2bias 3 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The team isn't what I expected but that's still a good side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarStripes 0 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 No idea what shape that team fits in to?! 4 central midfielders, 1 winger and 1 striker...eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubiousBobcat 0 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Lets hope Mbwia brings out the best of Williamson, otherwise we are well and truly fooked. Also, Bigi starting is a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5296 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I wonder if Marveaux is being left out for a final push when they're getting tired. Alongside Ben Arfa perhaps. Presumably the idea is that we're putting out the best defence we can - if things go tits up because the defence aren't good enough, then there's no point in risking some of the main players getting tired. If we're in a good position around 60 minutes, maybe we turn up the heat and see the game out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarStripes 0 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 4411 apparently with Bigi on the right. Obertan clearly has no future here thank fuck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5296 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Come to think of it, we've got quite a defensive set up there. I wonder if the plan is ultimately for the midfield to get behind the ball save for Cabaye who acts as the link up to Sissoko and Cisse. It'd remove some of their counter-attacking potency and put less stress on our defence. They didn't look too great either, defensively. Maybe it'd work.

There's enough quality to score and we're set up to keep a clean sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
