im starting to see ward as a new replacement for Pantelis
And i would take wardy every time tbh.
not sure about ward in the middle, and if we sign Alex smith then who knows what will happen.
Imagine:
Paston
Downey Sigmund Durante Lochhead
Muscat Lia
Ward Smith Sanchez
Ifill
With the attacking 4 all switching over the pitch, ifill going wide, smith up top, sanchz central. Similar to the fluid attack manCity are displaying this year. Build a solid defensive back 6, and let the four attackers go nuts.
I would love that formation, especially once we picked up a new attacker.
You can guarantee that unless form is a dictator, Brown and Lia will ALWAYS start. You may as well put Bertos in there as well.
We've never really seen Ricki deviate from that - why would he now?
