I was in scouseland for the weekend when we played them in geordieland so didnt really get to see the game even though it was on tv, and tonight I am out with 30+ members of the wife's extended family (cousins and their partners etc), so I wont get to see tonights game either
For what it is worth I think we will win tonight - at times it will be a struggle but I do think that McD's 3-1 prediction looks about right to me. We know where we are and what our weaknesses are (well most of us do
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
), but they are not going well this season at all and if we get ahead then I cant see us dropping pts cos their whole game plan is based around not falling behind. They hyave had some bad luck with injuries I will concede, but howe's loyalty to donkey's like dan burn when he has livermento (much better player imo) on the bench is severely handicapping them too.
Have to say that I really rate bruno guimeras (sp ?
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
) in their midfield, and would love to see him play for us. Gordon is a typical whinging scouse c.unt who I would happily see broke up in a tackle, but he will dive and roll around for fun tonight. I expect them to rough up saka as much as they are allowed to, so we will need martinelli and trossard to step up.
Final memo - please drop the german dud tonight and play jorginho and allow rice more freedom to drive forward
