Happy Face 29 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 ..and CT, if it is lucky to score in the last 10 minutes...and therefore unlucky to concede then....we have the second worst "luck" in the league having conceded 11 in that time, but Man U are the luckiest team going having scored 11 http://www.soccerstats.com/timing.asp?league=england ....or perhaps playing right up to the final whistle is an excellent quality which we have been crying out to improve on and where Man U have ALWAYS excelled under Fergie.

Kid Dynamite 5941 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think Im just going to shut up as there's nothing left to say that hasn't been said. When an entire board of football fans with more knoweldge than you tell you you are fucking clueless, then yeah, probably time to shut up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4964 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Pardew confirms Ben Arfa will NOT start on Sunday. Probably for the best, he'd be an immediate focus for being taken out. Last thing we want to do is have him out for another few games. We'll win it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll win it anyway. Still good if we have: Krul, Debuchy, Saylor, Mbiwa, Haidara, Cabaye, Sissoko, Marveaux, Jonas, Gouffran, Cisse. Question is, who would you remove from that to accommodate Tiote? Imo, I'd leave him on the bench. Or have Jonas at LB and Tiote/Cabaye/Sissoko in midfield Then you've Ben Arfa and the Mackem Slayer on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or have Jonas at LB and Tiote/Cabaye/Sissoko in midfield Then you've Ben Arfa and the Mackem Slayer on the bench The way I see it they've pretty much only got aggression to call on here. I'd start Tiote as he can go toe to toe with that (I know that's a sending off gamble), and then take him off at half time if he's picked up a booking. I'd sacrifice Jonas for that probably - less need for his work rate with Debuchy and Haidara. Also, Jonas seems to invite nasty challenges and I'd be concerned about him getting crocked. Then yes, as you say, bring Ben Arfa off the bench. Perch or Shola for the final sub, depending on how the game is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Bring Ben Arfa off the bench to the same effect as last night and we'll destroy the usless fuckers! Never thought he'd be starting like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 In an ideal world I'd go: Krul Debuchy Colo Mbiwa Haidara Ben Arfa Sissoko Cabaye Marveaux Cisse Goufran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38836 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Feeling utterly confident about this now, complacency a possibility? Amongst the team? I doubt it. They'll all be well aware of just how important this particular game is. Priority #1. Win the 3 points Priority #2. Utterly destroy the scum in the process.

Rayvin 4964 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 We look worlds ahead of them, this should be no contest. 3-0 for me I think, can't see them even scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Think this is the game where new manager syndrome should see them perform better than they did at Chelsea......without having played a midweek game. I'm not gonna be as cocky as all that. One nowt will do for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9015 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm confident, but realistic. Quality can very easily be undone by passion. I expect them to be going all out to disrupt play, be that by launching into two footers, falling to the ground with every brush of Tiote's boot or time wasting or whatever.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think they'll attack more with their latest messiah in charge than they would have under their last messiah.probably huff and puff at the start then try to catch us on the break,the longer the game goes on,if the game is still all square.
