Thread is about our current best team if all fit. Clearly he’s in the best current 11 players. Most had him as our outfield POTY ffs, so how can he not be in the top 11.
Team if everyone was fit?
- Thread starter GascoigneMaestro
- Start date
An emotional time for most of us and just my opinion. I understand it’s a thread on our top team should every player be fit, I guess I’m old school, he’s very much a modern day fullback but I like defenders to be defenders and hate losing goals as much as I hate us getting beat.
On another note, how many of our players are sitting in their houses thinking about the cup final saying to themselves, I’m not sure we can beat them in two weeks. I include Tav in that, that’s why I want a clear out with hungrier younger players brought he won’t take any shit from that lot. All players have a shelf life and the time has come to get rid.

If we keep the majority of the players mentioned we are never going to win the league they are not good enough the recruitment of players is a disgrace Ridvan,Davies,Dessers,Lamers,Danilo,Hagi,Mantondo,
we are not winning the league with this group of players in till we get our recruitment correct we won’t win the league
Yilmaz,Matondo,Davies,Dessers,Lammers,Danilo,Hagi,Cifuentes,RaskinCantwell add up the transfer fees and wages around 60 million then take the Bosman dross we have brought in all duds never good enough
The balance and protection for Tav and Goldson Jack gave us before injury took it's toll cannot be underestimated.
That team has plenty of legs to help the defence and cause plenty of problems for the opposition going the other way

Butland, Sterling,Ridvan, Souttar, Balogun, Tav ,Diomande ,Jack, Cortez, Dessers ,Sima . Sterling in his natural position and Tav in a position which I think would suit him better

No arguably about it, for me Sterling has consistently been our best player since he came in to the team. Good solid performer wherever he's played, just gets on with the job. I really hope we're able to hold on to him.
With everyone fit, I'd have goldson for souttar and Jack for Raskin in there.
A fit Ryan jack walks into that midfield.

Just complete garbage.
Our weakest part of the pitch defensively and his attacking prowess is a complete myth.

Disagree on Danilo. Bearing in mind he has had 2 bad injuries this season, he has looked the best CF at the club. Very quick, works hard, good attitude, and gets into good positions. Can finish as well. Very reminiscent of Rod Wallace. Ronald De Boer was spot on, before we signed them, when he chose Danilo ahead of Dessers, in that Danilo is consistent whereas Dessers can be hit and miss.
Although I would like to see us try Tav further forward (kinda makes sense having a guy that contributes to goals but struggles defensively further forward), he still remains the best RB for the moment.
However, am going for a 3412, to accommodate our best players, factor in their strengths and weaknesses, take into account what we don’t have, and also try and solve our current defensive problems.
Butland
Goldson, Souttar and Balogun at CH
Tav and Yilmaz as wing backs
Sterling and Diomande in CM
Cantwell in the hole
Sima and Danilo up top

Tavernier must not be anywhere near the Scottish Cup final’s first 11. At a push maybe a substitute.
That comment used to get shouted out by a majority in here but I now think it’s the other way round. The majority wants James Tavernier out of the Rangers team, could be wrong.

His attacking prowess is a myth? The guy who is our top scorer and assister, year after year after year?
The guy who's the top scoring British defender of all time and something like 5th in the history of world football?
Now we know it's personal.

Penalties being the main reason his numbers are so high. Great that he can take a penalty under pressure and all that, he shouldn't be in the team because of that though.
Again, penalties.
It is personal. He isn't good enough and its costs us goals/points/trophies against celtic season after season. You're right, it's personal. Sick of seeing it every season.
I would have Sterling at RB and go with a 4-5-1. The two wide midfielders have less ground to cover to get back and should be able to play high on the opposition FB in most cases. If we could then get a proper striker who can play up top alone and lead the line then I think we’d conceded less and generally have more energy to expend becuuse we are not asking full backs to cover vast distances. I think half the problem with our midfield is that they have little to aim at for a 5-10 yd pass, everything is so stretched, especially if one of them goes back to get the ball off the defence, like JL likes to do. I think that is why we cannot get a tune out of Cantwell, unless he goes back or to the side, most of his options are to try and carry the ball forward into traffic. I wouldn't be paying the reported £7m for sima either, decent return for us but also inconsistent and a few injuries.
I agree with you about Dessers.
Butland is away unfortunately. He`s seen this backwater shithole league first hand, and played in a team full of rockets. While baldy knobends berate him on the way back to his car. We`ll need to use his transfer money very wisely.
