Petrov is an out and out winger though who hugs the touchline, Hibbo is excellent against them. Robinho is completely different, he'll cut inside and Hibbert isn't always great against those types of wide players.

I keep the same team, if I was going to change anything It'd be Castillo in for one of the central midfielders. I can't see that happening.

Who would you drop mate? I was thinking about this last night, i really would like to see a DM playing just behind Arteta, giving him more licence to roam, but you cant drop Ossie or Peanuts because that leaves us weak on the wings, so it would have to be Cahill or Fellaini, i think either of them would be a loss to our attacking play, but it would be evened out in terms of defensive cover.

Robinho's [Poor language removed]. I don't think he'll even play.

Same team bar one difference,

Probably Cahill going by form although it wouldn't bother me if we kept the same team. The balance was good on Sunday...

Dont think Moyesy would ever drop Ossie for VDM mate, although id drop Cahill and play with a DM.

We can have these. They're pretty shocking at the back. What they do have is pace and going forward on the counter they'll kill us really. But everything from the halfway line back to their goal, they're there for the taking.

I still dont rate Steven Ireland in their midfield. He cant tackle well and the goals he's scored have gone to his head that all he does is bomb forward leaving holes in their midfield.

You're forgetting about the second belgian in the EPL, Kompany, and trust me, he's class. Picks up all the [Poor language removed] in their midfield, and if he's playing in defence he's the best they have in my opinion.

Personally I'm psyched to finally see the battle of the belgians in the premier league, been looking forward to that for ages, finally two guys from our tiny country who can make it in england, it's been a while

It'll be an interesting battle.

Arteta, Cahill and Fellaini v Ireland, Hamann and Kompany.

I was gonna say we'll dominate them, but if you think they have SWP and Robinho (if he plays) supporting them, it'll be very tight. Should be a good game all round really.

Always seems to have a good game against us mate, will be a real test of Lescotts form.

Dont Citeh play Kompany at Right Back though?
EDIT - that was only when Richard's was injured (he's turned [Poor language removed] hasnt he?)

He's a class player though. Wont out jump the big Fell though. I'm sticking some cash on Fellaini getting a goal tommorrow. He's due one....but so is Cahill - double bets they are then.

Defence needs to be on top form IMO. They are an attacking side with lots of pace. We counter the counter (or counter ourselves) we'll win.

no, but Osman would play on the wing in this formation - and he is terrible there....so unless he plays in the center - id drop him for a winger.
