Saint_Tony Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Forget those stats, only us scoring more goals than City today will matter. It's time for us to make a statement and show we are serious top 4 contenders. Never been so nervous, this is our biggest game in years. Last season we were knocking on the door, now it's time to properly gatecrash the party. COYR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRobbie Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Draw would be good. Win outstanding. Bit worried if Davies isn't playing though. W-P is our only cover man in that position. Perhaps Harry Reid will step up to the plate? I think this is a key game. Our individual performances against Villa on Monday were the worst I have seen this season. A good result will keep us firing. This week and next may determine our Europe place at the end of the season.... that and winning the FA Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaya in particular is a cheating diver and goes to ground way too easily for a big man. Virtually a 100% chance that Morgan will pick up a yellow today with the amount of tackles he puts in, can't afford to lose both him and Vic for the same match. Who is the ref today?

smarmy Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Long right, Tadic left, Mane sub, for me. Think Mane prob a more dangerous player than Long, but that seems more balanced. Anyway, COME ON! First home game a against a "big" team for me since we came up apart from Chelsea in 12/13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchris Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Bring cork in and go back to midfield 3. Drop one of mane or long. Use other as an impact sub. 100% correct. We have to control midfield last game three forwards did not work and it definately won't work today. What does Koeman have against Cork who is a very fine player and somewhat better than the 'famous' JWP..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Really looking forward to this one, hope it's a good tear up. Fans need to play their part and make a lot of noise, shouldn't be difficult as if you can't get up for this game then there's something wrong with you. 3-2 to Saints and the Chelsea gap reduced back down to 4 points.

Smirking_Saint Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 So today is when our season really starts, we have done all the prep work and steadied a ship that to many seemed destined to falter at the start of the season. But now the true tests start, and we will see where we are in relation to the big boys. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now the true tests start, and we will see where we are in relation to the big boys. COYR It started in August. If we lose today or even lose the next 3 it isn't gonna ruin our season, as long as we can keep the confidence high and keep playing the way we do. Arsenal have made a living out of getting into top 4 and not beating the big boys. Cork needs to start today if Davis isn't fit. As others have said, midfield 3 of Wanyama, Schneiderlin and Cork with Tadic and Long on either wing. Mane as an impact sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjii Posted 30 November, 2014 Share Posted 30 November, 2014 Cork must have a late knock to not even be on the bench. Two up front for City - will that make it easier to cut off the supply to Aguero at source? Probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately need another striker and wide man If we get even Europa league We will need 4-5 more players to what we have today. Let alone replacing anyone who leaves Obviously our academy will provide 1 or 2 of those But we need another GK, wide player, RB and striker (next season) at least As for today, I would take a draw where we play well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
