Sima Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 We need to start winning but I can't see it happening here and with away games at Watford and Everton coming up, we're fucked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 For me this is a must-win. We really need to start picking up points and this is the kind of match we need to be looking towards for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Think are season is just going to continue at random, hopefully a few more wins since our midfield is about to improve. Can't see any game we 'should win'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 A draw would be OK, West Ham in very good form. na it wouldn't, we need to start winning games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 A draw would be OK, West Ham in very good form. na it wouldn't, we need to start winning games. Yeah we do, but we cannot be going into games vs teams in good form, sitting top 7 and expecting to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 From what I've seen of West Ham this season they seem happy to soak up a lot of pressure and the let Payet/10 and the quick forwards do their thing on the counter and from set pieces. They're a pretty athletic team n all so I can't see this changing for us even though they're obvious favourites and in good form. While we need to start winning I don't think a draw is the worst result as at least it keeps our very slow positive momentum going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Must-win games don't really exist imo, especially in January. Other than games you mathematically need to win to not go down. If there was such a thing as must-win then Sunderland would been relegated 4 or 5 years straight. Anything can happen, particularly for a team like ours that is set up to counter attack.

ujpest doza Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Got to win this. We'll get nothing from the 2 away games after this and a worrying gap is beginning to develop above us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeloEmre Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I would start with both Saivet and Shelvey. Nothing to lose, can't be worse than Colback anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This is pissing me off now, what are people's definitions of a must-win game? Like, what happens if we don't win it? We will definitely go down even though there are 16 games left and we're only a few points adrift? I'm not having a pop or committing myself one way or the other on whether we'll go down or not, but must-win games in January when we're not completely fucked yet FFS. I'm gonna send this on to McClaren for his team talk. "Chill lads". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 It's mandatory that we turn up and play this game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I honestly think it's a nice-to-win game. Not like we should down tools and start talking to Marlon Harewood if we don't win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 There's like what, 17 games to go? If we win 6 of them we'll stay up. Win or lose the next game it still shouldn't be that hard of a job for a club like us to sort out (I kna, I kna) Just have to hope Jonjo sticks in and Saivet isn't total shite.

I'm gonna send this on to McClaren for his team talk. "Chill lads". I think the worry is a gap will start to open up. Tough fixtures coming up and confidence will only go downhill the longer we wait for a win. Obviously we're not down if we dont but there has to come a point where you start winning games.

toptoon Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Colback will probably start and Saviet will probably come off bench late in second half. Perez i really think has great potential but agree he may need a rest. Save for an impact sub role. Aarons could be immense and is definitely worth another shot while he is fit. Elliott Mbember Colo Dummet Jaanmaat Shelvey Colback/Tiote? Sissoko Aarons Gini Mitrovic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Would like to see something like: ------------------Elliott-------------------- Janmaat - Mbemba - Colo - Dummett Sissoko - Saivet - Shelvey - Thauvin ---------------Winjaldum----------------- ----------------Mitrovic-------------------- Perez as sub to replace either one of Thauvin, Winjaldum or Mitrovic.

Don't think Saivet will start as well as Shelvey as he has no prem league experience. Thauvin i am not sure we will be seeing him in this game ...or for a while. Possibly being sent back to France.

Guest chopey Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 It will be the same team as Tuesday with Shelvey replacing Tiote and Colback holding. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
