Elliottman Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Do people keep announcing they want a midfield 3 of X,Y and Z because they think they're being revolutionary or is it just wishful thinking? Well, its wishful thinking? Hoping that he'll see sense and go back to 433 sometime soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 So used to him just being there, has he ever had a lengthy injury ? This will show just how important he is to the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Along with quite a few other in the squad, Gutierrez hasn't performed that well this season. On paper we have a lot of cover in Jonas' position in Marveaux, Sammy Ameobi, Obertan, Ferguson and maybe Amalfitano (having said that, Sammy currently has a hamstring injury and Amalfitano went off with an ankle 'knock' in the under 21s game). Hopefully whoever covers for Jonas steps up to the plate and takes their chance. They might not put in as much work as Jonas but they would probably create more going forward.

Depends what you see his position as. I do like him in a central three, using his strength to carry the ball forward. He's one of very few who never look for the long ball and we need that at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 He's still essentially a poor substitute for a box-to-box player in that role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of very few who never look for the long ball and we need that at the moment. If Jonas is counted as a central player then we don't have much cover for him. Tiote, Bigi and Anita play a similar role to each other. Cabaye is the only attacking, central midfielder. We don't have anyone to cover Cabaye's role if Cabaye is out. Gosling is injured and when he isn't he hasn't really impressed. That's one of the reasons I'd like us to buy an attacking central midfielder.

Ketsbaia Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The injury is a shame for squad depth and for the great man himself. Can't say I'm gutted to see him out of the first XI though, I'm curious to see what happens next. Maybe we can make lemonade from this lemon. Get well soon, Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's shit for Gutierrez but it gives someone else an extended run in the team. It's not like we're going to be playing with ten men because he's out, someone will come in and we'll have to get on with it. No point whinging about it.

Yorkie Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 It'll be : Ferguson Tiote Cabaye Ben Arfa Can't see anything else. At least it'll give us some natural width, if nothing else. Ferguson's looked totally out of his depth in both PL games he's started this season, but if Pardew puts faith in him, i think we'll see him grow into it. He can reach the byline on his stronger foot, so that'll be a novelty. His crossing from deep is good as well. If it's 4-4-2, he'd be my first choice for the left-wing in Jonas' absence.

There is also a chance we might have a go at 4-3-3, with Obertan Sammy or Marv further up the pitch in his place. Nah, who am I kidding? 4-4-2 with Fergie coming in. We'll lose Jonas' workrate and ball carrying ability, but we'll almost certainly create more going forward whoever comes in. We've got so many left footers in reserve, it'd be good actually have some width down that flank as you say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of very few who never look for the long ball and we need that at the moment. The main problem with him this season is that he's been far, far too deep in that role though. He can't really use any of his good attributes if he's always starting off just outside his own penalty area. His best games in the middle I have seen are where he is allowed to get forward and carry the ball like you say. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
