........ what do we do? Rest Cattermole, just when he needs match time, or risk a 2 match ban after a booking? We'll need him at Hull and against Villa won't we? Play a s.hit or bust team and have 3 up front? Park the bus and play Fletcher up on his own as punishment for his attitude?
We would probably be happy with a point. That said three point next week and we look good. For me you play your strongest team
I'd play Cattermole, if he's booked then that's the game ..... ..... in any case the Hull players will be rolling around, in the warm up, trying to get him red carded.
Play our strongest 11 and go for it. Catts involvement gives us a better chance to pick up points, bar vs Hull for some reason.
Man U are a team I'd be disappointed to get anything less than 1 point against now. As mots showed last night they prefer route 1 footy now. Id play Rodwell in that game to give us height in midfield against Fellaini
It'll be a doddle. Bottom teams we are sh*te against, top teams we usually play reasonable football cos were being attacked.
Strongest team, we seem to play better against the top teams, I would play this side: ...............Pants................ REV..JOS..BROWN...PVA ....CATTS.. LARSSON..... ALVAREZ..AJ..WICKHAM ................DEFOE............ Obviously Wickham would form a 2 when were attacking and AJ would have a freer role.
Ironically we played our best in ages yesterday as wel lost to Swansea. Best in terms of creation obviously and not best in terms of stopping the opposition scoring more than us. Tight game again I reckon. I won't be happy with a point.
With ManU's brittle defence some of our route one football from yesterday may come in handy. Can see both teams playing a similar tactic, but would rather have seen Carrick out than VanPersie.
I think we can get something out of this game. We seem better suited to just sit back and catch teams on the break. Catts to start. We lose something if he's not playing....go with.... Pants Rev, O'Shea, Brown, PVA Alvarez, Catts, Larsson, Rodwell, Johnson Defoe
DiMaria the type of player who could tear us apart. We need Catts in there. Rooney probably goes forward with Falcoa with RVP out, putting DiMaria more central. He seems to just be hitting form again. Brilliant player. Scares me.
Di Maria hitting form LOL I must be watching his twin brother then. Young and big wig are the players in form. We'll the bits I seen.
