BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Do you think this is an error from the clubs preseason planning that we are few weeks behind in match fitness as it may most likely cost us points in the first few games or does it mean we will have more gas left the the final weeks of the season..I do. It's all because of that post-season tour to Australia at the end of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Haha, I really hope so mate.And Mourinho's tactics don't really allow for us to get hammered (or to hammer ourselves unfortunately).But after seeing City's display last night, with Silva & Touré already in top top form, Agüero ready, maybe KDB added to the squad, Kompany looking rejuvenated ... I really can't see us take much out of the game. I got the feeling that our entire team is struggling to find form.For sure it isn't looking good on paper but that's what in a weird way makes me feel more confident as I alluded to previously.Off the top of my head Spurs away 10/11 and 11/12, City away 13/14, Arsenal away last like 4 seasons we have gone into those games not in great form while the other team was and we have always seemed to pull the rabbit out of the hat and either win or draw while having the better of it, got a feeling this might be similar.

Roquila 1,335 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Talking like a Gooner fanTalking like a Football fan, i am sick and tired of the ' we cannot attack so we will defend' mentality. This team(and Jose) need to grow some balls and play football and not some "mastermind" shit. We were boring since December last year and there is no sign of it getting better.

If we don't have the firepower to attack the whole game, it doesn't make sense to play that way.We play to our strength and that's defense.

Stats 7,142 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Stop the momentum early. Don't give them anything to build on...BegovicIvanovic - Cahill - Terry - CesarZouma - MaticWillian - Oscar - HazardCostaPutting Zouma in the double pivot is so negative. I don't want to see us do that again unless it is an emergency or for a specific situation like targeting Fellaini. He not even a DM. I would rather play Mikel than play Zouma there. As good as Oscar has been in pre-season and opening game I can understand if Mourinho benched him. We obviously will look to hit them on the counter. So I think Mourinho will look to the faster players and ones who are capable of hitting them on the counter.I think Mourinho will go with a 4-3-3. Matic, Fabregas and Ramires, with Willian and Hazard on the wings with Costa obviously up front. I would be happy with that tbh. If we go forward at them with pace, Toure will struggle to keep up with the runs of our attacking trio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
