I have no problem seeing Loven play during this period. FFS how can anyone be less effective than Shola has been?

 

Loven runs, chases things down and this may force defenders into errors that we can benefit from.

 

If Shola plays ahead of him in the next game then Pardew needs his head looked at.

still rather push ben arfa on and even play raylor on the right.

He's surely a better option than Strola.

 

Dont think so. I will admit he is much better at getting sent off though  :D

 

Besides, we cannot play him and risk an injury thereby ruling him out of his dream move to QPR  :iamatwat:

Sorry, I meant Lovenkrands not Smith. :lol:

 

I should read the last few posts more often!

We've had an enquiry for him, according to the Pardosaurus:

 

ALAN PARDEW says he won't "go back" for Adrian Mariappa if he fails to land his defensive target today.

 

The Watford centre-back is believed to have been subject of a fourth bid by United.

 

And Pardew told Chroniclelive: "On the front of Watford, we've made a last offer to them, and we won't go back.

 

"We'll see where that goes

 

"I'm kind of 50 per cent hopeful he'll arrive.

 

"If he doesn't, no one else will come in, and we'll go with what we've got."

 

And Pardew is hoping that means none of his bigger guns departing Tyneside.

 

He said: "I'm hoping, with all the big players we've got, that we'll have nothing to worry about.

 

"There might be a couple of little ones - it depends on the phone calls."

 

United have had three bids for James Tavernier, Peter Lovenkrands and James Perch.

 

Pardew said: "There's a shout for Tav.

 

"There's been an enquiry about Lovenkrands, and there's also been an enquiry about Perch.

 

"No other bids for anybody else."

Wonder if we'll be tempted to let him go, given the imminent return of the Dembii? I'm assuming it'll be a loan with a view to a permanent contract when his expires in the summer.

Really undecided if I want him to leave. He's going to be fifth choice by the weekend but I'd really like to see him on the bench tomorrow, worried that if Shola or Best picked up a knock we'd have no strikers on the bench to replace them. Prefer him to Shola as well of course.

I'd keep him here tbh.

 

If we are to play this 433 against Blackburn he would be a better option on the left than Best. Drop Shola, put Best in the middle with Lovenkrands and Barfa either side.
