Pardew said he is intrigued by how we handle playing against a 5 man midfield, and that other than Wolves, we have done well against 5 man midfields all season.
I think we have struggled against them like.

Ah right.
Well, if that is indeed the lineup, then I assume England will be lining up like this:
Hart
Richards Smalling Cahill Baines
Parker Barry
Gerrard
Young Johnson
Welbeck
Good to see Richards starting btw.
Decent line-up except Barry.
What's Taylor going to to do?
Track a man back for a start. He should be in the side everday over Obertan. It is a joke we are even having this conversation, considering Ben Arfa should be there.
Anyone but Obertan, he should never start a game for us again. It will be Raylor anyway, Mclean plays on the left for them so Pards will have Taylor on him.
Our luck is finally running out, that is the main reason we are where we are at in the league. He has always been an average manager, it won't change here.
