Then have to wait until the 52ND MINUTE to become comfortable again. Unacceptable tbh.

Move our two best players against Arsenal to the bench?

Provided neither Cacapa or Faye are fit, that looks good to me.

Was my thinking too, cannot see Faye being back for this one, and have not heard a thing about Cacapa being close to a return.

My only worry is that Sam plays Zoggy at LB and Geremi wide right again with Milner down the left.

Even if we do, a performance like that against Arsenal will probably be enough to beat Brum so I won't be too displeased.

Thats just it though aint it, its this "play like that against Arsenal, get stuck in" thing, we need to play that way every fkn game, if it works against the team at the top of the league then it should work against any team.

For me:

 

4-3-3

 

---------Given

Beye--Taylor--Roz--Zog

------------Butt----------

----Barton------Emre

 

Martins-----------Milner

----------Smith

 

Think NZogbia will be better than Jose for this game, as we will be able to attack more than against Arsenal.

I've actually been really impressed with how Milner has been playing on the left, I think he beats his man better than on the right.. and Smith's hod up play was quality against Arsenal... hence the forward role

I also think Martins played well on the right wing but was not more effective due to the pace of Clichy..

Good team, though I'd have Geremi ahead of Butt, Jose instead of Milner and N'Zogbia upfront
