I would play Perez instead of Sissoko. Without a shadow of doubt! Not his best position but at least we'd have some technical ability and intelligence out wide. It's too easy to defend against a player out wide who has a lack of variation in his game and mostly rely on pace in a straight line. IF you play counter attacking football then it could work well, yes.

Would be ridiculous if he dropped Anita ahead of Colback He was better than Colback yesterday, by a mile!!

So full of shit that article in every way

I don't want to try. Imagine Pardew....

Didn't see Colback do anything apart from silly fouls. What a waste of a position in the team.

It was Perez who played the ball to De Jong who then put it on a plate for Mitrovic, right?

Mbemba will play as a CB, no worries

George Caulkin ‏@CaulkinTheTimes Not masses to say about #Nufc today; slightly concerning McClaren doesn't expect any senior additions to squad before next weekend. #wait

It took us fucking ages to sign 3 players, and i doubt that we'll sign three more that we desperately need (minimum) CB, LB and a wide man. In fact, my gut feeling is that we'll only sign one more...

Yeah this is kind of what i'm hoping for. I must say that i'm very worried that McClaren will play Sissoko no matter what though. We do need a quality wide man, still. As you have mentioned before.

Having wide players with flair would make it a lot easier for our fullbacks to find space in last third as well. Haidara needs to be replaced as well.

We need players with flair out wide, capable of putting some quality balls in to the box. Right now the opposition only need their fullback on each side to defend against our wide players. Pace is not enough, it's too easy to read if you don't have much more than that. If we did have flair combined with pace in our wide positions then these players would draw so much attention and at the same time give so much more open space for our central players, our attacking midfielder and CF to name two. Technical ability out wide is sooo important. It's a big reason why we look fluid like frozen cum, because more often than not we either run in to blind alleys out wide and lose possession cause it's so easy to defend against a player with just pace, or the wide players end up getting stuck and have to turn back and play a meaningless short ball which slows the attack down without stretching the opposition out of shape.

Personally i'd go with Mitrovic, without a shadow of doubt!

Mitrovic will score goals for fun with delivery from Obertan and Haidara from the left...

Perez has to start, i don't give a shit where, but he has to! One of few players that has technical ability and intelligence.

I have absolutely no idea how we're going to line up. My guess is that i will be extremely disappointed. I don't even think the man in charge knows yet

How on earth can anyone have Colback ahead of Anita :lol: I'd start Perez ahead of Sissoko out wide personally.

Should put Wijnaldum next to Anita. Easy!

Perez, a technical intelligent player should start every game for us imo.

Don't see the point in playing Colback and Anita as i've said before. Two players trying to do the same thing, except that Anita's a lot better at it imo.

Haidara's been awful!

Good leap Mbemba!

Nice challenge ginger!

Has anyone seen where Colback is?
