Kanji Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Will be a tough tie from both perspectives to be honest. But don't for one second think anything is done and dusted from Benfica's view man. Its business time in the cup, and honestly anything could happen in these 2 matches. Very much looking forward to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The ridiculous that is our season can be summed up in beating Chelsea 3-2 at home and then losing to Wigan 2-1 away. I haven't a clue what kind of performance we'll put out but our recent cup performances have shown a pretty solid back-line and we've somehow scored the important goals to get this far. Also, we haven't won shit for ages, hope you have 2 terrible legs and we nick 2 goals and get through man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Its been said before but for some reason this 2 legged stuff seems to suit Pardew down to the ground. If the FA Cup was 2 legged we might have a chance in the future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 We have all eyes on this cup I think that may have a bit to do with yesterdays performance, stupid as our ;eague position is nt safe but cup glory thoughts are taking over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 What's the likely pool of players we'll be choosing from for this one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 NUFC.com says "He also added that Cheick Tiote, Davide Santon, Sylvain Marveaux would all be OK for Benfica on Thursday". Team was: Elliot, Simpson, Yanga-Mbiwa, S.Taylor, Gutierrez, Anita, Cabaye (Bigirimana 74), Gouffran (Gosling 63), Sissoko, Obertan (Perch 46), Cisse. Subs n/u: Harper, Good, Marveaux, Campbell. So I guess the best we could hope for would be something like Krul/Simpson-Taylor-MYM-Santon/Cabaye-Tiote/Sissoko-Anita-Marveaux/Cisse, although you'd suspect to see Jonas or Shola in there somewhere. We really need some good wingers man, it's getting more painfully clear every game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 At least we won't have to see Jonas at LB again, i have never seen Nasri look so good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 At least we won't have to see Jonas at LB again, i have never seen Nasri look so good. I thought Jonas played ok, shows how bad he has been further forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Really looking forward to Thursday's game. It's a shame that team selection and planning will be inhibited by what looks like our most important match in ages 3 days later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
