So seemingly no mention of Cheik being injured at press conference? Good news. Cabaye and Ben Arfa doubts. Let's hope Cabs is available. Otherwise I'd play:

 

                    Krul

Perch Coloccini Taylor Santon

Marveaux Tiote Anita Jonas

            Demba Papiss

 

 

Decent enough

Unless he is actually injured, for me it seems pretty poor that Cabaye should be unavailable for this game. They lost to Spain on the 23rd of June. That's just short of two months - bad man management if he simply isn't fit enough to be considered for selection. I really hope it is just Pards playing games.

I'd prefer 4-3-3 but I reckon we'll see:

 

                          Krul

 

Simpson  Taylor      Colo    Santon

 

Jonas      Cabaye    Anita  Marveaux   

 

                Ba            Cisse

Want too see a 4-3-3 with either Cisse or Ba. Hopefully perch can take the RB position but, I shouldn´t kidding myself when we all know Simpson will start.

 

Really exited about this, and really intresting to see the team.

 

Just because it´s problebly a 4-4-2 with Simpson, without Cab and Tiote and Obertan at the wing :lol:and oh. Hoof ball...

 

 

HOWAY :cheesy:

Marv and Jonas will most certainly be on the other sides.

Pards is definitely from the Fergie school of pre-match mind-games.

 

All of these 'doubtful' players will start, or at the very least be on the bench.

 

                        Krul

 

Simpson  Taylor      Colo    Santon

 

            Tiote                Anita

                      Cabaye

HBA                                          Ba/Marv

 

                      Cisse

 

Potential for Jonas to swap in for HBA or DS.

Would love it if Ben Arfa got a late check up and could play. If he could produce just a couple of moments theyd be really important as the first game of the season can often be sluggish and lack real tempo

If we get Debuchy that line-up will be totally :sweetjesus:

 

When was the last time we had a packed house for the first game of the season?

 

Whilst this is very true, our XI hasn't been that far off a bit of sweet jesus for some time. It's when the injuries hit that we start looking suspect.

 

Elliott

 

Tav/Raylor Perch Williamson Ferguson

      Bigi          gosling/abeid

          amalfitano/jonas

jonas/sammy                marv/fishbulb

              BIG SHOLS

 

 

 

(tbh, its better than I was expecting, but mainly in MF. GK/DF/ST all suspect)
