If he can get a good bit of time against Iran, we'll have him for at least part of the England match.
Think we need him to be honest.
Back in full training and being match fit are two different things, and I hope it's the latter as we can't afford to carry another player.
We shouldn't need an unfit and past his best Joe Allen to comfortably beat Iran.
Why?Originally Posted by Hilts
Because Iran are crap.
He won't be match fit obviously, but he'll get valuable minutes ahead of the England game.
I'd be tempted to play with a back 4 and stick Davies in midfield against England.
Ward
Roberts - Mepham - Rodon - Williams
Ampadu - Davies
XXXXX - XXXXX -XXXXX
Moore
Unfortunately, Mepham is an accident waiting to happen !!
He's improved a lot this season, and England are going to murder us in midfield, so a double-pivot in front of a back 4 may help. I can't see Page changing from 3 at the back though.
My last word ...
Ward
Roberts - Mepham - Rodon - Williams
Ampadu - Davies
Bale - Ramey - Johnson
Moore
Team against Iran
Hennessey/Ward
Back 4 of Roberts, Rodon, Davies, N. Williams
Middle 3 of Ampadu, Allen, Morrell
Between midfield and the front 2, Ramsey
Front 2 of Moore and James/Johnson
I wouldn’t start Bale, as he’s been booked, so take a bit of pressure off him
swap Rodon for Davis and you might have something
Agree with that, never been impressed by Mepham.
Let's just hope he does well and surprises us.
Have you seen him playing for Bournemouth this season? He looks like a different player.
My pick would be that back 4 to start but with Ramsey alongside Ampadu in the middle.
Ramsey can spray the ball around brilliantly from deep. Diagonals, balls over the top, through balls...
It allows us to play a forward three of Johnson, Bale and Wilson with Moore up top.
Half hour to go, drop Ampadu into the back four and take Mepham off, and play Allen alongside Ramsey for half hour.
For what reason?
To create a barrier in front of our centre-backs. Davies is a full-back and he should be able to slot into that position. The game against England will be all about stopping them scoring, while hoping to sneak a goal on the break.
terrible idea
What's your idea then Columbo? England are going to absolutely dominate us in midfield in we play Ampadu and A.N. Other in midfield again.
No, but I see how he plays every time for Wales and he's a concern.
He’s got this horrible habit, of once a player goes past him, he automatically reaches out to grab their shoulder.
As I say, a sending off, waiting to happen
I would rather go out and try to scare the shit out of them.
We shouldn't have a negative attitude going into that game, we have players that can cause them serious problems.
Southgate will be wary of what we have, in the same way we're wary of what they have.
Unfortunately you can't do that with the front six players that they have
Why? They're totally different positions
