Tallinted

A game where a performance is expected. According to Roeder Tallinn are slightly better than Ventspils, so hopefully our performance will be better too.

We have finally broken our 06/07 tradition of playing as well as the opposition and narrowly winning or drawing, only to lose twice in a row. We have played reasonably well in both games but failed to score enough or defend well.

I've had a new idea for the team, here is the players I'd like to see line up on Thursday night:

---------------Given--------------
Carr---Moore---Bramble---Ramage
--------Parker------Emre---------
--------------N'Zogbia--------------
-----Milner---------------Duff------
--------------Martins--------------

Just as a bit of an experiment. When Martins starts scoring this formation will be pretty credible. Shola has done nothing wrong, but we can't include him because of that. If Milner, Duff and Martins are all upfront when we are on the ball, thats real pace. Emre isn't a defensive midfielder but his hard working nature makes him a good presence alongside Scott Parker infront of the dodgy Titus (who wouldn't start in my opinion).

(Wednesday: Roeder confirmed Titus would be starting)
