Newcastle United v Manchester United

He's a good player.

The cabaye-tiote CM pairing is overrated though. If we struggle today, it'l be because we fail to deal with the presence of Ba and Cisse, not because of Tiote and Cabaye running the midfield.

Shouldn't we wait for the match to happen before predicting where we'll struggle from ? Just saying it like :angel:
 
No wingers and Nani not on the bench? Doesn't make any sense.

Maybe he is ditching the wingers, someone mentioned yesterday that Chelsea's Oscar, Hazard and Mata move all over the shop. Defenses may be finding it easy to defend against orthodox wingers.
 
Team looks like it will be rather narrow. There is going to be lots of pressure on Rafael and evra to provide us with width.

Surprised that Nani has vanished from the team subs bench as well as it really only leaves us with giggs and Valencia who is just back from injury as players to come off the bench to give us that width if we start to have problems as a result. Seems he may have picked up a knock in training or something.

Or maybe he punched someone.

Ofcourse. Just that our loss last season has clouded many judgements about the pair.
 
I don't get what people are basing this Cleverley-Carrick negativity on other than fortune telling. They may yet be shite together, but it's not like we've seen them playing together for a sustained period. In fact, haven't they only started one game together?

No, he's right. Why wait for the match when you can start talking nonsense right away.

We will find out soon, if he picked Ando, it could be the full of energy Ando or the knackered by half time Ando.

I've to wait for the match to say i dont rate Cabaye and Tiote very highly as a CM pairing?

I said IF we struggle, it'l be because of their strikers not because of their 2 CMs. Where's the nonsense in that?
 
4-1-3-2 / 4-3-1-2 for us today.

Fancy rooney will dish in the midfield and kagawa a free role.
