Robbo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 This outfit is light years ahead of Pardew's pack of vaginas. I wonder what Steve Stone's philosophy was.

Guest chopey Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Really looking forward to going to this on saturday, not because I'm convinced we'll win, just that I'll think we'll give them a game and thats all I really want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'd go: Krul Janmaat Mbemba Coloccini Haidara Anita Wijnaldum Thauvin de Jong Perez Mitrovic I think SMc will go: Krul Janmaat Mbemba Coloccini Haidara Anita Colback Sissoko Wijnaldum Thauvin Mitrovic Agree and until McCLaren stops playing both Anita and Colback in midfield then I will continue to say he is not the right man for the job because it is so obvious to see there is no excuse for it. That first side looks very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 So at least one of them will make it then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Would boost our chances hugely if they both missed out. Thought Gabriel did ok the other night but Chambers was all over the place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Would boost our chances hugely if they both missed out. Thought Gabriel did ok the other night but Chambers was all over the place. I think they're both decent players but obviously not better than the original two. Think the biggest bonus might be reduced their threat from corners and free kicks.

Yup, now he just needs to show he can be a footballing threat as well as a threat to the personal safety of the opposition. I jest, but his footwork has seemed clunky so far. Very, very early days and all that obviously Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Both Gabriel and Chambers won't be ready for Mitrovic in the air at all. And holding it up as a matter of fact. He uses his body so well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I still think we'll set up to concede the majority of possession and try to catch them on the break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Mitrovic would bowl Chambers over (if he plays like he did vs Liverpool). I just hope we get enough possession to actually get some decent deliveries in to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I'd play Krul; Janmaat, Haidara, Mbemba, Coloccini; Anita, Wijnaldum; Thauvin, De Jong, Perez; Mitrovic. Can see Colback being picked for Anita though, but not too bothered if Sissoko is back in for either De Jong or Perez. Please no Obertan this week anyway.

Put Colback in that line up and then play 'spot the odd man out' That front 4 would cause Arsenal no end of problems, then the possibility of Aarons and Sissoko from the bench when legs get a bit tired Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Didn't Mitrovic play against Arsenal last year in the Champions League? I am sure I read that he had a very good game against them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right and that's why McClaren is not a great manager because if you can't see such an obvious deficiency as playing Anita and Colback together then I'm sorry you have problems - hope he proves me wrong and doesn't pick the two and plays the team which actually makes us a whole lot better in every way but I doubt it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
