maltesemike Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Why is everyone so surprised with backline? Pau was never gonna start this game, he had no minutes the last and Digne has just got back from injury. Carlos was clumsy last match but a lot of our failings were in midfield, not defence. We've got to believe and trust these players. Hopefully Ramsey back in coincides with some tactical tweaks. UTV! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvilla28 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) That back 4 has shipped 6 goals last 2 home games not confident at all let's see if Emery and squad have learned there lessons and make the adjustments.Pau should have come in how else is he going to get match fitness. Concede early we're in trouble. Edited February 11 by ozvilla28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they aren’t our typical starters but so many players let us down against Chelsea. Hopefully that wrong is corrected today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gwi1890 Posted February 11 Popular Post Share Posted February 11 5 minutes ago, Callum said: a half fit Pau is strengthens that shambolic back four, it’s as simple as that. We are incapable of keeping goals out with those 4 together. It’s literally our 2nd and 3rd choice back line. It’s not even funny. No Pau no party. I’d rather Pau miss this game than miss the rest of the season due to being rushed back to soon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Although I can understand the disappointment at Pau not starting we really need McGinn, Luiz and Kamara to be at it today. When they're on their game we obviously play a lot better! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozvilla28 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) Luiz and Kamara and McGinn need to stand up been going missing at times. Edited February 11 by ozvilla28 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 It was pretty obvious we’d see the same team as midweek (JJ 4 YT aside), Emery said that he’d purposely left them out there against Chelsea to give them some time together to become better acquainted. We don’t have many other options and I guess Unai is hoping that the back four can improve with time together on the pitch. With no other options, it’s hard to fault him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People moaning about the defence but are completely overlooking that the midfield have given them no protection whatsoever in recent games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Pau got turned and United score? Would people then be complaining that he shouldn’t have started if not ready. Do you think that Emery doesn’t believe you should start his best players?

brummybloke Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Need to win this one for a few reasons. 1. To get back on track after dropping our standards over the last 6 or 7 games barring Sheffield utd. 2. To keep in touch with the top 4 3. To put distance between 5th and 6th 4. One of my mates will be an utter bell end if we lose as he's a huge man u fan. Pretty please 3 -1 to villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
