Guest BooBoo Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 In a strange way, this may just be the game we need. We've played some dross so far and barely looked interested. A game at home on the telly v this lot could be just what we need to get a bit of fire in our bellies. Hopefully see Krul, Colo and Cabaye back, maybe even Taylor too. Pards hasn't lost too many at the Arena, and I can see it being yet another 2-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Keep your fingers crossed that Fergie starts with a midfield of Carrick, Scholes and Giggs again. Scholes pulling a hamstring in training would also be a benefit for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Watching Bale run at them got me excited to see what Hatem can do. Their midfield is poor too and thats where we can beat them. But yes, their forwards are scary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, their forwards are scary. The way he went past Ferdinand for his goal looked so easy, if given the space I've no doubt Hatem could do the same against him. Didn't think Ferdinand was as slow as he was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Keep your fingers crossed that Fergie starts with a midfield of Carrick, Scholes and Giggs again. they're all being left out of the squad to play cluj....so looks likely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Use our athletic advantage in midfield like we did last time, pressing them constantly. Play two forwards and bully the CBs. I'd actually have no problem with a rudamentary style of play in this game, it worked last time and it's the best option against this lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Would anyone else be surprised to see Shola start this one? I'm actually expecting it... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagten Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Shola will probably start. We'll inevitably go with a 4-4-2, and Shola with Ba is more suited to our direct approach that inevitably comes with that formation. Plus, it worked last time.

Dave Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Can see both defences leaking goals, 3-3. We've only scored three goals in a match twice since we played them last, that's 30 matches. Can't see us suddenly going crazy against Man Utd, even if we did do it last time. Just out of interest I've had a look and since Pardew arrived we've only scored more than two goals in a match 12 times, from 76 matches. Conservative.

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Not meaning to sound too negative, but if we're all honest a hammering has been on the cards since day 1 this season, some last ditch defending, luck and great forward play from Demba has saved us so many times, I think this might be the game it crumbles and we get an absolute pasting. I of course by no means want to see this happen but it could be exactly what we might need for Pardew to take some action regarding personnel, tactics and team selections and might give the boys in charge some idea of exactly why it was such a cock up that we didn't bring in more cover in the window. The longer this season goes on the more pissed off I'm getting with players lackluster performances, naive tactics and the fact we didn't strengthen at all in the summer.

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Funny thing is about all the shit performances that we are only 3 points from 3rd and 3 points off this lot coincidently. I'm confident, but i'm confident going to every game always have the belief we will get something for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank god there's a 2 week gap between the "United" game and the mackem one, hopefully enough time for all of the injured players to make a full recovery.

ExiledGeordie Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 If ever there was a game to highlight the lack of investment into key areas namely central defence then this is it. Had the chance to strengthen again this summer after the issue became glaringly obvious last season and yet they didn't do so. Articles from Ryder with quotes from Pardew saying "I plan to strengthen in January" just annoy me even more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
