alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I worry how much of our attacking threat came through Remy against Norwich. I know Ben Arfa was pulling the strings but most of the real goal threat came from Remy with his two shots that hit the post. Hopefully we still have enough to score some goals.

aussiemag Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Team will be this .... Krul Debuchy. Saylor. Williamson. Santon HBA. Anita. Tiote. Sissoko. Sammy Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Ben Arfa was pulling the strings but most of the real goal threat came from Remy with his two shots that hit the post. Hopefully we still have enough to score some goals. This - despite his lack of goals over the past few weeks, Remy is still by far our most dangerous forward and his pace/movement up front are the main reason why we are in the position we are in this season. We will miss that badly on Saturday and the Mackems will be heaving a sigh of relief that he isn't playing. This will be a tight game and we will probably have to rely on a sub appearance from HBA with a breakaway goal or one of his specials to get something. It will be an uphill battle if they get their noses in front after HT..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Johnson always f***ing scores past us. Atleast Santon should handle him better than f***ing Jonas did last year. I wouldn't bank on that either - Johnson could quite easily take Santon to the cleaners if Gouffran is not protecting him.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Looks like Remy should be available then, excellent. Wonder what Gouffrans chances are of being fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Gouffran struggling. De Jong 'unlikely' to start. No word on Cisse. Shola to start then?!?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 We'll just have to hope Shola has one of his legendary mackem slayer games. Clutching at straws but when there's nothing else to clutch them straws will have to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 There's no doubt Shola has presence against this bunch. Even their fans know how shit he is but think he's always going to score past them. Even Ameobi mentally will feel much stronger. 7 goals in 12 games against them and he's rescued us before. Even if Shola hasn't scored in a 100 billion minutes of football, I still actually fancy him to grab one on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 If Remy and Gouffran are out we have to start De Jong and/or Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Not confident about this game at all. Especially without Remy. Think Mackems will sneak a 0-1, through Johnson (who always seems to score against us and is in fine form right now ), with us having a lot of possession but they get their noses in front and we are unable to convert any of the chances we make.

alexf Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Likely team I expect: Krul Debuchy Williamson Taylor Santon Anita Tiote Ben Arfa Sissoko Sammy Shola At least the midfield looked good against Norwich but we couldn't even score then with Remy.
