I guess Darby or Degen will play left back then.

 

Would have been nice to see Kelly have a chance in that position, as it is an area which is up for grabs in the squad and he has the potential to grab it.

 

Shame Jovanovic isn't getting a run out.

Wonder if that's a 433 with Amoo and Eccleston either side of Ngogba?

 

Or it could be 4411 with Aquilani as the attacking midfielder. Or 4231 with Lucas and Jay in the middle. Plenty of options there.

 

I'm really interested to see what kind of formations we play in these games, although it mightn't be any indicator of what we do when everyone is available. Roy might pick a team based on the players he has available, or he might get those players to play a system he wants to use.

I'm hoping it is 4-2-3-1 with Aquilani getting a free role and hopefully he'll thrive and send out a big message to Roy that not only Joe Cole can play that role.

Just noticed Jack Robinson is on the bench. He wasn't in the original travelling party was he? Must have been called up to replace Insua. Actually, come to think of it, he was watching the u18s at the weekend so he definitely wasn't in the original squad. I thought I heard Steve Hunter say on commentary that he had a slight injury, which was why he wasn't playing for the 18s.

 

Big chance for him to impress Hodgson in the next few days then.

I like the look of that formation. I presume it will involve Amoo and Eccleston on the wings, Spearing Aquilani and Lucas in some combination in CM and NGog up top.

 

Think it's a massive year for Spearing and I believe the lad will come good if we give him a chance. Also pleased we're playing a 4-5-1 rather than 4-4-2. Looking forward to the match now.
