Ritchie Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Think it would do him a world of good if he didn't just return to the starting line up straight away.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I do think a midfield 3 of Sissoko, Cabaye and Marveaux's a bit attacking and would probably leave Cabaye doing most of the donkey work. I'd play one of Tiote or Anita depending on the opposition and I'd play Marveaux on the wing, I'm not convinced by this idea that he can't play there at all.

Smal Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Poll added. Ahead of Perch? I'm pretty sure nearly everyone would. Ahead of Marveaux and Anita, not most of the time, no imo. You'd play Marveaux in DM? No? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Poll added. Ahead of Perch? I'm pretty sure nearly everyone would. Ahead of Marveaux and Anita, not most of the time, no imo. You'd play Marveaux in DM? Where did he say he wanted to play Marveaux as a DM? Tiote plays as a DM so to say you'd pick Marveaux ahead of him implies you'd play him in DM, which you already know. It really doesn't. I said that I'd play Marveaux instead if Tiote half the time when a pure DM isn't needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JToon7 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 We will be unchanged for Spurs IMO. I Can't see Pardew changing a team thats won two in a row. I think they probably deserve it aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair comment, I wouldn't have too much issue with that. Depends on potential injuries mind. Bench would probably be Elliot, Yanga-Mbiwa, Tiote, Anita, Marveaux, Obertan, Sh.Ameobi. Could be worse.

Ronaldo Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 For the record Tiote has to play in games like Sunday's. Perfect circumstances for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JToon7 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I just think from a man management point of view, it would send the wrong message to just throw Tiote back in as soon as he returns. He was in shocking form before he left, so why not make him sweat a bit and earn his place back in the team? We've been doing ok in the last two games without him and you never know, it might be the kick up the arse he needs to get back to form. If Tiote could keep things simple and get back to the from he showed in his first season, a midfield three with Cabaye and Sissoko would be wank worthy.

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 I'd play Anita personally he's a fantastic DM when used properly, much smarter than Tiote and a much better passer. Alas Pardew won't do that and i would much prefer Tiote to Perch, irrelevant of his form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 We will be unchanged for Spurs IMO. I Can't see Pardew changing a team thats won two in a row. I think they probably deserve it aswell. I can see him playing Tiote over Perch mind. I think, in Pardew's mind anyway, he doesn't think there's much difference between Jonas & Marveaux so hasn't needed to change that, and he also likes Taylor. Tiote on the other hand, is a massive upgrade on Perch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JToon7 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Personally, I think Anita, if used properly is a fantastic in the DM role of a midfield three. For Ajax he was the hub of the team, dropping deep to pick the ball up from the centre back and starting moves, always giving an option in possession and keeping the team ticking over. He seemed to anticipate situations and intercept things well, which made up for his lack of physicality. I think if we played Yanga-Mbiwa alongside Coloccini at the back, with santon and debuchy as fullbacks, the team would be better set up for anita to pick the ball up from the defenders and start moves, allowing us to have more posession and control in games. Something that hasn't been possible up to this point because of Williamson and Simpsons lack of ability in posession/hoofs up field. I still don't think we've seen the best of Anita at all, and he hasn't been properly used in his best role yet. I feel for him tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 yeah, it's amazing that Anita hasn't been used in the same role that he played for Ajax yet. We must've bought him because of the way he was playing there. He's one of the ones that Pardew went over to watch as well, isn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
