Still got hope. Think we'll revisit the 4-3-3/4-5-1 formation once everyone's available. That said, I do think he's perfectly capable of producing at right wing in a 4-4-2, unfortunately Pardew seems to think otherwise.
Got faith in Pardew for the derby. One of his strengths is definitely pre-game planning and I think it'll be very similar to Stoke away, they have one set in stone way of playing and rarely stray from it. If things are going against them O'Neill isn't tactically capable enough to change things like Jol did a couple weeks back.
