StellarStripes 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 In think Pardew is a good manager but got it wrong last year. You don't get manager of the year for nowt. Seen him in the reserves a few times. Good with the ball at his feet playing it out. Solid lad. Him Satka and Mbabu are close to the first team squad. Tiote deep as a destroyer is where we will get the most of him. Cabaye further forward passing and moving. Sissoko using his pace and power through the middle....players in their best positions...Cisse down the middle with Remy and Ben Arfa wide... It's the best system using our best players in their best position. Simple really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the best system using our best players in their best position. Simple really. Reckon it's too early for those two. If I were to look at the 1st team squad I'd have it as starters, back-up and 3rd. Admittedly some of those that I've chosen as 3rd could possibly be back-up in a different pos (Sissoko could easily play Tiote's role I suppose), but the point is to highlight where I feel we're weakest. Krul Elliot Alnwick Debuchy Tavernier ? ??? Santon Haidara Dummett Colo Mbiwa ??? Taylor Williamson Streete? Tiote ??? ??? Cabaye Anita Gosling Sissoko Bigirimana ??? Ben Arfa Marveaux Sammeobi Remy Gouffran Obertan/Jonas Cisse Shola Campbell (I basically afforded each player a score out of ten based on how happy (or not )I am with them starting a league game against a mid-table team) Edit - There, are you fucking happy?!

Ayatollah Hermione 12823 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) So, to counteract Fish's cataracts causing colour job, here's his list with me using common sense to add to it: GK: Krul, Elliot, Alnwick RB: Debuchy, Anita, Santon LB: Santon, Haidara, Dummett CB: Colo, Yanga-Mbiwa, Taylor, Williamson CM: Tiote, Cabaye, Anita, Gosling, Sissoko, Bigirimana, Vuckic Wide: Ben Arfa, Marveaux, Sammeobi, Remy, Gouffran, Obertan, Jonas CF: Cisse, Shola, Campbell, Gouffran Looking at that, I'd say we still need another centre forward (Gomis) and maybe another right back (as you wouldn't want Anita there all the time IMO). A proper winger would be canny but I wouldn't want us to play like that with the current squad anyway. Actually, we could do with a winger so Sammy doesn't get on very much. I'd be looking at getting a keeper as well. Elliot doesn't fill me with confidence if Krul is out for a while.

ChezGiven 0 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If you include Gouffran as a forward option you can include Remy, no? We still need another forward of course. Wouldn't surprise me if we see him up top in a 4-4-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 In the modern game it's better to play 2 withdrawn forwards and a striker. The withdrawn forwards can line up in 4321 or a 433. They can go wide or through the middle as the game dictates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if we see him up top in a 4-4-2. Shit, aye, forgot about that. I think we'll go 4-4-2 more often than not, especially if Gomis ends up costing £8 million with a rotating cast of Remy/Ben Arfa/Gouffran/Marveaux/Jonas playing on the wings.

I think the current crop would lend itself well to a 433 but I think Pardew will err on the side of caution. Rightfully so against Man City first game, mind tbf to him.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Out for the season, isn't he? He'll be lucky to play another game for us IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12823 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 He'll be lucky to play another game for us IMO. Aye, thought that as soon as he got fucked again. At that age where he might not recover properly, the poor fucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9075 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Aye, thought that as soon as he got fucked again. At that age where he might not recover properly, the poor fucker. Could have done with his ability from a dead ball this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
