Dave Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Pretty worried about someone smashing the fuck out of him tbh. Though naturally with Cattermole out the chances are lower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 If we play three in the middle we should have the majority of possession, as long as we're wise to their counters we should have enough for a result. Their midfield is fucking shocking and we should really dominate that battle. 442 is a different matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need some of what you've been drinking. I'd agree with your backline, but I'd go: Krul Santon Taylor Coloccini Ferguson Tiote Cabaye Jonas HBA Ba Cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I'd play the 433 with Cisse in the middle. It's what we do best seemingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_Taylor Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 International break boils my p*ss enough as it is, but we have to wait two weeks for this, probably the least enjoyable 90 minutes there is. It's always a tight nervous affair in the away version of the derby, can never relax at any point during the game. Only once, when Shola put us 4-0 up against ten men. Usually it's 90 minutes of torture and more often than not its tight right until the last kick. Was screaming for the final whistle last time at the SOL. f***ing Webb wanted to play all afternoon. I was pretty relaxed after Albert fucking Luque dinked one over Kelvin Davis like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistle17 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 A lot of it in these games is being up for the battle, having the stomach for it. It's vital we make a good start and don't let them get into us and intimidate us from the off- if they win the crowd over soon on it'll be a serious struggle. Obviously 'on paper' means nowt, but the quality we (potentially) have against them is so superior. Absolutely bricking it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 You just know we'll sleepwalk onto the pitch and batter long balls at Cisse until the Mackems take the lead; at which point we'll actually start to look like we give a shit. Ben Arfa is capable of absolutely killing them, though. Time to make himself a hero. Pretty much guaranteed they'll score in the first twenty minutes.

I need some of what you've been drinking. I'd agree with your backline, but I'd go: Krul Santon Taylor Coloccini Ferguson Tiote Cabaye Jonas HBA Ba Cisse close to strongest. anita & simpson are good alternatives. maybe good with a break now to get thinks fixed. hope we use the break to adjust and train /develop the 4-3-3. its the only way forward. Keep that formation for years to come and find the right players for the system and not just good bargains. its also an formation which is easy to adjust depending on opponent (4-5-1 defending and we have good players to counter, mostly arfa...wouldnt mind a pacey LW also)....as long as we dont play 4-4-2 one week and the 4-3-3 and so on....then we will never progress...imo.
