Dave Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Smith up front with Carroll. Don't be silly. why not he may (accidently obviously) do something resembling useful there rather than get in the way of tiote in the holding role If Pardew is playing Smith as a striker ahead of Ranger then there's something seriously wrong.

Ketsbaia Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 for the first time ever, a PL manager actually forfeits a match. but why did it have to be us? and why make it so obvious? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 We'll probably win Aye was about to say, we are nailed on to win this one now. Smith first scorer after about 9 minutes, getting his last 2 in the 58th and 90th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there? Would be classic Pardew to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spark Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 What do we reckon then? Routledge off Carroll? Barton off Carroll? The old 4-3-3/4-5-1 with Jonas/Routledge either side of Carroll? An adventurous 4-2-3-1? Alan Smith man marking (crippling) VDV? What a treat we are in for. Probably no one off Carroll, like the Man City match.

Wullie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Kadar was on the bench against WBA but Pardew has not selected him yet... is he injured or is Pardew just thick as fuck? That's a hypothetical question btw, I know the answer. Perch ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinotheprehistoricgeordie Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Barton of Carroll might work but we need him to influence the game more so playing him as an attacking mid could harm us more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzle Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 for the first time ever, a PL manager actually forfeits a match. but why did it have to be us? and why make it so obvious? There's a few dodgy selections but he doesn't exactly have a lot of options. I don't agree with what he's done but if he wanted to play 4-5-1 who else could he pick?
