    I'm not panicking or anything, but Obertan was just quite good against Swansea, and he was by far our best threat. Did anyone else get a shot on target?

    It says something when Obertan is the only player than can create anything or even provide something close to a ****ing threat.

    We have a seriously lack of punch up front. Poor Cisse again being called a **** footballer, but he was forced to track back and again isolated as a loner CF.

    No ****ing service at all. Until we get players that can cross in, we're going to have to try and use pace, flair and counter attacks to beat our teams, as crossing into the box is just not an option now.

    The only thing we can do is stay compact and try to hit Man Utd on the break. Shock them.

    My team for the bigguns coming up soon -

    ----------Perez----------
    Obertan-----------Aarons--
    -------------Wijnal---------
    -----Colback----Sissoko----
    Haidara--Colo--Mbeba--Anita
    -----------------Krul---------------

    Cisse is not a bad player but he's nothing without any service. The likes of Perez and Aarons are better on the ball and can do to produce something out of nothing.

    I'd have Sissoko, if he's fit, backing up Anita who should play a mainly defensive RB. I'd play a more flat back four and just let our pacier player break forward.

    Yeah we need a new system and approach. I suggested something in my thread which i believe would be far better balanced....not many agree some people think just swapping sissoko with a natural winger will help but no not at all in my opinion.

    We should be on zero points and will likely be bottom im two games time. I think if we play the current system and side were going down and im not even joking this time

    That midfield would get raped so badly it's not even funny.

    I disagree

    Your selection would offer absolutely nothing in either attack or defence


    We can do either so ive gone for it. Im basically saying try something different i dont think id like that coming at me but currently its just kick it into the corner and sent Obertan after it.

    Why not sign usain bolt instead

    Throw colback or tiote in for sissoko if you please i like the idea of sissoko and gini in the middle they can both tackle and are box to box

    Anita and colback offer nothing and we are stuck with them.

    Until they aren't in the side we are doomed the defensive element to their game is a myth.

    Anita wouldn't add alot to the attack, but he's a solid enough defender, and would allow Aarons some freedom. Obertan has been looking canny recently and the only player that's looked like creating anything, and he's also worked hard all round. Perez has class about him. He scored 7 goals last season despite **** service.

    Wijnal would also back up the front three, while Colback and Sissoko add pressure to the man utd central midfield.

    Sissoko and Wijnal at CDM would get raped mate. Wijnal is still adjusting to the pace of the league, as shown by his bitchslapping against Swansea. Attacking wise he can do just fine, I have faith in that, but defensively he'll take time. Sissoko is decent defensively, but needs someone of a different style like Colback or Tiote next to him.

    Wijnal and Sissoko are both more attacking minded, and I don't see them doing well together just infront of the back four.

    If we play a more 4-3-3 formation it gives more freedom to attackers and the CM's can aid the fullbacks, rather than the wingers having to track back as often.

    Mitrovic needs to calm down, and I don't see why he deserves a start based on his conduct so far. I've never seen anything like it in my life.

    In my opinion your team would get bitchslapped by United. You can argue the same about mine, but we can only play what we have at the moment.

    Regardless of what team we play, we're up against it against United. I don't see us breaking them down, and they have far too much class for our team that is going to take a while to sort out.

    I do take your points, however we will get bitchslapped regardless so i don't think there is any fear in trying something in the next two.

    If you like throw gini is where i had perez and tiote in cm with sissoko but Obertan,colback, anita are simply not upto it in my opinion.

    Obertan earned a place first game but in reality hes had enough chances at various clubs and he wont ever amount to anything at this level.

    Cabella might hes just a bairn and it takes time to adapt to this league especially in a **** team. I feel sorry for him.

    We need someone like montero on the left and a similar sort of player on the right. He absolutely raped Ivanovic and we all saw how he handed janmaat his own arse on numerous occasions.

    Having players like that makes life so much easier for our full backs.

    He's going after James Perch's record of 5 consecutive bookings in his first 5 Premier League games.

    If you were to ask me, I think he's got a chance of doing it.
