McFaul 35 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Not sure we are better than them in 'all departments', well not on Sunday anyway. It's going to be Perch and Guthrie in the middle, isn't it? Aye fair point but Cabaye and Tiote would be their best players. We'll still piss it, they're shit at bigger clubs in bigger stadiums. Arsenal scored 3 in 7 mninutes against them, we'll be sweet. They've only lost twice away from home this season. We've only lost twice in our last 16 home games. Man Utd hadn't lost in 20 away games when we beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Going on what Pardew said in the presser he reckons they'll be quick on the break today. Really hope you've not traveled to SJP today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baggio 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I think Pardew will start Cisse from the bench knowing that if we're struggling to break them down his introduction will give the team and fans a lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CabayeAye Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If you're not going to start Cisse, you might as well start with 10 men, because Best and Shola are a waste of a squad number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If you're not going to start Cisse, you might as well start with 10 men, because Best and Shola are a waste of a squad number. Yet Best and Ba struck up a good partnership earlier in the season before his injury so he can't be that much of a waste. The point being Cisse doesn't have any understanding with his team mates yet so why throw him in at the deep end after 2 days when he can give us a much needed lift from the bench if we need it? The alternative if he doesn't hit the ground running is we sub him off for one of Best or Shola, neither of those will lift the crowd or the team in the same way.

I can see your point, but I feel that a Cisse with no understanding is still better than a Best or a Shola with no ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 All of this was said about Ben Arfa, Marveaux and Santon earlier in the season yet we didn't see a massive improvement when they were thrown in from the start did we? Parses could well play him from the start and he's excellent but he's a trump card that doesn't need to be thrown in at the start and can offer us something that none of the rest can from the bench, like Asprilla's debut.

Holden McGroin 6785 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Would like to see 4-3-1-2 with Bafra behind the Dembas. Krul Simpson Willo Collo Santon Jonas Guthrie Perch Bafra Demba Demba There'd be absolutely no width in the team with that formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17698 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 He got off the plane and went straight to the ground. He also had a nice glass of red with lunch before KK asked him if he wanted to be in the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonyTOON 10 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I would like to see - Krul Simpson. willo, Colo, Santon Obertan. Guthrie, Raylor, Jonas Ben Arfa Ba And then have cisse as an impact sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46088 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Your memory's better than your plumbing I've just had to have ten minutes of her dad talking at me on the phone telling me how I should have done it. When he'd finished his fucking monologue I told him "Aye I'm getting a plumber in. I'll put your daughter back on. Bye." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46088 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 No snow in N. Shields, so I assume the same at SJP. It's rained a canny bit, but nothing remotely match threatening. I've had enough of the Met Office talking shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestBaNone 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Haven't read all 6 pages so don't know if this has been mentioned but... This is the first time this season that we're playing in a league fixture that we won last season.

Davey Dave 0 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 If Villa run in zig zags we'll be fine--straight lines however, and we're fucked. That was the same advice given to people in Washington DC when the sniper was at large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I don't get why people are thinking we will start Cisse on the bench? He's fit, played half a season at Freiburg and put in a shift at the ACN. He should hit the ground running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Aye I hope he plays tbh, he's had a few weeks training with Ba so they've had enough time to form a bit of understanding. I'd rather play him even if he knew no-one than watching Best and shola again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Watched some of the Man City game and the weather was awful. Snowing all the time and by the final whistle the grass looked on the white side. Any chance of our match being called off? Wouldn't really mind if it was as these early kick-offs mean me getting up at 5 in the morning and that's not ower canny fer an owld gadgee.
