4-4-2 - 4 -5-1 0r 4-3-3 v Man Utd Friday ?

[johnfarmersmum]

4-3-3 for me...from what I have seen in recent weeks we need to throw caution to the wind....

[eddy_under_fire'sviews]

and get a "stuffing" on boxing day? (sorry. that was awful.)

its gonna be the usual plan A, with pericard and fuller.

merry fucking christmas

[johnfarmersmum]

You just never know

[eddy_under_fire'sviews]

i hope to god your right mate. but it won't happen.

pulis will take the 0-0

[johnfarmersmum]

So its 4-5-1 then... have a good un mate !

[eddy_under_fire'sviews]

he he and you pal

[robchicken]

been discussing this in the pub and the take away tonight

we all agreed on 4 5 1 for friday with soares and tonge on the wings and fuller up front

[Soi Cowboy]

I think for this game we should go 9 0 1 and take the 0-0.

Seriously, Agree above-pack the midfield, Tonge and Soares could work. Shame no Salif do do the Liverpool role he played superbly.

We're not expected to take anything so have nothing to lose. Maybe Fergie may rest the odd player but is a massive task to expect a point especially with the injuries. Real shame no Mama as would loved to have seen him and Rory at the Brit v Man U causing mayhem as v Arsenal. Would have been our real hope of upsetting them.


Still will enjoy whatever happens

[arniepieinthesky]

I'd go 451 - letting Soares push on to support Fuller. Won't happen though. I think we'll go 442 Cresswell and Fuller, surely Tone won't pick Pericard for a 2nd time, I like a joke as much as the next man.....but enough is enough

[thevue]

i would go 10 ;D

[The Occasional Man]

I'll be gobsmacked if TP does anything different to:

Sorenson

Wilkinson
Shawcross
Faye
Higginbotham

Delap
Faye
Whelan
Cresswell

Pericard
Fuller




Possible dropping Whelan for Olofinjana.



All I can say is I hope Sonko is completely dropped and doesn't get a sniff of the 1st team squad until he's the only fit defender at the club!

TP doesn't do adventurous selection particularly adventurous selections that doesn't have numerous square pegs in round holes!

The ideal scenario would be Griff and Davies be fit then we could play:

Sorensen

Davies
Shawcross
HigginBotham
Griffin

Tonge
Whelan
AD Faye
Olofinjana
Soares

Fuller

AD Faye then can sit in front of Shawcross and Higginbotham doing the Diao job. Personally I think when we have fit 1st choice LB and RBs (Griff and Davies) this is the role AD Faye will do since it's the position he's has played for most of his career.

Come TP give us all a Christmas surprise!

[applemacman]

Sorensen

Davies
Faye
Shawcross
Higginbotham

Pugh
Whelan
Faye
Delap

Creswell
Fuller

haha yeh i vote for 10-0-0 too

[sweetandinnocent]

is it illegal to play two goalkeepers

[Stokie-Jiggz]

4-3-3 wopuld be mint but i can't see pulis going for that approach, and also with 4-3-3 we are really letting united dominate the midfield which we do not want.

[bogus]

I think we should stick to the 4-4-1-1.................but have a couple of strategically placed snipers around the ground.
Let's face it. No forker will know whether Ronaldo has been shot for real or not until long after the game is over

In all seriousness though, I'd love to win but 0-0 doesn't sound too shoddy either.

[daverichards]

8-1-1 ;D

[lordb]

lets just play our normal game at home ideally a la Villa & Arsenal rather than the Fulham version.

2.1 Stoke

[Championship Potter]

Time for the return of binary football. Two banks of four, Olofinjana on the half way line, with Fuller doing his best Ade impersonation. ;D
