    de gea should be back fingers crossed, rojo due back tonight but wont be match fit, Smalling should be ok for sunday, probably have 11 injured for sundays game providing no other injuries tonight

    What would you expect the lineup to be then?
    Will he play best available 11 in both games?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,184 ✭✭✭ronjo


    So in a nutshell, if we play ramsey in RM instead of ox/walcott/wellbeck we be fine?

    he has no place in the middle when coq santi and ozil are fit.

    To be honest I havent noticed one suggestion saying he should be played ahead of Coq, Santi or Ozil on here........ Have you?

    Yes i have but not directly.

    People have said we should make way for ramsey on a fully fit side.

    And i ask everyone here, who? Who will make way for ramsey?

    His a Mid after all not a winger so put 2+2 together and you get why i asked specifically who in our midfield would make way for ramsey aka sant, coq or ozil

    You've beaten us with worse teams than that. Moyes' United took 4 points off us in his season.

    It's very simple. If Santi was fit now, he would be into the squad and Ramsey would be out, or pushed right.

    If we were playing well, and on a decent run playing nice football, then Santi would have to wait for his chance.

    Our issue is scoring goals right now, and that's something that Santi doesn't offer. Best you can hope off him is a few assists, but who will actually put it in the back of the net? :pac:

    Thats true..... Probably cost the guts of 250 Euro too to assemble also.

    Hopefully we will beat them of course ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,184 ✭✭✭ronjo


    sorry but ramsey should be dropped. end of .

    our worse player
    he cant pass for ****. awful ball retention

    Not good enough for this level

    ramsey is poor! wtf is wrong with some of u!

    Maybe ramsey can play cb? LOL so please tell me where ramsey would fit on a full strength side?

    In fairness that is a terrible terrible United side. I understand ye lot have more than your share of injuries but not all the injuries are starters. I'll still be extremely wary of ye on Sunday though, because most of the time we beat ourselves rather than ye beat us if that makes sense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 55,775 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Ramsey is an enigma.

    When playing well he's our best player and irreplaceable.
    When playing badly he's a total liability.

    The problem is that you never know which Ramsey is starting.
    Oh for consistency.

    This, x100. Into our shells we go and limp to defeat. The home game this season was a nice break from the norm.

    Bad typo alright but if you dont get my point then lets leave it.

    So Bobby retired today. What I'd give to have him in our team today (as a 25 year old of course!)

    How we could do with someone as clinical and consistent as him now. I know he had a rough start but when he got settled he was just pure class.

    I thought this was funny and quite clever..

    Yeah, extremely clever in the way it copied the endless amounts of boom/bust cycle graphics that appear for most of the leading teams on forums every season.

    Ah, I couldn't even get past the fact that it included "Repeat", as it's redundant, it's meant to be a cycle that repeats anyway, no need for it.

    It really is the little things that get to me.

    Hull replay confirmed for March 8th @ 7pm with the 5th round, if we win, on the Saturday with Barcs the following Wednesday. All of this after the Spurs game the previous Saturday

    Where has the QF been fixed for the Sunday?

    EDIT: Hull are playing the following Tuesday whilst Arsenal have to go to Barcelona on the Weds. I'd imagine it'd make more sense for the game to be on the Saturday too. Early kick off, 12:45, and hopefully all your players are wrecked...

    Must have watched that goal against Villa 20 times today. A thing of beauty. Such a graceful footballer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,242 ✭✭✭FixitFelix


    What a player he was, coukd beat players and will. Always loved the way he got in to the box anticipating a parry from the keeper or rebound.

    Wouldn't mind having him now, he puts the likes of Walcott and the Ox to shame

    Looking like Chamberlain's season could be over.

    Should have been taken off as soon as he got injured; what the **** is it with us leaving injured players on the pitch?! Cazorla played the ****ing 2nd half against Norwich iirc!

    Stupid thing about Ox is it was his own doing. Poor touch, should have just given up on it. Was surprised that he carried on, all his rolling around looked like he was play-acting, but it looked bad on the replay.
