Probably the toughest home game of the season coming up a game in which we are going to be firm underdogs, but we have excelled against the top teams before whether drawn or won but this scalp would be incredible for us on all levels . maybe a sack of pro plus and the home crowd need to be the twelfth and thirteenth man We are now safe or there abouts so if the team can relax a bit and enjoy thier football without losing any of the sharpness who knows ? Any opinions on team and tactics for this mega game ???
I just know it's a lot harder to win without Dyer. Complacency and the Swans playing out of their skin is our best bet. Lets face it, the Jacks will want to show how far we have come since the start of the season (a la Chelsea!)
We seem to do better against the top teams as the season has progressed - particularly at home - so I think we can get something, but I know it's a tall order. Don't be overawed and have a real go. That would be my team talk.
My team talk would be " For the first 30 minutes we played Man City off the park , in their own home in our very first game of the season. Then we all know what happened. Today will be different. Today, we are at home, the fortress Liberty. Today will be 90 minutes of total football. We will show them and our wonderful fans who we really are. We will give no quarter. We will give no respect. Today you will win. Today you will show them we are PREMIER LEAGUE!"
Just point Balotelli in the direction of Wind Street on Saturday night before the match. That should do the trick.
In an oirish accent i`d say this !!!! http://youtu.be/01g3B8ds0uM and what a time to lose Dyer ! got to appeal not through wfa i hope although Rogers mixed message whether he will ?
Great idea, I'd love to have a pint with the guy.... guaranteed to be an experience! I can just see the Paparazzi, waiting in disguise as slappers, for him to have a piss by the Castle or Salubrious Passage!
if rm drops him as punishment for going on the piss before a game the other night it may be a big help innit ?
Not too bothered about dyer, im sure Routledge will be eager to get his teeth into a starting birth and impress, i think it will be quite close and im sure fergie will be on the phone with special incentives for the players and Brenden to blow the title race wide open!! The fact Sky are there tells me they also sniff an upset so this could be a corker of a game, first 20mins will be crucial !!
Don't you mean 'berth'? Agree that Routledge could see this as an opportunity, and he's done well for us in recent times. Got a funny feeling about this game. Last time was Arsenal. You never know.
will be eager to get his teeth into a starting birth ...messy for once kj spelling police is warranted.
Well we won't start Tate , Agustien or Dobbie for starters like the first time we played them . Same team that played last game although with a bit of breathing room I can see Buck scraping the mid midfield & building something around McEachran in the middle just to take him out for a spin . I think Josh will start this game though , one way or another .
