joeyt Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Why wouldn't Mbiwa start? he's fit, played practically every game this season and will have about a week to train with his new team mates. There is absolutely no reason why he wouldn't start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Why wouldn't Mbiwa start? he's fit, played practically every game this season and will have about a week to train with his new team mates. There is absolutely no reason why he wouldn't start. As with all players, Yanga-Mbiwa does have faults and areas of his game to improve. For a player who has shown he can head the ball well and rise above opponents, the defender’s scoring record is poor and is an area he can look to improve. Four goals in 160 games is not the best return for such a talented player in many areas of the attack. At times the defender’s longer passes can be improved, with a little more refinement needed when picking out the run of an attacking colleague. However, when it comes to short, sharp passing under-pressure, it must be added that the Montpellier man is excellent (85.9% overall pass completion). Going to have to work on that for a month or two do dislodge Willo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 We don't have time to ease new signings in, I think he'll only do it to Sissoko. Reckon he'll choose: Krul Debuchy Yanga-Mbiwa Coloccini Santon Anita Jonas Marveaux Cabaye Gouffran Cisse BENCH: Elliot, Taylor, Haidara, Perch, Obertan, Sissoko, Shola Which leaves no room for Willo And you know what? I think we'll win this one. The atmosphere seems to have changed around the club now. Against Reading we played a poor side with spirit, whilst Aston Villa are a poor side with no spirit.

Yeah definitely has the potential to be a turning point if the feel good factor filters down to the pitch. Never know which Chelsea will turn up the next game either. Could be the one that thrashes teams or the one that can't be bothered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToonZA Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 There really cannot be any excuses from Pardew when it comes to putting out the best 11 at our disposal (barring injuries) and giving it the beans. We need a win desperately. If I see any hoofball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The way they've paraded MYM so far suggests he's seen as one of the most important players. Can't see him not starting especially after Pardew's whinging about needing players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 i'm going to stick my neck out and say willo will start Don't think he would have been starting even if we hadn't signed MYM - might not even make the bench now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisJbarnes Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I live in Birmingham and saw a Villa fan so pissed off he sellotaped his season ticket to a tree. I thought "I'll have that, you can never have enough sellotape" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TCD23 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Why I get the feeling Ameobi will be making an appearance for absolutley no reason sometime during the match as Pards decides to go, "defensive" despite that not working once. Please let me be wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Can't see Gouffran starting. Jonas and Obertan either side of Cisse is the best I'm hoping for, which is quite ridiculous in all honesty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Hope Gouffran plays, he's here already and there's 5 days before the game. Maybe second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I can't see why Taylor wouldn't start in this. If he was on the bench against Reading he must be very close otherwise why would he have been on the bench? He'll have had another 10 days training so he'll simply have to start if Colo isn't playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 If Shola starts ahead of Gouffran man Even Ryan Taylor said a few months ago that Shola can barely play 60 minutes, I know we've had a lack of options recently, but there's no excuse now.
