It's utterly pointless "resting" HBA now. We've got 2 games left? What's the point? Just decreases the amount of time that is left for him to get up to speed. Even at 70% he's still one of the only ones left who can create out of nothing.
No time left I'm afraid. Risk/Reward type situation.
I've rather Ben Arfa at 10% than Shola at 100%.

A must win game and he's happy with a point. Says it all. Yes we kept a clean sheet and after letting in 9 goals in two games that's massively important. BUT at this stage not enough !!
-
Would have rather Alan Campbell came on...would have added some pace to the attack.
Think they said Shola has scored 2 goals in 44 games...says it all.
-
If we stay up this season it'll purely down to luck. Yet again his second half subs killed the game. Shola for Ben Arfa, then Gosling (who has no match fitness) as opposed to Anita - give us a break.
-
It's a good side if it's sent out to play quick passing football, I just hope Pardew isn't going to send them out to defend deep then launch long balls towards Cisse. That will be suicide.
Agreed.

What kind of football do Montpellier play?
Did well to win the League.
-
Well lets see what happens...
Still going got a 4-2 win for the toon....
-
Zidane's your man.
Chances of it happening....zero lol
-
FWIW on the away dressing room thing there are shorts with the number 7 there
Interesting.....Pards playing mind games? He's done it before.
-
I think that side is fine if it gives Cabaye licence to attack, which it should. Closest thing you can get to our 433 of last year.
Cabaye will still play most of the 90 mins in front of our back 4 I'll bet.
With Tiote flying forward....
-
Even without Sissoko we have a strong enough midfield to win the midfield battle, providing we use it. Sadly they'll probably spend most of the match watching the ball sail over their heads.
Nail on head.
Tiote doing what he does best protecting the back four - keeping it simple and Cabaye, Anita bossing the centre.
-
It could also mean Ben Arfa, instead of Shola.
This is Pardew we are talking about. Safety first.

Diame against a Sissokoless midfield.
Sissoko has been s*** recently. Won't make a difference.
And anywhere but midfield
Well exactly. It's like putting Cisse in defence and then criticising his performance.
-
Diame against a Sissokoless midfield.
I truly believe if he picks the right team all it not lost. But sadly I can't see him doing it.
-
Sissoko out just adds to the 4-4-2 theory. I think we'll be better for it, even if he is one of our best individuals.
Big Sam will be over the moon if Sissoko is out.
..more so if Jonas is in the midfield again.....hope that's not the case..we've GOT TO win the midfield battle to stand any chance.

Jonas? *sigh* Howay man Pardew...give us a break...

Considering Sissoko's form, that mightn't be the worst thing ever. Although yes, it's not ideal. At least Pardew won't stick him on the wing.
Shola instead of Sissoko and it's not the worst thing? Howay man - it's a disaster.
Because Sissoko on the wing was working?
Not saying it was BUT even out of position he still adds more than Shola.
-
Learning the lingo: Moussa Sissoko insists there is NO language barrier at Newcastle
Moussa Sissoko has insisted Newcastle's French legion are up for the relegation fight - and CAN understand Alan Pardew's tactical plans.
Well that makes them better men than me.
Ha - touche

Signing up for the eight-year deal over ten months (May to February) will mean fans in standard seating pay less than £61 a month.
I'm confused - I thought we were being charged over 12 months now?

Pardew just needs to reign Tiote in and get him back to basics and stop trying to make him Essien and we'll be ok.
-
I'm going to 4-2 to the Toon
Optimistic as ever
