Ba against any of your back line.

Our back line kept Van Persie out today so i dont think theyll lose any sleep over Ba.
Like i said before we've conceded no more than 2 goals all season, so youd better have more to offer than just Ba!

I was waiting for someone to use that RVP example. You saw how **** Arsenal were today, nothing was getting forward to RVP and the time he did break through, he was brought down for what should have been a penalty.

We've got Cisse, Ben Arfa, Gutierrez, Cabaye, SHOLA who can all score goals. (The latter only scores against you)
 
Yep, I fear Ba a wee bit, he's a smashing striker.

We defend incredibly well though, as proved by the goals against column.

Yep, i said this earlier. That's how MON plays though. Defend as a team, everyone behind the ball. If we can get at your back line I think we can crack it, it's getting that far that's a problem. If we can get you to open up and test your central defenders we can cause you big problens. Especially if shola is on one.

That was below the belt that mind fella, mentioning Shola.

I'm upset now.
 
I think it's going to be a bullying type of game, with not a lot of football played for the majority of the game.

I think you'll set up to defend and hit us on the break with your pace, as that is your only key tool at the minute, that or a screamer. If Pardew has anything about him, he would have realised this, and will play a deep line. Tiote will pick up anything in the middle, Cabaye will make it for us.

Still praying on a few injuries for you though.
 
Having watched Cisse for 2 seasons (I openly admit I wanted us to get him), I don't fear him, he's a very good striker, but he's 'a-la-Bent'.

He depends on the team around him, and can be a bit wayward at times.

Ba is the threat.

I will have to bow to your superior knowledge this time makem, I really haven't
seen enough of Cisse to contradict you, but I've been impressed by him so far.
 
I ****ing hate Simpson. I'd love to see Raylor put on the left with Santon on the right.

Santon made his mark as a right back, got Italy caps in his teens, it baffles me to play him on the left.

A left footed right back also has less control tackling face on, and the last thing you want is to be giving Seb free kicks around the box.

Sanyton is pacey for a defender, and that could work against McLean, on the flip side McLean is stronger than a steroid pumped elephant with a short temper, and Santon might struggle on that basis.

Maybe Jonas vs McLean is your best shout.

In what universe should that have been a penalty? He got a clear foot on the ball.
