Don't spose you've considered 3 CBs in a back 5. :wink:

The two "most popular" centre-backs is NOT the point.

It's how the PAIRING works.


You could have the following

A with B 150 votes
A with C 150 votes
A with D 000 votes

C with D 250 votes
B with D 000 votes

A got 300 total votes
C got 350 total votes
D got 250 total votes
B got 150 total votes

So the third most popular CB is the one in the most-chosen PAIR

Pearce-Mariappa

Gorkss has looked really short of confidence this season and can't continue in the side. He needs a spell out of the team to find his old form.

Morrison has had several moments of brilliance (dribbling out of the defence, last gasp block tackles, dominating Holt), but he makes too many mistakes at the moment. For example, he has been directly responsible for goals against QPR and Wigan, and you could make a case for the goal against Everton too (though personally I'd put that at the feet of McAnuff and Gorkss first). Two goals in four league games is not good. Federici, for example, has been responsible for two goals in five league games and the consensus is that he's been terrible, which shows what the consensus knows. He'll be extremely good in a year, but we don't have a year.

That leaves Mariappa- maybe lax in his marking, but otherwise good enough, and with much needed pace- and Pearce- slow, but intelligent, and that shouldn't be an issue if partnered with Mariappa.

andrew1957 Brilliant - this could solve all Brian's selection issues. He could simply set up a poll on hobnob each week and play the winners. That way we could not complain if they lose because we picked the team.

who do you think you're kidding. Of course we could complain. We could blame things on McDermott listening to a bunch of know nothing fukwits.


Absofuckinglutely. As long as we've got someone to blame I'll still be happy :D

I am actually wondering if we could have 7 CBs in a back 9.

Oh dear - we had better win tonight as Brian has gone against the wisdom of hobnob and chosen Mariappa over Pearce.

I imagine a team with 11 outfield players would have some dicey moments at the back

Snowball Morrison-Pearce
Morrison-Marriappa
Morrison-Gorkss

Pearce Marriappa
Pearce Gorkss

Marriappa Gorkss



That took 30 seconds


+1 to this

And I would have Pearce and Morrison but if Pearce isnt going to play again then I would have Morrison partnered with Mariappa
