CaliMag Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 4-0 we are so in fo a pasting keep the blinkers on lads anyone with a grasp of realism will see we will be in freefall soon Even if we lose 4-0 its not a free fall. I thought we'd have a solitary point after our first three games... things are already better than expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think we'll keep it tight in the first half but concede a few in the second. Nicky Butt isn't good for 210 min with just two days rest and I'm not sure what sort of condition Owen is in. But if we start score early and defend well then we might nick a result if Arsenal still aren't on form. Unfortunately, I can't see a repeat of the excellent Man U performance.

bovineblue Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 2 -1 to them. We play better than expected and lose to an unlucky goal after 37 minutes of injury time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocksammy Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Given Beye Taylor Coloccini Enrique Guthrie Butt Jonas Barton N'Zogbia Owen Thats the one, Barton fit enough to start? I have no idea TBH, I just saw the pictures of him training today. We really need to stop Cesc somehow. Given Geremi Taylor Coloccini Enrique Guthrie Butt Barton Jonas Owen N'Zogbia Thats how i would play, 4-3-3 just like the end of last year. Will close down their wide players (doubbling Up) and not give them much space to make runs from midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkhead Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 apparently, Geremi has done his knee and is out till next year.. anybody heard that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Heard Geremi has a knee ligament injury so he's out for this match, but not sure how long he'll eventually be out for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Although Keegan insisted last week the former Manchester City star was well short of match fitness as a result of his time behind bars, the shock £12m sale of James Milner to Aston Villa and unfortunate injuries to Geremi and Habib Beye meant that only seven senior players were able to take part in yesterday’s training session. http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/nufc-latest-news/2008/08/30/joey-barton-in-line-for-united-return-61634-21636863/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ExiledGeordie Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I think much of it hinges on Fabregas and how we contain him. If Butt/Guthrie have solid games and we really get at Arsenal we could really frustrate them. Flamini really was a solid player for them in midfield and is sorely missed. With Jonas and Zog and OWen's finishing we've got the players to hurt them it's just a shame that we've got so many players out for this. That said we got a result at Old Trafford, we're unbeaten as yet and we've got a 2 week break until the Hull home game when we'd like to think we'll have some signings involved so we might as well just have a go at them and see what happens as per Old Trafford. We're not exptected to get anything but having lost at Fulham last week the pressure really is on them to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatwax Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 We'll lose 2-0 I think but it's not a game you're expected to win really. As McClaren would say: Arsenal... The Emirates.. We are not what you call, underdogs.. but massive underdogs! Nah, as long as we put in a good performance today I'll be content. The best I'm hoping for today is an easy home draw for the Carling Cup. If it looks like we're struggling due to the team being stretched from injuries and depth then hopefully it'll be sorted for Hull. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 It's going to be really difficult getting a team out. One of Edgar, Ranger or Donaldson will start if KK is being honest about having to keep Shola and Barton on the bench. Here are the options: Given Edgar Bassong Taylor Enrique Guthrie Coloccini Butt N'Zogbia Jonas Owen Given Taylor Bassong Coloccini Enrique Jonas Guthrie Butt N'Zogbia Owen Ranger/Donaldson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'd say KK will go for option 1 or maybe a 451 variant of it due to comments that suggest he sees Edgar as a senior player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
