Guest BooBoo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Considering they caused us more than a few problems at SJP, I would brace yourselves for a Pards reshuffle. Tiote in for HBA, Guthrie out on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Should see a rare outing for the orange shirt. aye, the unlucky orange shirt worn only once away at Blackburn in the cup co-incIding with our 1st defeat of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a fucking mint dance move I quite like the 'Pards 360 feat. folded arms' when we miss a chance, and also the Bruce Forsyth pose he did after (I think) Ba's first goal against Man U.

Newcastle Fan Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Like Krul said, we've got 9 cup finals coming up, looking at the table winning this one would be massive, i don't think it'll be impossible to beat Liverpool at St.James's too, do both and that's one solid foot in Europe.

Dave Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Not really, we're still reliant on the FA Cup being favourable. Can't see us finishing 5th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Would be great to get our shit together and win this one, points wise massive, but think well offer very little throughout the game while WBA will take their chances and punish us for sitting back too much.

JH Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 The way it's looking atm (getting headaches just looking at the 'Battle for Europe' thread ), I think we just have to get as many points on the board and try to finish as high as we can, rather than thinking about the FA Cup etc. Three points here would be massive, and we're due a win again this lot (no wins in our last 6). Really can't see it happening on current form though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolton Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Having read some of your posts it seems you hope that we will come out and attack you so you can counter and break with Cisse and Ba. Our recent improved home form has been with us pressing further up the pitch in a 4-5-1 or 4-3-3, denying the opposition time and space, worked a treat v Sunderland (4-0), seems that may play right into your hands. Earlier games where we lost quite a few, we were playing a more defensive 4-4-2, so to be honest, I'm not sure which way we will go, as the home team, the emphasis is on us to attack, so I suspect you may well get some joy at the Hawthorns, much as I hope you don't!

TRon Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Like Krul said, we've got 9 cup finals coming up, looking at the table winning this one would be massive, i don't think it'll be impossible to beat Liverpool at St.James's too, do both and that's one solid foot in Europe. Far from winning against Liverpool I'll be surprised if we don't get beaten comfortably. Liverpool will absolutely dominate possession and while we can get away with giving the ball to poor teams, the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea will murder us IMO. Our best bet is winning the games against lesser teams like Swansea and Bolton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 From one of their forums it looks likely they will play five across the middle like: Foster Tamas McAuley Olsson Ridgewell Mulumbu Morrison Andrews Odemwingie Thomas Fortune It doesn't look too bad a team if they play to their strengths (fastwingers and forward play). I would also go for a team that has counter attacking strength but can cover our wings so therefore no two strikers: ---------------------------Krul----------------------------- Simpson-----Willo---------Collo------------Santon Guthrie----Tiote-----Cabaye Ben arfa-----------------------------------Jonas ----------------------Ba--------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will play into your hands more, the harder we're pressed the more we launch it long in hope. So you've won the possesion battle already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'll be surprised if we can come out of this one with 3 points, our performances of late have been absolutely abysmal and with the pace of Long and Odemwingie up front I can see West Brom putting us on the back foot from the start. When we play a high line we always end up being exposed for pace and when we sit back we just invite pressure and try to ride our luck before going on the counter. Hodgson knows this and he'll be tactically prepared to make sure his team aren't exposed. The formation and team Venkman put down earlier I agree with 100%. If I'm honest though I think Pards will end up dropping HBA in place of Jonas to try to make us that bit more defensively secure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Would be happy with a draw here, I hate playing West Brom. Always shite games, and we do some massive fuck up. The last 3 against them have been absolute disgraces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
