mrmojorisin75 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If I was being overly critical of the guy I'd argue that he's taking the classic English manager track of starting the 'established' players because they're 'experienced' and only when they fail (because they're shit) will be turn to lads like Ayoze. The Pardew method if you will. Really hope I'm wrong but unless they're unfit Aarons and Perez should be starting games and people like De Jong, Obertan and Gouffran should be the ones earning their places.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Lumping De Jong in with those two is a bit mad given Aarons' injury record wasn't that much better last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 It's been annoying that he pretty much picked the same team for the last two games. Hope he mixes it up a bit for the next one, we really don't need to see how s*** Williamson, Colback, Anita, Gouffran and Obertan are again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 We could actually be in a fortunate position this season where we don't need to absolutely cane the life out of Perez, and let him develop with little pressure on him. The football fan in me wants to see him play at every opportunity, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football fan in me wants to see him play at every opportunity, mind. I think he earned the shirt to be honest, McLaren was bleating about Cisse's contribution but Ayoze had a massive season. He'd be rightfully gutted not to be first choice imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If Perez is going to start like he should then he'll have to start on the wing all things considered. Last season De Jong was hardly there and we didn't have Mitrovic, so based on that you are either replacing Sissoko or a left winger.

Ikon Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Personally i don't want Sissoko or Wijnaldum to be the distributor of the ball from deep. Wijnaldum i want more as box to box in a offensive role, and Sissoko isn't a player i'd like to have there spraying the ball around either as i don't think he'd be good enough at this. But who knows, it might work. Abeid (if he can perform like he did against City) would be ideal there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 If that was the line up I'd happily sell Sissoko for a decent wedge and find a better deep player to start next to Wijnaldum. Can't believe I'm saying that given up how much I used to rate Moussa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Abeid and Anita would probably be a better deep-lying combination than any of those. TBH, I have absolutely no idea how our midfield is going to line up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Still don't think Sissoko will be here when the window closes. I don't think we'll sell him unless we get good money so I reckon he will still be here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a goal scoring midfielder who can offer drive and width, I think we'd get a buyer for £10m easily. But we would probably be looking for closer to £15m considering the price we got for Cabaye.
