I don't think the matchday forum is arse when it can throw up the posts I've read on here so far.
I agree that last season we got trounced at Stamford Bridge, even if it was only 0-2.
I don't think we're looking such a decent away team nor such a poor home team so far this season. Tomorrow we're at home so I'm confident. Although I know that at some point between 12.00 and 12.45 I will either throw my hands to my head and curse MON if he decides to go 4-4-2 or, on the other hand, cheer loudly if it's to be 4-5-1/4-3-3.
I just think 4-5-1 suits the players we have at this moment, home, away or on a neutral ground. We got away with 4-4-2 (but only drew) against Man Citeh I think because they didn't exactly pack their midfield either. Though I'll concede that a change to 4-4-2 during the match at small heath did the trick. And now there's another thing - what other in-form striker could we play alongside Gabby in a 4-4-2? And what the **** happens to Gabby anyway when he has to share striker duties?
Reo-Coker, Petrov and Sidwell in the engine room would be nice.
As with the match against Citeh one point might be OK, but come on, until last season our results against them hadn't been too bad at all. I'll stick my neck out and predict a 2-1 win, though if we do go 4-4-2 from the start I may come back and edit this post.
