Skirge Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Is he to lieght weight to be a fullback ? I think so but he should start Left midfield for me, his last two subs appearances deserve a start. If we are sticking with 4-4-2 then he should start yes, LB or LW but its just as important to have Santon at RB too. Anita at LB if Fergie on the LW would be a good idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita at LB if Fergie on the LW would be a good idea Yep, any of the ways you describe. I would have him at LW if it was me, i kinda like a full back who can cut in (Santon) if you have a proper LW, opens up space for the LW to get 1 on 1.

Skirge Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I know I am in the minority with not being convinced by Santon but I just do not see what he offers really from LB. I would deffinietly like to see him have a go a RB. And Anita has looked better at fullback than in CM so then surely he is a better option at LB as he is meant to be more adept in that role. As much as I love Jonas and his work ethic I feel he denies the fullback a lot of space and it costs us at times. Santon---Taylor---Colo---Anita Benny---Cabaye--Tiote---Fergie Surely that is our best option at creating chances in a 4-4-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Fergie can certainly fill in at left back if need be but it's becoming apparent that he's more of a left winger and I guess that's where his long term future lies.

Santon is a far better defender than Anita. Also Anita is right footed too so you're still going to have the issue of no width. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I would still prefer to see Santon at RB, I said I was in the minority but am just not convinced by him. Give the lad the best chance to have an impac and play with at RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Still don't understand tbh, Santon looks comfortable and been one of our best players and even when he has played RB on the odd ocassions in his career he looks worse if anything. I agree Fergie should play but it should be in midfield and i really can't see Jonas being dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I want him on the wing over fullback. He has the pace and crossing ability that is best utilised on the wing. Like a lot on here, he needs to start and we should be looking to get him in our best 11 because his crossing is better than anything we've had in years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the lad the best chance to have an impac and play with at RB. I'd agree. He's improved steadily in his time here, but he's very right footed and in many situations that ends up looking awkward.

STM Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 One of my favourite things about Pardew is that last year he was picking players on merit because they had earned there shot in the side. Two assists in two cameo's for Ferguson, in a side lacking pace and goal threat, play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyeyzzon Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I think I'd play him at fullback for the time being, given our depth and injury problems in defence. Though once we sort that out I'm sure the LW/LM spot is just begging to be his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Equal top assists for the team in the league with...one. Needs to start left wing just to get the ball in the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Amazing how good a player can look at our team just by getting his head up and crossing into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
