I know i shouldn't be saying this but i hope Rafa is out for this game. I would like to see Ade and Saha upfront for this game.
i think we will lose this but beat utd - thats my two cents worth
Rafa who has scored 4 goals against them and is consistently in the top 3 players on the pitch in NLD's ?
------------Friedel
Walker Kaboul King Ekotto
------------Sandro
--------Modric Parker
VdV ---------------------Bale
----------Adebayor
(with the option of bringing Lennon & Saha on and switching to 442 if we so desire)
or maybe
---------Parker
Lennon Modric Bale
----------VdV
-------Adebayor
I dreamt of a 6-0 with a less than half full stadium at the end.
This really is the most unpredictable game in the league. I just hope we are really professional here. There is an expectancy of us here for the first time in my life to win.
I know we would love to take the tinkle, but Walcott, Chamberlain, Gervinho, and of course Van Persie are all players who are more than capable of hurting us. They are still more than a decent side. We will have to be at our best to get a win here.
I think it would feel absolutely amazing to go to their ground, outplay them and get a win there. Very tough. And as I say unpredictable. Anything could happen.
They are still an attacking threat and on their day their midfield is not too bad, not the push overs some are describing. They are weak at the back though and have a suspect mentality, and that is why players like Rafa are all the more important in these games. He's a winner and this game brings the best out of him. Go at them from the off. Concerted pressure on their back line and they'll crumble.
If you give me a draw now I would take it but I'm praying this match stays on script and we beat them.
