mouldy_uk Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 2-1 win Think we will scrape a very unconvincing victory. In two minds about this game, on one hand I hate villa so a victory is required, on the other hand a defeat might just increase the pressure on Pards that little bit more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 2-1 win I think that's a pretty likely scoreline, until I have to imagine us getting the ball in the net somehow and it's like one of those dreams where you try and punch someone and it's like you're underwater, I just can't manage it.

KaKa Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Actually starting to think we'll win. Panic over etc. I know this is how it works, but I have read this whole thread and had a right old chuckle. You wouldn't all be so miserable if you had any idea just how incomprehensibly feeble we have been for months now. We haven't even gt a particularly good away record anymore, either[b/]. I found this amusing. The bit in bold is precisely why you will beat us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird Brummie, when I watched your lot play Liverpool you looked like a decent team, with plenty of purpose and attacking intent. Lambert seemed to have set you up to play 1-2's in the channels with a view to getting in behind and playing balls into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert seemed to have set you up to play 1-2's in the channels with a view to getting in behind and playing balls into the box. We do that. We play for 30 minutes here and there, put in a good performance. Then we just go to shit. There's no way, for example, we're capable of playing well for 90 minutes. Not 90 consecutive minutes, anyway. Maybe across four or five games, then we'd have a chance, but of late we've been abysmal. I've started to think lately that Lambo doesn't really "do" tactics. If we concede a goal or two, he'll go totally gung-ho to get back into it. Sometimes (like the two matches against Albion, one away where we were two down inside the first 12 minutes, and the home one where it was two down in the first 8 minutes) it works spectacularly well. Other times, though, he just goes mad, makes a few subs and sets us up with five up front and no midfield. It's usually entertaining to watch, but it is a bit nuts. Our problem at the moment is the midfield. He just doesn't seem to be able to permutate a selection from our options there which will work with any regularity. If you set out to attack us, then it could be a decent game. If you don't, then I suspect it'll be like watching two bald men fighting over a comb.

alexf Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I assume Williamson and Tiote are both out seeing as they are not in the any of the pictures, even the group shots. But there is still plenty of time before the game so they may well slot in. Can understand Sissoko going back on the wing as he's been poor in the middle since returning there, plus Pardew's dislike for Ben Arfa. It may be a 4-4-3 with Gouff on the right and Remy on the left with a middle 3 of Anita, Gosling and Sissoko. Shocking though if we do end up playing Gosling purely because of one injury to Tiote.

toontownman Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Never felt so 'meh' leading up to a game the end of the season Season is pretty much dead for many people now. I'd like to say I am looking forward to the summer and a new start but even that looks bleak with a complete squad overhaul looking likely and key players/fan favourites leaving. I am fully sensing a summer of Ashley selling up to dominate headlines. The perfect excuse for not signing anyone. I guess we have a few games left to admire Remy in a Newcastle shirt and sparing performances of Ben Arfa from the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I don't think this one is easy to predict at all. Both teams have some decent individual players but are led by Sunday pub team managers. Remy might be the difference though, as without him we'd struggle to pick up another point with Pardew's one man attack system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
