BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 In all honesty, I'll be disappointed if we don't get a result tomorrow, we are the better side out of the two even if recent results contradict that. Plus its the first game under Hiddink, which may be a massive incentive for the players to go out and perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,535 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 If we play like we did Sat just a bit more wam up front and not so bad at set pieces we have a good shot.Just I think Villa be the more confident so hopfully that be their downfall and we can break the loosing/drawing streak there.Cant afford to full furthur behind them/ Liverpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alee. 182 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hope to get a win today, Like Zola rightly said, this match will show our pattern of play for the rest of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I really hope we win this game.... because Arsenal will close the gap on us to two points if we don't, and they win. I actually had a dream about this game last night, we won 7-1. First goal came in the first minute, Lampard strikes from the penalty area, Brad Friedel tries to gather but he misses and rolls under his body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Time to show what we're made of. Hiddinks arrival might just give the squad a boost and hopefully we can get back into the mix with a win today. http://www.atdhe.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Two questions about that lineup... 1) Why are we STILL using Mikel as a defensive midfielder 2) Where's Quaresma?? I think in todays game Mikels inclusion is acceptable. Quaresma.....Not sure if he's on the subs bench or not...maybe he'll be brought on later as an impact sub....we'll have to wait and see.
