If we had a full team available to us..this is what it would

GK-Shay Given
DC-Craig moore
DC-Steven Taylor
DC-Peter Ramage
MR-James Milner
ML-Damien Duff
MC-Kieron Dyer
MC-Scott Parker
MC-Belozoglu Emre
ST-Obafemi Martins
ST-Michael Owen

ye that definalty is our strongest team, but i dont think we could afford to play 3 at the back until we get a better defender to go with taylor and ramage.

but we do have enough quality in the midfield to play 5, we could easily play 6

6 in the middle, thats a bit negative. lol.

but we could though. milner emre duff parker dyer would be quality. martins up front on his own, and taylor bernard ramage and moore in defence.

Given

Carr....Taylor.....Bernard

Milner.....Parker.....Emre.....Duff

...................Dyer.......................

Martins.............Owen

Shay
Taylor
Moore
Huntington
Duff
Milner/Solano
Parker
Dyer
Martins
Sibierski
Owen
Subs Krul Bernard Emre Solano Rossi

mine is not too different that the present injury enforced 11....... Personally would like to see Duff and Nobby as wing backs - both have impressed when pressed to cover the nether regions - and I think Nobby will happily play for the colours, but I cant see Duff agreeing to that long term. Goal - Given is a given, although more than happy to use Krul - I can see Harper finally being sold at the EOS. Wing Backs - Duff & Nobby - no more Carr or Baby please Centre B - Ramage and Taylor - Quite clearly work well together. Moore is an adequate squad member but thats all. Forwards - Sibs and Martins - looks like it can work well, and with Dyer swinging in from Right will scare the pants off many defences. Sorry but no place for Owen - even when fit. I know he will score goals but the boy is not the player he has been and hes too lightweight for the megabucks we pay. We need a target and Sibs is awesome for this. Midfield - defensive - Butt Left - Milner Right - Dyer Centre - Emre (Contentious I know- but Although I think Parkers work rate is phenomenal - we dont win much when hes on the pitch - personally I reckon the team struggle to know where he is since he floats around so much. Emre knows what hes best at - and does it well - leave it to Butt to clean up the messy stuff. Zogs as first sub - clearly his confidence is down after the Duff signing, and AW doing a bit of taping up.... So that my 11 wots others opinion. Cheers

No way have you sat and wrote that.

i find your views interesting but parker ia nufc through and through. His emotion after his goal against fulham showed that. Butt still makes some mistakes now and again. Owen is a fantastic forward he scored 7 in 10 before getting injured. He scored us scrappy goals which we had been lacking. I am concerned because I dont think Owen/Martins partnership will really work. If Huntelaar is signed then I could see Owen possibly leaving. My best 11 would be:

Given
Carr
Bernard
Taylor
Ramage
Milner
Duff
Parker (Butt)
Emre
Martins (Owen)
Sibierski
