MikeO Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Down to the bare bones again, Ossie and Joey very unlikely to be fit I think but hopefully we'll have a striker back. Presuming Castillo's still out... Howard Hibbert..........Jagielka..........Lescott..........Baines Arteta..........Neville.........Fellaini..........Pienaar Cahill Saha/Anichebe If we still have no striker then everyone's favourite Dutchman may even get a start with TC moving up front again . I still think we'll have enough to beat 'Boro but any more injuries and I'll bring my shirt for the Sunderland game...I may just get on the bench .

Guest efctaxi Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 We have a habit of slipping up against this type of team . Hope we keep the momentum up and get the 3 points . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 1-0 to us I reckon. Not sure on the scorer and I don't care either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoblue Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I can't see how even if we lose this it could be considered a slip up. Despite all the graft and touch of quality we've been very lucky to come through the last two games with 4 points and without a miracle recovery by Saha and or Anichebe, I have to think it will take another good dose of fortune to swing through the rest of the holiday schedule with any results. Of course if AVDM starts then we might have a chance... --------------------Howard------------------ ---Hibbo----Jags---Lescott-----Baines----- --------------------Neville-------------------- ---VDM--------- Arteta--------Pienaar------ ------------------Fellaini--------------------- -------------------Cahill--------------------- That or maybe Arteta back on the wing with Rodwell in the middle of the park. Baxter's not fit yet is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Despite all the graft and touch of quality we've been very lucky to come through the last two games with 4 points... Don't agree at all. We had some luck earlier in the season but the last two games we've got exactly what we deserved, if we'd had a bit of luck we'd have got six points rather than four. According to the OS, Yobo deffo out for the Christmas games, Vic and Saha doubtful, but Ossie looks like it's just bruising and he may be OK. Squad... Howard, Nash, Hibbert, Neville, Lescott, Jagielka, Baines, Arteta, Osman, Cahill, Fellaini, Pienaar, Rodwell, Gosling, vd Meyde, Kissock, Jutkiewicz, Wallace.

dark Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I think that we will do well against Middlesbrough. We've been good at the back and with the attacking display shown at Chelsea anything can happen. I think that we'll be aware of thier threats (they dont have many) Jagielka will keep Mido and O'Neill at bay and Downing won't need that much looking after (did I mention he's shite) so we'll do well against them. IMO, 3-0. Fellaini and Cahill in the first half before Van der Meyde pops up with a goal in the final few minutes (: COYB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beard Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 We have nothing to fear on Thursday. Since the Wigan game, the spirit has started to re-emerge, coupled with some decent football. If we play anywhere near our potential (I suppose anyone could say that) we should be to strong for them. Only thing that worries me is they have had two extra days to get over there last game, so hope tiredness does not set in. If I had to predict the score then I go 2-1 for us.

Maybe, I'm just saying thats the side I would like to see. And if Osman is fit he'll take his place. Eveyone's a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoblue Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) No Osman, Gosling on. Anichebe on the bench though. We do look thin and VDM must feel a right fool starting on the bench in these circumstances. edit Perhaps I should have a look before blindly posting...

Romey 1878 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Lets just hope that the youthful exuberance of Gosling will come through and we'll be ok. I'd rather have seen Rodwell or VDM at a push stepping in though tbh, I'd have felt a lot more confident in them that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
