I think the only way we're going to score is from a set-piece because there will be no creativity in that side. Not looking forward to watching us lump the ball up for 90 minutes :(.

 

 

stay positive mate, we fare pretty well in europe, fellaini should have a good game as it will be at his pace, will be a hard game id imagine, but a game were still well capable of winning

Big ask to go there and take them apart like we did to Athens with Pienaar, Saha and Rodwell all out - that's a lot of creativity and spark gone from the team. That said, in Bily and Baines we've got two great dead ball specialists to feed Cahill, Felli, Yobo, Jo etc in the air, so I'll be happy to see us play deep, get men behind the ball, not concede a goal and try hit them from set pieces. Might not be pretty but any kind of win there puts us in a fantastic position.

Hibbert Yobo Distin Baines

 

Gosling Osman Fellaini Bily

 

Cahill

Jo

 

Subs: Yak a definite to come on for 20 mins/half an hour, esp if we're losing, then whichever of the kids Moyes feels confident in giving a run out. Not a lot of options really when you look at it!

I dont see how you can say that because he wasnt tested, granted he did ok going forward

 

Oh and Niell isnt available for European games

 

Well i did :D i know he wasnt tested majorly but i think a european player would skin Hibbert two-fold and he's our only other option. I know Neil isnt now :P

 

you think it suits playing gosling against pacy wingers?? not exactly a speeder gosling and also with a lack of experience there could easily get caught out against pacy wingers...as said the only reason he did ok against athens was because he was goin forward and had very little defending to do. Hibbert any day of the week at right back over gosling

 

Ive put a fiver on it, that if we concede its because Hibbert lost his man or got skinned. Gosling is faster than Hibbert, and i think Hibbert would get anihilated against European opposition. Gosling plays and has played at RB, for the England set-up through the years and may have some edge to dealing with wingers. That's why i put that, chill Paul :)

I think Nogs, you've got it spot on. Played scrappy against Pompey, it will happen again tonight. I dont care though tbh, a win is a win, i'd still be content with a draw, its a tough away fixture! And as others have pointed out, the team's picking itself...only youth on the bench :blink: Quietly confident, although i think we'll concede...got a feeling first.

Someone has posted on Kipper that Yobo is out too and Hibbert will play CB with Gosling at RB. Oh fuck. At least he'll have reason to be in the centre now instead of drifting in and leaving our right side completely exposed.

 

Oh bloody hell lol we cant afford any injuries tonight either. I know some are absent through suspension rather than injury but anymore and we'll be calling on the legends to strap their boots on again :D
