Guten Abend.
Going to Ikea on a weekday is undoubtedly a good thing. No crowds, not fussing and most importantly of all no one to witness me trying fruitlessly to load part of an office desk top into the back of a suddenly tiny Hyundai. I’d have stood a better chance of lassoing the moon with my paper tape measure.
Anyway, to the fussball. I’ll tell you this, the more I start thinking about tomorrow’s game the more I believe we’re in with more than a chance Here are my picks for our tea-time time.
Let me state now that I don’t believe my picks will mirror those of the boss. I believe he’ll opt for Brad and Defoe. This observation isn’t an attack on Villas-Boas, rather a belief he is a rather good football manager and I am a two bob blogger. My gut feeling is that Hugo is ready, my gut feeling Ade will perhaps own more keys that might unlock Yanited’s back four. But Villas-Boas is will want to satisfy his own criteria completely before dropping in-form players.
I’ve put Jan at LB in order to facilitate the eye-catcher Caulker who of all the youngsters to emerge is the boy I can genuinely see cutting the mustard. The arrows for him, Billy and Sandro clearly echo the strategy that allows Sandro to effortlessly drop back a little to accommodate the pace of Jan & Kyle to cause some carnage.
Deuce & Moussa in the middle. But I want Bale to be released. I want him deployed to make left wing or inverted left wing attacks. In short I want him and Deuce to understand who’s doing what here. We simply cannot afford The Boy Bale to get lost in the thick of a congested central midfield.
Azza needs to revisit his successful byline runs, cut back, avoid the near post and remember that diagonals in the 18 yard box can genuinely cause mayhem. He also needs to remind himself to shoot. Yanited are missing loads of top notch defenders. Now that doesn’t mean it’s a walk in the park, but it does mean there is a plausible chink in the armour.
So we haven’t won there since 1704. So what? I say we can tomorrow by a goal. By one goal at least. I will be looking for some value on first goalscorer prices as Spurs are certain to come flying out the traps You can also find more sportsbook review information here …
BOIYMUC!
Wow, the high from that game might just get me through the week. Might just put the crack pipe away for a few days.
You want a pipe without a crack in it. You can’t get a decent draw on it if it’s got leak.
My wife is going to watch Jonathan Ross upstairs on the bedroom t.v. I’m going to Watch MOTD on the (relatively) big t.v. again and again and….
you have to be the boss tonight,own that tv remote BC
Thanks Koj. I’ll use her stairlift and take her a cup of tea. That will surprise the hell out of her and she’ll be so rapt with Jonathan Ross she won’t bother me. On a separate but predictable note: “Sir Alex blasts officials for lack of injury time”.
they got 4mins didn’t they,it wasn’t enough thankfully
“Sir Alex blasts officials for lack of injury time”. _ we don’t care. We don’t care how many penalty’s you should have had. We won, they didn’t!!!
Sluralex is bitching is he?
This evening just gets sweeter and sweeter……..
If I was AVB, my face throughout the post match interview would resemble Commandant Lassard in Police Academy… Just around the time when he’s delivering that lecture.
With a tabloid hack ‘performing’ the necessary from the podium.
Monday’s Sun exclusive from an ‘Insider’ will be on how the players got together to win the game to spite AVB and prove that he’s not the man for the job.
We are obviously a team in complete disarray.
I wonder if Harry’s a pundit tonight?
‘So, Harry, your boys got royally roasted every time you went to Old Trafford… What do you make of this win under AVB?’
I do hope he gets stroppy!
That’ll make it all the sweeter!
