Guest NorthernSoul Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Butt will be sorely missed tonigh Just hope they have a hangover from the weekend! Rooney (who always scores against us) will be raring to go again after missing most of Inter during the week and the cup final sunday... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I'd go with something like: -------------------------------Harper------------------------------- S. Taylor-----------Coloccini------Bassong------------Enrique -------------------------------Smith-------------------------------- R. Taylor-------------------Geremi-------------------------Jonas ---------------------------Lovenkrands--------------------------- ------------------------------Martins------------------------------- Looks strange but it would give us defensive protection from Smith, Jonas and Taylor while Lovenkrand's runs from deep might give Martins some time and space on the ball.

Skirge Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 We need Oba's pace as high up the pitch as possible, no point having him outwide or their defence gets an easier ride if he is deep. His pace scares defenders the last place they want him in on their shoulder, trouble is if he is the lone striker holding the ball up is not something he is great at, mind I have not seen much evidence in Viduka's time here that he can hold the ball up to and we all know Shola cannot do it. So maybe a 4-4-2 is our only option and will have to struggle ith what ever weak CM pairing we can muster. I would love to be able to sit a man infront of the back four to give that extra cover and a man to close down the likes of Scholes to limit their long range efforts but we jsut do not have the right players fit. So forget the sitting back lets just have fkn go. -------------------Harp Saylor------Colo-------Bass------Jose Raylor------Smith-----Gere-----Jonas --------------Oba-------Love Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Should be a good test for some of our players if nothing else. We'll see if Bassong really is CL quality against Rooney. Jonas + Enrique should be able to handle Ronaldo as well IMO. Still don't think we'll win, but could do OK if these individual battles work our way.

Skirge Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Rooney, Ronaldo, Carrick, Berbatov, Anderson all will play, a Carrick straight pass will turn Colo and that will b there first goal by Rooney. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 It's all in the mentality like we can play any formation we like but if we come out and bend over like we did against Liverpool they will duly fuck us silly. Hughton needs to give these lads the mentality they can compete with Man United, get in amongst them and stop their flow and rhythm. Far too often we’re beaten before we get on the pitch. Unfortunately I can see his team talk going something like: 'Well lads they have a group of good players, no one will blame you if you let a few in, there's no shame in that.' Similar to the whole Roeder 'Rooney and Ronaldo are so good you've just got to let them get on with it' crap from a couple of seasons ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
