our best player. Very negative, and all my optimism has now disappeared. I was looking forward to a Sheff Utd type performance, this is going to be more like Cardiff/Bolton away in the cup.

And I had a couple of quid on Hume at 11/1 as well!!! :icon_evil

Smith I'd imagine is being saved for Norwich and Palace he can't start in all 4 festive matches

I do believe he was carrying a knock from Monday so I'm surprised to even see him on the bench :102:

fair enough, hadn't heard anything beforehand. Presumably he's ok for a 10 minute spell at the end (or 1 minute if Monday's substitutions are anything to go by)

Happy Xmas Time HF, did you get the X-Factor CD you wanted in your stocking?
 
very disapointed with the line-up.

good to see williams and hughes in.

we would be better with smith and hammond on the flanks, if we are going to counter attack we will need pace and energy.

hammil doesn't seem the fastest to me, and sylla doesn't have the determination.

sorry but i think we will loose now.
