Shearergol Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 7 hours ago, brummie said: No idea what will happen tomorrow, but home form dipped in which way? We've played 10 home league matches, won 9 and drawn 1, scored 29 and conceded 8. We also won 7 out of our last 7 home league matches at the end of last season, and haven't lost at home in the league since Arsenal beat us, very nearly a year ago. ;-) Getting back to the matter in hand, though, we've not been great in general the last few weeks, and we're really, really missing Pau Torres, who is massively important to the way we play (although Lenglet has looked ok of late, he's still nowhere near as good at passing out of defence). We also could do with a fit and firing Jacob Ramsey back asap. Diaby is also currently going through a terrible period, really out of form. Digne is also out, he was excellent for us first half of the season. On the positive side, Tielemans is back fully fit, Moreno is starting to look the player he was before his injury, and after having decided he was the only player Emery could not do anything with, Bailey is now making me look like an idiot and starting to look like he's worth every penny of what we paid for him . Hoping we get firing on all cylinders again soon, though. Martinez Cash Konsa Lenglet Moreno Luiz Kamara McGinn Tielemans Watkins Bailey I reckon.

SUPERTOON Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Torres being out for them gives us a bit of a chance, if it’s Carlos and Lenglet CB I fancy is to cause them problems. The main issue is I can’t see how our midfield competes against them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue is I can’t see how our midfield competes against them. The best thing you can see on the team sheet is exactly that, Carlos and Lenglet with Konsa at RB, as he's absolutely wasted there, and Carlos isn't anywhere near as good a CB. I hate it when we do it, but we do do it quite a lot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Aye, we probably need to bypass the midfield where possible. Tbf, Villa do play that high line so it's potentially a good time to accept sitting deeper and hoping Isak and Gordon's pace can cause problems.

Aye, plenty horrible sitting back and catching them exposed is the only hope. Not going to bother watching and just pray when I check the result we’ve got something somehow.

alexf Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Feel like I say this most weeks now but Tino in for Burn to help deal with Bailey. Also would give us some pace at the back which we seriously lack and Watkins will run us ragged if we get caught high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team that day was probably the strongest we've had since the Robson era, up to what we have now. Shame about the prick who was managing them. A half decent manager would have had that challenging top 6 that season. Edited January 30 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 History is on our side today - its historically been a good day including a win against Villa, agreeing a fee for Woodgate and completing the Bruno signing. On the downside Cabaye got a 3 match ban on a retrospective review and I fully expect Bruno to have a 2 match ban after tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
