Be properly narked if they hammer us. Tired of getting humped at Old Trafford.

 

 

-------------------------------- Krul ---------------------------------

 

Simpson -------- STaylor ---------- Coloccini --------- RTaylor

 

------------------------------- Tiote --------------------------------

------------------- Cabaye --------- Guthrie ---------------------

 

-- Ba ------------------------------------------------------ Jonas --

------------------------------- Best ---------------------------------

 

 

Clear to me that we need to change something for the Manu game. Pack the midfield, cos it got overran today. Means dropping one of HBA or Jonas (assuming Best is fit again), and i would go for Jonas, due to his defensive attributes.

 

 

 

Mental that you wouldn't play Ben Arfa after today.

Pardew's already said that he'll be playing nowhere but up top. If he's not gonna play down the wing... and Best's fit... then he loses his place as far as i'm concerned.

Why though? Because he can hold the ball up?

Fucking hell. The mighty Leon Best.

They have CL mid-week as well, good for us.

 

Tioté in for Guthrie

Santon in for RT

Obertan in for Sammy

 

Otherwise I'd keep it the same way. Ben Arfa is useful against the top teams, he can unlock anyone where as we'd get nowhere with Best/Ba grafting for 90 mins. He also showed signs of vast improvement today, thought he had a brilliant period of about 15-20 mins during the second half today.

Yeah. Would have liked to have seen how we did today with him in the side. If we'd had the ball in City's half for any more than the odd fleeting second*, we might have been level at half-time and it's a different game. That's not a detriment to Ben Arfa, who had a really good game, it's just the fact that Best holds onto the ball and Ba is good at dropping deep and playing the wings. It helped us go eleven games unbeaten, anyway.

 

 

 

*or got more than about 27% possession altogether.

We also may have been leading if Ba had taken his chances. So it could also have been a different game then.

Ben Arfa wont be playing out wide man but i agree he HAS to play, he showed today that he should be, these are the kind of games we need him.

 

Will be behind one of Ba, Best or Shola. Most likely Ba.

That, and the fact we have a proven track record of scoring goals with him on the pitch. He's a better partner for Ba.

 

HBA has to play, though. No question.

 

That's where I agree. Just because you want Best to play doesn't mean Ben Arfa can't as well. Although even though Best has been putting in some good shifts, when was the last time he scored?

In mid-September. We've dropped 2 points since them with him in the team btw.

Maaaan, Best and Jonas are ridiculously overrated on here.  :huff:

 

Overrated based on what? Facts, perhaps?

 

Overrated on facts :lol:

 

Agree sort of.
