Andy Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 We'll come through these games unbeaten, then lose heavily against Norwich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Santon replacing Marveaux is a good shout, especially as he's played there before. They'll be aiming for Simpson and Raylor so if we have Santon and Jonas running back to help them, it'll be a massive help. Unsure what to do with Ben Arfa though, part of me thinks he'll rise to the occasion and petrify their defence. But the other part thinks we should stick with 4-4-2. By the way, this thread will be massive by matchday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 We'll come through these games unbeaten, then lose heavily against Norwich. Tongue in cheek stuff aside. I fancy a comfortable defeat, a battling defeat and a draw, in that order. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Man City find it so easy to score that it's difficult to imagine us getting anything out of this. Providing our heads don't go down at any stage, a defeat shouldn't matter that much. Mind you, there have been so many times this season when I've looked at the team line-ups and thought, no, we're going to get done this time. And the game kicks off and it doesn't happen.

Optimistic Nut Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 This is way beyond that scale, but there are shades of December 2001 and our back-to-back games at title rivals Arsenal & Leeds about this run coming up, where everyone thought this would be where we'd lose it.

STM Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think we will get something form this game, i think we will get bummed at Old Trafford though. I know alot of people see it the other way round but that's not the way i see it. I think we can sneak a goal against city and hold on, where as Man Utd will get a penalty and one of our players sent off. Reckon we will give Chelsea a right good game though.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 No reason at all we should get bummed at Old Trafford IMO. We might well lose, but it shouldn't be a mauling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keefaz Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Might as well go for it. Even if we get done 5-0: well, it's no worse than Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think we'll likely lose all three, maybe pick up a couple of points depending on the injured players. At home to Chelsea I think is our best chance of a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At home to Chelsea I think is our best chance of a win. Lose at City. Might get a point at OT. Man Utd don't look solid. They could have easily drawn matches against Norwich and Sunderland.

gbandit Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 City 1-1 Utd 3-2 loss Chelsea 2-1 win Unlikely,one point from the three would be a good return but those are my predictions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 QPR could have got something off City to be fair. They're bound to get a bad result at some point, hopefully its against Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

juniatmoko Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 krul simpson - saylor - colo - raylor santon - gosling - guthrie - jonas barfa ba thats the best line up if we cant overcome the injury of last match.. & hope santon can do job same as jonas at right wing... defensive play tactic... if luck come hope can a nick a goal.

Guest magpie99 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 If we give them the chances Everton had before we took the lead (Coleman and Saha), we will get thumped. If we keep it tight early on and try and hit them on the break, we might get something out of the game but we need to be defensively disciplined and both our wingers need to continue to help the full backs. Krul, Simpson, Colo, Saylor, Santon Raylor, Tiote, Guthrie, Jonas HBA Ba Subs: Elliott, Gosling, Perch, Shola, Ferguson, Sameobi, Smith (Assuming Obertan, Cabaye, Marveaux, Best, Willamson are still unavailable) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 If Best is missing, and Cabaye back, I would go for the 4-2-3-1 with Tiote/Cabaye in midfield and HBA behind Ba up front. May as well give it a shot. Is Tiote definitely fit? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Best just pulled out of the Ireland squad because of the birth of his son, didn't he? Should be fine for this then. If they are all fit, I'd probably go BACK 5 Tiote Guthrie Cabaye Ba Jonas Best Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Don't think we'll score at all during these 3 games. Might also not concede in one. So we might get a point, preferably at home to Chelsea so some confidence is won back before the easier set of games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Taylor will power in a Cabaye corner, or the other Taylor will hit a vicious free kick, or HBA will conjure some magic. Positive mental attitude man!
