hostile_statue 0 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I know he hasn't stood out as much as last season but I think we'll struggle without Tiote (presuming he isn't risked). One of the reasons we've done so well is him and Cabaye in the middle mean we've been able to control most games so far. I agree completely. Cabaye will have to take a lot of responsibility tonight. I assume he will sit deeper and Guthrie will take Cabaye's usual role. I'm not really comfortable with that but it's the best we can do. Abeid is not ready to start in a game like this. Gosling won't fit the bill. My biggest fear is that Alan Smith will play a part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 I know he hasn't stood out as much as last season but I think we'll struggle without Tiote (presuming he isn't risked). One of the reasons we've done so well is him and Cabaye in the middle mean we've been able to control most games so far. I said the same myself in another thread the other day and I think Wednesday proved it. Guthrie actually came in and did ok but without doubt the midfield looked a lot weaker. I think we'll struggle tonight. Even if Taylor is playing I can't see him being 100% which we really need against these and I think Pennant and Etherington will give Raylor and Simpson a right roasting.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Why is there an hour build-up for this game on Sky? Is it for their lookback at the weekend's games? Thought they did that post-match is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 A really tought test and a measure of how far we've come. Hoping for a low scoring draw, we could easily lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonFilet 0 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Official Lineup: Krul Simp, Taylor w/ Mask, Skipper, Taylor w/o Mask Obertan, Guthrie, Cabaye, Spiderman Best, Ba Subs: Elliot, Santon, he whose last name begins with P, Marveaux, Gosling, Barfa, Sameobi Barfa on as an impact sub seems like a good idea, he has done better in that roll and it's probably a better policy until he's fully fit. Put him on with Marveaux when the time comes, their trickery will come in handy during a match like this. And, please, Pardew, DON'T PLAY PERCH!

StevenL 0 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Marveaux still can't get in the team ahead of Obertan? Shame I was starting to think Pards was a half decent manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4222 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Marveaux still can't get in the team ahead of Obertan? Shame I was starting to think Pards was a half decent manager. played better as a sub v wigan than as a starter against blackburn, there was a lot of turning back onto his left and passing back to the fullback, similar to obertan tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nortoon 0 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Bit disappointed with that lineup, really would have thought Obertan or Simpson wouldnt get into that lineup. Think it will be tough, and we'll snatch a draw. 2-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he prefers baguettes anyway. I guess it's still a small sample size, given how few games he's played since his return, or few the toon as a whole. Didn't he have a bad game in our carling cup outing though? Hard to know whether that was due to fatigue, or if he was just having a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 NO KADAR AND FERGUSON Seriously - drop Obertan and Simpson already. I hope it doesn't take a loss tonight for Pardew to see the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed completely, dont see why we have to lose before he improves our team. Only thought I can think of is they're injury prone, and as such Pardew wants to keep Simpson/Obertan on until someone gets injured and it solves his problem for him.

However I think he'd be wasted on the bench in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
