Beren Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Reckon it'll be nils apiece or maybe a 1-0 either way. Both will go into the game trying not to lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Based on his interview I think we're going to see one of two things... Krul, Janmaat, Mbemba, Colo, Dummett, Colback, Anita, Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Obertan, Mitrovic/Cisse Krul, Janmaat, Mbemba, Colo, Dummett, Colback, Wijnaldum, Sissoko, Perez, De Jong, Mitrovic/Cisse The second lineup is our "attacking" lineup. The question is if he starts with that. The first one could see De Jong in for Obertan. I think he's genuinely undecided about Mitrovic vs. Cisse.

toon25 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Dummett won't be fit, nor will Colo by the sound of things. It'll be Williamson/Taylor at the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Forgot Dummett was hurt. Not ruling out Colo. If Colo isn't available he has to start Mbemba. We deserve everything we get if it's the two jokers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Sounds like it'll be Krul Janmaat Williamson Taylor Haidara Anita Colback Sissoko De Jong Wijnaldum Mitrovic Sounded like he only wants Wijnaldum further back when we're chasing a game.

nemtizz Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 The fact we're starting a new season with Williamson and Taylor at the heart of defence means everyone at the club has failed, including McClaren. Haven't even kicked a ball and we're already fucked. Digracefully shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but we should be starting like that though, not wait until we concede to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 There's absolutely no excuse for Wijnaldum not playing CM at all times, for starters if Gladbach is any indication he's miles better there and secondly the alternative is Colback-Anita We'll be shite if he doesn't play CM, if he does play we might be decent.

Klaus Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 He said that sissoko is best in the middle as a box to box player which is a good sign. The way he lines up for this first gane will tell me an awful lot about Mcclaren, and if we should have some hope that things will improve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanj Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (1) I think we'll eventually see Sissoko as a CM next to a partner (with license to get forward constantly) (2) I think we'll see Wijnaldum in one of the front 3 behind striker positions, assuming that will be wide right or left. (3) I also think Perez is being touted as a starter wide left b/c of his abilities. (4) Sounds like De Jong is the central linchpin, did I hear him right saying that he was "our best player" ? or did I hear that wrong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 3-1 to Southampton Pretty much this unless Southampton just turn to shite like we did after qualifying for the deadly, evil Europa League. Certainly hard to see us keeping a clean sheet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he lines up for this first gane will tell me an awful lot about Mcclaren, and if we should have some hope that things will improve. He kind of said that initially, by agreeing with the caller, but then he talked about how he plays out wide of a three for France and how finding his best position is important. What I took from that is Sissoko is one of his first names on the team sheet, but he's not certain of his position yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
