Heron Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Can anyone recommend a bar in Glasgow with the appropriate channels showing the Man City game please?... Away this weekend for the Okkervil River gig... There's a pub called The Joe King Arms near the station mate. Too obvious... But nice try! Sorry mate, in all serious though there's a pub called the Cudby Lion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then move onto to Cobblers on the high street. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NU92 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 1-1 I've seen some pretty good odds on draws - 5.56x on any draw, 20x on 0-0 and 12x on 1-1. Hey, it could happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Since when did you have to be a great tackler to be a decent defensive winger? Barton was pure stamina when he played that role for us; covered a vast amount of ground. He'd tuck in centrally if the other side were getting a lot of possession, and would always be down into our corner if they were threatening a cross. I'm not gonna slag Guthrie off for his performances of late, because they've been good, but he's notorious for drifting out of games in the second half - and we'll be severely punished for that against City. He doesn't have same attributes as Barton in the final third, either. Would be a terrible idea putting him out on the right. "There's only one, Joey Barton!" Very good crosser, decent passer, poor athlete, can't tackle; likes to dive and get others sent off. Can you imagine trying to find a player like that in Spain or Portugal? Practically impossible I'd say. 'One Joey Barton' indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'd much rather we went 4-3-3. If we're to do this, I think I'd be more tempted to try Jonas left-side of a midfield three rather than Guthrie, with Ben Arfa & Ba either side of Best.

Pilko Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 It's absolutely critical that we utilise Jonas properly in this game, and I don't think I'd be comfortable trying him in a new position. Certainly not in this match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not in this match. I'd be far more comfortable having him there than Guthrie. Playing into their hands playing him in this one, he's basically a poor man's Barry as average as Barry is. Barry's strength is picking a pass, his weakness is dealing with pace. Stick Jonas or HBA up against him and we might have a slight chance of doing something here. Play Guthrie and try and stifle them and I think it could be a disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Jonas is experienced enough to manage more than others I suspect. I have been encouraged with Guthrie, and his interplay with HBA was good with quick short passes, the sort that might allow Arfa to shine, hence me pondering whether guthrie could start in midfield 3 with HBA out wide on right. All academic, it'll be the usual 4-4-2 and Obertan sounds likely to be back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 No square pegs in round holes. As little change as injuries allow, no sentiment, play 4-4-2, play they way we know and get after them and give them a game. If we get hammered at least get hammered trying to win the game rather than getting hammered after doing a TCA and playing for a 0-0 draw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Here's a crazy thought. You know the settled side that has been quietly impressing and gathering points all season - let's keep it settled. There should be one change to the 'regular team' and that should be Obertan's replacement (be it HBA or Guthrie or whoever). None of this switching Jonas or putting R.Taylor out on the right wing and throwing Santon in. A settled side is the reason we are where we are.

Disco Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 3-1-3-3 will work a charm with Colo in the defensive hole. If it's good enough for Bielsa it's good enough for us at the CoMS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was like nah fuck off. Then once i saw him at school we had a big ass fight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
