Predicted Starting X1 in Cyprus

[RedStarTorphins]

Not necessarily my starting X1, but this is who I think DM will pick

Think he'll go 4-1-4-1

Lewis
Logan O'Connor Reynolds Considine
Arnason
Stewart McLean Shinnie Christie
Stockley

Subs - Rogers, Harvie, Tansey, Wright, Maynard, Storey, Mackay-Steven

Think he'll sit Arnason on that da Silva that plays just off the front
Depending on how game is going, likely to bring on Maynard & Mackay-Steven if needing a goal.

Stockley always a red card waiting to happen in these games

I thought the same in the away leg V Brijeg but he didnt on that occassion surprised me :O

[Aldo1983]

I can see him playing that team as well but I also think he'll go for Maynard up front on his own and Arnason replacing O'Connor.

Not sure of the total personel but I think he will go with o conner,considine and Arnason as a back three with logan and GMS matching upto their full backs.

[ILikeJam]

I reckon if it goes to plan he'll go with:

Lewis
Logan - Arnason - Reynolds - Considine
Shinne - McLean
Stewart (subbed for Tansey) - Christie - MacKay Steven (subbed for O'Connor)
Stockley (subbed for Maynard)


I feel O'Connor's been marginally better than Reynolds over the few games so far, but he'll want Reynolds' pace at the back. Arnason in for his Cyprus experience. O'Connor and Tansey to come on 2nd half if we've got something to hold on to with Maynard to chase down clearances on his own.

Has Arnie played much in midfield since leaving us in 2012?

No he's predominantly been a centre half.
I don't he'll stray too far from just in front of O'Connor & Reynolds.
Almost like a screen to them, playing where that da Silva plays.
I could of course be 100% wrong!!
Just get the feeling he'll want to go more solid than in Bosnia.
It'll almost be a back 3/5

[Landvetter83]

FWIW, can see a 3-4-3 for this one like Rijeka.

O'Connor - Arnason - Considine
Logan - Tansey - MacLean - Shinnie
Christie - Maynard - Stewart

P.S. Did this really need it's own thread when a match thread already existed? Forum etiquette, chaps!
