I'm with this line up. But I'd push Ben Arfa and Remy up more to a 4-3-3 but I assume that is what you are doing.

Seriously, its mad that we get every single premier league match here on the NBC Live Extra App or the Premier League Extra Time Over-flow channels on our respective cable/sat providers. Wish the same coverage was around for all league and FA cup matches

It's more the idea that we are still stuck with AP. And he's a manager who isn't AP. So therefore I think we are at least 12 points better with anyone else in charge atm.

I'd be jealous as fuck with that appointment.

Mainly because the knacker job in charge changed the formation when he did so. Marveaux should've replaced him. Yep should have been Marv for Cabaye and everything should have remained.

Can't wait for the day this thread title changes and it has the words Confirmed, NUFC and Sacked and this bastard is gone.

If HBA goes on one of those runs Debuchy needs to sit back and hold his position unless we're in a position where he can overlap and attack right? Alternatively, that's why I've always been Pro-MYM next to him for the sheer fact that the man has pace to close space down should we be caught-out. It just doesn't help that when we're caught out its nearer to our goal and we haven't been able to clear.

Speaking on footballing terms, I absolutely loved the few attempts at creative link-up between he and Gouffran. They look infinitely more intelligent playing together with dummys and what not. I know not all of them came off and Gouff didn't make much an impact, but it was promising.

I'd probably put Taylor back in there with Colo. Mapou's been pretty good, though, so he'd stay in the team too at Debuchy's expense. My only hesitation would be to break-up the MYM-Colo partnership. But we really don't have much choice, as MYM is probably a better option at RB than Santon or Dummett. Has he played RB for us? A handful of times. He wasn't impressive, iirc. Seems to be a bogey position for us at the moment. I thought the few times MYM played RB he looked good there. He had pace, he was good at getting forward on the overlap and he hit the best cross I've seen from one of our backs in ages when he played that ball to Cisse in the Europa League (not sure if the bastard was offside or it counted, mind you, probably offside...one of the many close calls). MYM - Saylor - Colo - Santon Santon - MYM - Colo - Dummett Are really the only 2 ways I want to go with this.

Personally, I wish Santon would look comfortable playing RB and we could get Dummett developing into our starting LB.

There is no reason to bring Tiote back. The change needs to be our right back and Anita is wasted there and needs to start centrally in midfield.

To be fair he's made loads of tackles and interceptions today

He's shocking and I don't really ever foresee him getting back to form here under this manager or even this league.

Well said pedro mate.

Drop Cisse, play Gouffran in his position leave midfield same unless Cabaye is out and place Marv there. I don't want to happily think about our defense right now.

I knew exactly what I was saying with that. It's like pure reluctance/stuck with type statement

I'd happily play MYM at RB and slot Saylor in at CB to bench Debuchy and keep Santon LB, and I'm not even happy with that tbh

Disappointed in him today.

Shit performance. Fucking shocking defending. Refing has been shit too. We lost our way when we decided to go 4-4 fucking 2. Stupid. Remy played great. Ahhhh Newcastle United....fucking hell come on.

Get Cisse off go back to 4-3-3 with Marv in Cabaye's role

Hatem?

Fucking Cisse

I like this sub

Cisse off for Gouff please. He's useless today. Hatem needs to switch the fuck on as well.

I expect they'll try and close down Remy more in the 2nd half to which Hatem is going to have more time to cause some havoc.
