If AJ plays, how about telling OGH to man-mark him.

[larus]

Was thinking on the way to work today about something that one of the palace posters put on here last week about Clinton would pull McShane all over the park and allow AJ (if playing) to run at GB.

What would be the merits of OGH being given a job to do on AJ. We all know that OGH is quick, don't give up and it would really piss off AJ if he's being tracked the whole time.

Doubt if it would happen, but I think he would do a bloody good job on him.

yeah Harty gives it 100% - not sure if he could keep up though all game!

That was me! AJ had that all last season in the Prem and still notched regularly so i would imagine it wouldnt bother him greatly. AJ wont start it will be Morrison and Freedman with AJ and Macken on the bench

5 at the back maybe. Play Dodd as sweeper, with Reid & Mayo as wing-backs?

Sweeper could be a good idea

On another note you seem to be concerned about Johnson all of a sudden i thought he was a useless cheating prick who is a one season wonder? As he is so pony i wouldnt have thought you would be concerned about him tomorrow! Just a thought

He may provide some sort of fluke performance?

 

[Brighton till i die]

i say we put 10 men on our goal line with jakey on the counter attack!

OK. He does score goals. He is quick. But he is also a diving prick.

Oh, he ain't international standard though.

As for having all last season, I doubt if he had man-to-man marking every game. I think if OGH was (pardon the expression) 'right up his arse' the whole game, it would nullify him.

I do think he would be able to stick with him for the whole game as well. Hart is fit, and he won't give up. If he gets beat, he'll keep trying and not let his head drop.

OGH hardly covered himself in glory on Saturday though (along with the rest of the team). He got skinned for the first goal, and seemed to look off the pace throughout.

Just get Guy to dish Johnson a couple of hefty whacks early on - give that little mincing baldy twat something worth throwing himself over for.

Aj won't start. He's not gonna disrupt a winning formula to risk a half fit CHEAT

Or, we could tell Guy Butters to mark him for life!

And you went to all Palace games yes? What did you think teams did let him have a free rein?! Johnson wont start tomorrow he will be on the bench cheating and diving

Hart was so so bad on sat not really the man to mark aj is he?

 

[eagles #1]

As ive said on the Palace site...last season AJ played against some of the best defenders in the world and was 2nd top scorer in the Premiership behind only Thierry Henry with 22 goals, Yes alot of them were penalties, but the defenders had alot of trouble handling him. Realistically, Guy Butters, McShane, this Hart bloke and is it Jason Dodd (?) arent really going to stop AJ.

So many of you on here seem to seriously underrate Andrew Johnson...You'll be suprised at how good he actually is, Ten times the player that scored a hat-trick against you in 2002.

(as AJLM says...Dowie will probably stick with Freedman and Morrison to start)

Although I didnt see the game, a stand in right back is hardly the man to mark their best player so have to agree.

Why not, when he came on against Norwich, he did a good job on Huckerby who is quick and tricky. Accepted that OGH ain't a recognised back, but he is strong in the tackle, and quick.

Anyway, it's all hypothetical anyway, 'cause AJ is scared of us and won't play .

Aye, either that or he knew he wasn't really good enough but quite quick so fell over every time he got in the box.

That said, I have got horrible images of him diving for at least two pens tomorrow - we're always giving away pens.
