Nobody Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Must say, it's nice having an away game and expecting us to win. Aye, last season was just horrible when every away game was pretty much a write off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gleebals Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 An away win for us, Liverpool V Everton Draw and Arsenal win would be ideal results for us. Cannot see Man U loosing although that would be nice too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andybiotics Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Reckon Cabaye will play? Or has his head been turned again? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If we haven't accepted a bid from anyone then he has to play. We can't drop such an important player just because other clubs are interested in him. If he is dropped though then Ben Arfa has to start in the number 10 role.

We didn't accept that ridiculous bid from Arsenal either, and he still bailed out. Missed 2-3 games if I remember right. Really hope he plays. Easily the most creative player we usually have on the pitch, and was brilliant against West Ham. Body language experts will be out in full force if he plays like.

Anything can happen. Sadly this is so, though I do agree that we should turn over Norwich with the quality we have. Would have said the same for West Ham last time out though, so it's not a novel feeling by any means. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh is a sad state of affairs if you can't expect to beat f***ing Norwich Yeah but like others have sadi we always trip up, just when we are looking decent and have a bit of confidence about us we always seem to have dodgy game. I dont expect to beat anyone in this league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If Cabaye's still here, this one's ours. May see some sort of effect if he's gone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 If Cabaye's still here, this one's ours. May see some sort of effect if he's gone. Our players should be mentally stronger than to let 1 transfer effect them to any sort of degree. We still have much better players than Norwich.

Shola wins again i'm afraid, although Ben Arfa is only sensible replacement (Although I would put him out right and move Sissoko) Thing is Sissoko has 5 assists from right midfield this season and I'd like to see what Hatem could do with an extended spell at no10.

I'm just not convinced Ben Arfa can play that position, the few times he has been put there he is anonymous. His movement off the ball is not great and does not contribute as much. Sissoko isn't great there but he is a threat because of his power, pace and mobility that pushes opposition back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just tell Ben Arfa to drift wherever there is space. Would still be far more effective than playing Shola who will just stand around upfront giving needless fouls away. Provided Cabaye isn't playing ofcourse. If he is then I'd argue Ben Arfa should play instead of Gouff, as Gouff has dropped a bit recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
