Flip Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 This team, Palace and the Mackem are the teams to beat this season. Mackems, Pardew, van Gaal and Froggy all deserve to rot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the teams you mentioned you might get a point at home to Sunderland. No chance on Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Just me who's a little bit worried that one of Perez/Aarons might not even make the bench now that we've signed Thauvin? Obertan should be the one imo. (crow foot will probably even start) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 suspect mclaren will try and play safe here picking 'established' players like obertan for their experience and the game will be over before it's begun i'd play krul mbemba taylor colo haidara anita sissoko wijnaldum thauvin aarons mitrovic i'm assuming dummett isn't fit or i'd have him in instead of haidara, if sissoko is out then ginger jack in obvs basically try and play it like that time we beat them under pardew, get them all in as a solid unit with the 2 wide players under explicit instructions to cover their fullbacks and then when we get the ball hit them like fuck on the break with the ball into mitrovic and people running off him hence sissoko in the middle with the main job of supporting attacks, followed by wijnaldum...if it's colback, anita & obertan we're done like, no point switching on imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Sissoko and jaanmat out, we need to frighten them (or try to) with some pace and power i.e. Aaarons, flaurian & mitrovic. If not i think we will be rather funky doodle doooed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not i think we will be rather funky doodle doooed! I'm not so sure if we need loads of pace. Apart from when they played Brugge the other day they have never really went out to attack teams that well, they have sat back a lot trying to retain possession. If we we go at them then that's where we will get hurt, on the break. We need to make the most of any opportunity to counter attack instead of taking the game to them. In saying that McClaren usually shines more in these types of games and has decent amounts of success at OT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 If Sissoko is out: Mbemba Taylor Colo Haidara Wijnaldum Anita Thauvin Perez/De Jong Aarons Mitrovic Is the team I'd play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Romero, Darmian, Smalling, Blind, Shaw, Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger, Mata, Depay, Januzaj, Rooney. That's what I expect from us. Young possibly in for Januzaj. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 if you play De Jong you HAVE to play Wijnaldum behind him and you HAVE to play Aarons and Thauvin. Basically what I'm getting at is De Jong + Mitro need basically 3 pacy guys around them which includes a box to box and 2 wingers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Bastian finally fit to start? Where is Rojo? Quite possibly. If he's still not quite fit it'll be Carrick again. Rojo is still on his way back but is available for selection and might make the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't my point, my point was that we should seek to counter attack and not take the initiative to them. In their two PL matches they haven't exactly broke teams down well.

Sounds good! Might as well give it a go. We're nowhere near good enough defensively to park a bus. Unlike Tottenham and Villa, a bit of shoot on sight might be worth a go against their new keeper.
