Kanji Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I’d go with a same tactic we did at Villa. But Tino has to be marking Saka. We need to be pressing high at times, reserving one CM to sitting. Break on the counter when possible. And try and keep it tight within a chance to bring in Isak, Willock off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 We're gonna get bummed into fucking space. Easy money if you can bet on at least one pen for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a decent chance it’ll be our worst game there since Walcott scored a hat trick but sadly I’m not expecting us to get goals Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geogaddi Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) 4-0, will be pissed of as well if Burn is dropped for this one knowing we are losing regardless of who is playing at left back . Edited February 18 by Geogaddi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 We absolutely cannot play the same team. This week's line up that won't happen: Dubravka Schar Botman Burn Trippier Tino Bruno Longstaff Murphy Isak Gordon Something like this. Hit them on the break.

SUPERTOON Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I’d have Lascelles above Burn in CB. Burn needs taking out the team and benched. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSG Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Dubravka Schar Lascelles Botman Trippier Livramento Bruno Miley Longstaff Gordon Isak Subs: Karius, Burn, Hall, Krafth, Ritchie, Barnes, Willock, Miggy, Murphy. Pack the centre of the park, keep it tight and use pace of Gordon and Isak on the break. Edited February 18 by NSG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is but you can’t just forfeit the league ffs or effectively not try in a game , there’s no way any manager in premier league history would do that- winning breeds winning also and at the least it’s a chance to give Isak some minutes and willock and make a plan for the future Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id take a 4 nil loss in the league to get a 1 nil win in the cup if that was offered to me right now and that what this season has done to me. I think that's what most people are getting at, just hoping we put everything into that Blackburn game to ensure progress is made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Dubravka Schar Lascelles Botman Trippier Livramento Bruno Miley Longstaff Murphy Gordon 3-5-2 Would actually try Tino RWB and Hall LWB and rest Trippier also. Save Isak and Willock for Blackburn and beyond. Edited February 19 by LFEE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Livramento starts, we lose and Burn is back at LB for Blackburn it'll be a bit of a throwback to when Pardew threw on HBA in lose lose situations almost as to fabricate a reason to us in why he was right in starting Obertan. This was the start of the 2011/12 season. HBAs first start was against Man City, and also started against Man Utd and Chelsea.

Even parking the bus.....we could end up with a heavy loss. The optimistic person in me says things will improve but the realist says this is a spanking and a whiff of revenge all wanked over by the media This is what I’m most worried about. Probably our two most contentious games in the last year were Arsenal away last season and then at home this season. They hate the way we play and they will feel aggrieved by the last game. They are definitely going to target Bruno. We are really going to miss Joelinton and Pope in this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
