Gingeletiss Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Incredible effort from Yoshida since he's in Asia! Well Australia, to be exact ;-)
Bucks Saint Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Just caught the last 5 mins of MOTD Extra, just as they turned to a quick discussion about our game. Cue 5 minutes of how Van Gaal is doing, their array of attacking talent, how they may miss Young today and their injury record. Oh, and how Utd should have lost at SMS. Not a single word about us at all. Frankly it was amazing that they even mentioned we are the opposition for Utd today.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Anyone not going with this lineup? ----------------Forster-------------- Clyne----Fonte----Toby----Bertrand -------------Morgan----Wanyama---- --------------------Davis------------------ Tadic------------------------------------Elia ---------------------Pelle---------------------
Saint Matty 76 Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Anyone not going with this lineup? ----------------Forster-------------- Clyne----Fonte----Toby----Bertrand -------------Morgan----Wanyama---- --------------------Davis------------------ Tadic------------------------------------Elia ---------------------Pelle--------------------- Aye will definitely be this unless we go back to the 3-5-2 now Clyne's back.
S-Clarke Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Granite_City_Saint You're pretty bad with this posting malarkey.
Shroppie Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Well Australia, to be exact ;-) Whatever. Still a hell of a long shot.
Granite_City_Saint Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 You're pretty bad with this posting malarkey. My iPad seems to do this by itself. My fingers are probably too big.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Aye will definitely be this unless we go back to the 3-5-2 now Clyne's back. I think Yoshida is better in the 3 than Gardos and Elia will be played left wing so expecting the back 4 but nice to have options.
TheCholulaKid Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Anyone not going with this lineup? ----------------Forster-------------- Clyne----Fonte----Toby----Bertrand -------------Morgan----Wanyama---- --------------------Davis------------------ Tadic------------------------------------Elia ---------------------Pelle--------------------- Have I missed something? Has Koeman said Elia is starting? Seems like a bold, but welcome, move if so.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Have I missed something? Has Koeman said Elia is starting? Seems like a bold, but welcome, move if so. He hasn't said. Just that he will be involved. Im guessing he may well start because without Mane we don't have another wide player.
JxgrSaint Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Have I missed something? Has Koeman said Elia is starting? Seems like a bold, but welcome, move if so. He's been interviewed for. A bunch of different tv programs - would seem like that's the preface to a first start...
Pamplemousse Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Hope Luke Shaw gets a good reception and he doesn't get booed. Let's save the vitriol for when Liverpool come to town next month
Saints foreva Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Hope Luke Shaw gets a good reception and he doesn't get booed. Let's save the vitriol for when Liverpool come to town next month He doesn't deserve a good or bad reception. Hopefully our fans just ignore him.
Bearsy Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 If Man Utd have any honour they'll bend over and give us back the 3 pts they stole in December. 1-2 Saints
Saint Charlie Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 He doesn't deserve a good or bad reception. Hopefully our fans just ignore him. I would say he deserves a decent reception. Was great for us and got a no brainer 100k a week move to Man Utd.
VectisSaint Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 If Man Utd have any honour they'll bend over and give us back the 3 pts they stole in December. 1-2 Saints Fat chance of that then.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 (edited) Slightly suprised Tadic left out but he is miles better at home than away. Better sub options than most we have had this season. Assuming JWP is on the right, lets hope Shaw doesnt venture forward much because JWP's defending is lightweight. Their team is strong and well balanced but Falcao not even on bench. Edited 11 January, 2015 by Saint Charlie
Wiggles31 Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 That is a very decent team and strong bench too. COYS! Getting more and more confident for this. Am working so will be turning my phone off at 4pm and watching the game from recorded at 8pm tonight.
Dr Who? Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Can we get our fist win at OT since the 80's (in the league)? I don't think so 3-1 to the Mancs. Would love it, but I just cannot see it!
Wiggles31 Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Entertaining 2-2 draw for me. That said they have very strong attacking options but am still not convinced by Jones and Smalling as CBs and Valencia as RB.
Batman Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Their forward players are frightening They are shyte in defence though
saintbob40 Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 No Tadic? JWP 59 PL starts as an advanced mid- zero goals.
The Cat Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Can we get our fist win at OT since the 80's (in the league)? I don't think so 3-1 to the Mancs. Would love it, but I just cannot see it! Our team would easily take theirs in a fight, which is what I'll console myself with if we lose.
Supersubpuckett Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 i think rooney and van persie will destroy our defence today first humping of the season
lickierambert Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Their forward players are frightening They are shyte in defence though Got to target Smalling and Blind but yest that front 4 are very good
igsey Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 No Tadic? JWP 59 PL starts as an advanced mid- zero goals. Four assists in his last 4 games though. Tadic has been off the boil for a few games, needs to earn his place back.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 No Tadic? JWP 59 PL starts as an advanced mid- zero goals. He certainly has something to prove as an attacking force from open play.
Coxford_lou Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Exciting lineup! Couple more JWP assists would be nice....
JxgrSaint Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Weren't half their team meant to be injured? Don't like the look of this anymore....
Saint_Tony Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 i think rooney and van persie will destroy our defence today first humping of the season How many other teams have they done it too though? We have one of the best defences in the league, only Man City have really torn us apart. I expect to lose, but only by the odd goal
Coxford_lou Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 He certainly has something to prove as an attacking force from open play. According to Shurlock's memory, x2 assists from dead ball x3 from open play. So maybe doing better than you recollect?
del boy Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Anyone not going with this lineup? ----------------Forster-------------- Clyne----Fonte----Toby----Bertrand -------------Morgan----Wanyama---- --------------------Davis------------------ Tadic------------------------------------Elia ---------------------Pelle--------------------- Koemon, it seems.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Dietmar Hamann on Elia: @henrywinter @JWTelegraph Not sure what they saw in him. Would be very surprised if he makes an impact. Hopefully we get his form from Holland not Germany.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 According to Shurlock's memory, x2 assists from dead ball x3 from open play. So maybe doing better than you recollect? Maybe, but overall from open play I don't see great attacking instincts. Excellent player, but not someone who worries an opponent IMO from an attacking perspective.
Aziz Yebda Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 United will win this based on individual brilliance, not team ethics.
Coxford_lou Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Maybe, but overall from open play I don't see great attacking instincts. Excellent player, but not someone who worries an opponent IMO from an attacking perspective. If he gets assists, it doesn't matter if the opposition was worried or not! I know what you're getting at, but I think he was of these less flash players who increasingly plays an important role for winning....
NickG Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 No Tadic? JWP 59 PL starts as an advanced mid- zero goals. JWP has been pretty much first choice when fit for while. Seems to be seen well ahead of Cork and on par with Tadic. Excellent reliable team player.
Bucks Saint Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Happy with this team, Tadic as an option later on, gives us another attacking choice other than Long
Lighthouse Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 With a front four which cost £150m we have no right getting anything from this game. Still, let's see what happens. COYS!
whelk Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Dietmar Hamann on Elia: @henrywinter @JWTelegraph Not sure what they saw in him. Would be very surprised if he makes an impact. Hopefully we get his form from Holland not Germany. Hamann wrote off Yaya Toure remember
jawillwill Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Morgan's leg looks heavily strapped up at the moment. What's with that?
CumbrianSaint Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 So weird this Sky build up, we are being treated as a genuine top 4/6 team which is great, but very surreal
Under Weststand Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 United at full strength. Will be interesting to see how we cope. Please don't give them any presents today lads. COYS let's do this.
Plastic Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Commentator is actually creaming his pants for United.
Saint_Abroad Posted 11 January, 2015 Posted 11 January, 2015 Why do they play the Rocky theme when teams come out?
