AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Every other option has weaknesses at least as bad as "not disciplined enough" though, don't they? If we had other FBs to choose from I might agree with you, but we don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 We don't have a good enough defence to defend, just attack the fuckers. We're on the up, they're on the down. We're at home, they're not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Santon LB, Jonas in the middle. Guthrie has been anonymous lately and isn't mobile enough. Jonas can protect the LB posiiton from there, as well as the CB's as well as getting forward. He's just that good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, Tiote can help with that job too i have no problems starting Santon, especially considering who he will be up against....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I seriously am pupmed up for this game. Us being where we are and with the comments of some of this weekend's opposiyion players saying we would never be where we are, it just gets me going. Really hope a sold out SJP will be noisy and intimidating. Would be a shame if we aren't going to make the most of the sold out crowd. The atmosphere of the Man Utd game on that cold wintery January night should be replicated. And stuffing these lot would just be as sweet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smal Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Guthrie really has not been anonymous recently. He's one of the only ones who look for the ball. Was one of the few who did ok vs Norwich and was good against West Brom. I wish the Guardian hadn't scrapped chalkboards, because now I have nothing to back that up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the Guardian hadn't scrapped chalkboards, because now I have nothing to back that up He was average at WBA in comparison to others and didn't have to do much to stick out against Norwich. Not that I'm calling him bad at all. Just much rather have a tireless Jonas in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Thought Guthrie's passing has been off in the past two games honestly. Not every pass but he definitely misplaced some passes more than others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I personally hope Pardew sets the team mindset to make the opposition worry about us rather than us being worried of them. Its been a long time since these lot came to us and we look to have the upper hand. A draw would be a good results but the mindset must be to go for the win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Santon LB, Jonas in the middle. Guthrie has been anonymous lately and isn't mobile enough. Jonas can protect the LB posiiton from there, as well as the CB's as well as getting forward. He's just that good! I'd go with this too. Attacking-wise though, Guthrie hasn't been too bad recently (though not as good as he was in January/February) but like you've said he isn't mobile enough. With Colo out, we need all the mobility/protection to the defence we can get and Jonas fits the bill. With him and Tiote in DM, we should have enough tools to cope......

Tiresias Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 to be honest i think strategy should be get ball to ben arfa, ben arfa to run at carragher, carragher to shit himself etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Wouldnt suprise me but iam expecting and want this........ Krul Simpson Williamson Perch Santon Tiote Jonas Cabaye HBA Cisse Ba That's what I think we'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Hopefully Santon plays. We need at least one defender who can play football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
