Controversial but think I would play both Montero and Gomis tonight.
We were desperate for some attacking threat against Sunderland, even before the Red card, and cant see either a diamond formation or Ayew offering that.
Also would play Ayew as No. 10 as Gylfi no matter how hard he is working is offering little in the final 3rd.
So my team would be....
Fab, Rang, Tayls, Ash, Fed, Leon, Cork, Ayew, Barrow, Montero, Gomis |  | | |  |

I can see something like the following:
Fab
Amat
Ash
Fede
Rangel
Taylor
Leon
Cork
Gylfi
Ayew
Gomis
3-5-2, all the rage in Italy in the 90's. |  |

I would go with:
Fab
Naughton, FF, Ash, Taylor
Cork (or Ki), Britton, Siggy
Montero, Ayew, Barrow
Routs was poor last Wednesday (he's so feckin inconsistent) and Gomis drags everyone down in my opinion. |  | | |

I'm really starting to warm to this formation and I think it is certainly worth a go. The only issue is it is a pretty big change, but maybe it is what we need. An Italian manager coming in might mean we see this, be interesting that is for sure. |  |

Monterro and Gomis only play well in fine weather. They don't like the wind, the wet and the cold, they like the sun on their backs. Just check their form at the start and end of the season when the weather is fine against the crap they serve up in between. | | | |

Jeff didn't do too badly against the Arse in driving rain... |  |

I like the look of this on paper.
My only concern is that we may end up being too narrow with players getting in each other's way - particularly Siggy and Ayew. Especially as the game gets on and Rangel's legs start to go...
I'm also not sure if Amat is up for 90 mins - he was hanging at Oxford by the end.
Having said that - if it clicks with Taylor & Rangel controlling the wings then we'll dominate the middle and should have a real goal threat.
Optimistic. |  |

It's not actually a massive change. We have been playing 4 at the back lately, but Leon has been dropping between the centre backs when in possession, they have split and the full backs have pushed forward, effectively making it a 3-5-2 or 3-5-1-1 when we have the ball anyway. When we don't, Leon moves forward a bit and the full backs drop back into a back four. I prefer that to actually starting with 3 centre backs because it is more flexible.
Problem with it, is we have been playing it with a flurry of attacking midfielders and no out and out striker. | | | |

Changing formations, no matter how small or subtle is never easy. It takes a lot of effort on the training pitch and a number of games on it for players to learn the roles and for them to understand where they should be on the pitch and when. The combination play is not something which happens overnight
It may work, it may not. But I really wouldn't be going down that route in the position we are currently in, particularly a game we pretty much have to win. |  |

Montero is a must for me tonight against Nyom who is not the greatest full back in the world,Barrow did well against Sunderland and should start as it appears Watford left back tonight is returning after injury,my team
Fabianski
Rangel:Williams:Fernandez:Taylor:
Siggy:Briton:Ki:
Barrow:Ayew:Montero:
At least no novice Referee tonight. | | | |
| Montero and Gomis Tonight on 16:19 - Jan 18 with 2282 views | jasonbromham |
I would make 1 or 2 changes tops!
Fabianski
Naughton Fernandez Williams Taylor
Britton Cork
Barrow Sigurdsson Routledge/Montero
Ayew
Subs: Nordfeldt, Amat, Rangel, Ki, Routledge/Montero, Emnes, Gomis.
I certainly wouldn't play Gomis. | | | |

Thats my team too. Ki has to learn that we are in a relegation battle and start putting the tackles in. I still rate him though, just needs a shake up that being dropped to the bench could give him. | | | |

Gylfi
Ayew

3-5-2, all the rage in Italy in the 90's. |
Not adverse to 3-5-2 as a formation but with our current squad it presents a few personnel challenges as our full/wing backs either lack pace or creativity/crossing ability.
If we were feeling brave we could drop Leon in as one of the 3, like Barca do with Mascherano, which means Amat can cover from the bench (which thankfully leaves Bartley in the stands) so we'd set-up :-
Fav's
Fede Leon Ash
Naughts - Cork - Siggy - Ki - Tayls
Ayew Gomis
Bench : Nordfelt, Rangel, Amat, Routs, Montero, Barrow & Emnes/Grimes | | | |

Got to play Gomis and Montero. Ki needs to be dropped from a great height. We have to play any player that carries an attacking threat. Jeff's gone of the boil since the Stoke game when they showed how easily to isolate him by not letting Taylor cross the halfway line. If Taylor can't find a way through replace him instead. |  |

I would certainly bring Montero on later in the game as an impact sub. I would leave Gomis on the bench though as we seem to play better with Ayew up top. |  | | |

If we drop Siggy I'll be off the bridge. |  | | |
| Montero and Gomis Tonight on 17:29 - Jan 18 with 1969 views | oh_tommy_tommy |
I'd play cork instead of Ki , he's been like a women's thingy lately .
I have to sit down before I type the next line
I'd give Gomis one more chance  |  |
