Its probably the strongest team we have, if Adel plays like the last 15 mins against Wolves then we should win this. Patrick Kenny Anton Ferdinand Fitz Hall Taye Taiwo Nedum Onuoha Joey Barton Ãkos Buzsáky Armand Traore Shaun Wright-Phillips Bobby Zamora Adel Taarabt Substitutes Jamie Mackie Tommy Smith Radek Cerny Clint Hill Daniel Gabbidon Shaun Derry Jay Bothroyd

There defence cannot be fragile, they have a player called Orr playing, he is a tremendous defender, real premiership class. Wish we had a player like that.....
What I wrote on a thread here Tuesday ... if we can't win with this team then we are in trouble ... very very strong
I reckon we will only need to be 3 up when someone gets sent off for us still to win. Centre backs and Barton to play with discipline at the back, the rest go for it - looking forward to this, if it clicks could be outstanding.
Be interesting to see how Taiwo does against Hoilett, if Hoiletts at RM, could neutralise his threat by playing traore down the left wing, and traores crosses and skill and pace are decent.
Traore's pace is more than decent. Saw him give Walcott a couple of yards head start at the Emirates and then stroll past him. Armand's occasional issue is drifting into a dreamlike state in the middle of games, much like me at work, so I shouldn't criticize.....
Perhaps i underestimated his pace, if he can outrun Walcott then wow, and yes i think all of us do that at times.
This team looks like trouble IMO. Again we are very lightweight in the middle of the field. We have been vunerable there all season. I really hope today is the day when Barton steps up to the plate and plays like a man. We need him to be strong and show plenty of bite and aggression (controlled). If he puts in another timid performance then we are in trouble. There may be plenty of running in that midfield but very little bite. Fingers and toes crossed. We might get away with this at blackburn but better teams will spank this team with no midfield defensive cover.
You'd like to think with four big lumps at the back, Zamora up front and Buzsaky taking the odd set piece we'd have a chance of scoring from a corner.
