Wilson Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Makes more sense to leave Taylor because: 1.He'll be playing in the same back four we've had all season 2.Santon is better going forward. Keeping the same back 4 for the sake of it makes no sense, if Taylor is left back then I can see Sturridge having a field day against him. Stick Santon in and then Chelsea have to try something different because I'm sure they will target Taylor as being a weakness. but its still one of the best defences in the league after playing city and man u...so it does make some sense to leave it really I'd like to see Santon in the jonas role for this one, still expecting sammy though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Didn't realise Tiote was out Going to be massively difficult without him and Jonas working their tits off in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I'm incredibly 'up' for this game and hope everyone is. Go ahead early in this game and we'll rip them to shreds, undoubtedly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Recoba Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Krul Simpson - S Taylor - Coloccini - R Taylor Obertan - Cabaye - Guthrie - Santon Ben Arfa Ba Harper, Perch, Gosling, Vuckic, Sammy, Shola, Best Would be my pick. By some accounts Santon has been quality going forward in reserve games and could offer protection to R Taylor in the abence of Jonas. Don't think his introduction would disrupt the team so much as opposed to playing Sammy who is more attacking. I didn't see the 90 of Man City though so I may be wrong. I would have Ben Arfa over Best, as I assume Best won't have trained all week so Ben Arfa should be sharper. If things aren't going well then get Best on alongside Ba for at least half an hour.

Heron Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 For the record, the pressure is on Chelski to contain us, not vice versa. They'll shit themselves after 5minutes, I'm sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think Ben Arfa is the key here, it's all set up for him. Has the skills to cause panic in that Chelsea defence running at them and threading through balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Craig-NUFC Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Would very much like to see Ferguson get the LW role over Sammy. As much as I love Sammy, I think he would be a liability defensively, especially since Sturridge has been on a good run and will most like be playing on the right.

The Prophet Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thinking about it, this would be an ideal oppertunity to introduce Santon. I really don't trust Taylor without Jonas in front of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
