Mole_Toonfan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 We are getting overrun anyway, which is the point..... We are. I'm not sure how going all gung ho with 8 attacking minded outfield players will help resolve that situation? For one we can keep the ball better and put teams under pressure and instead of them having no fear and easily combine for counter attacks they will drop backwards because they will have the likes of Anita, Santon, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Debuchy, Marveaux and maybe Remy running at them.... It will help defensively too for that reason as our defense wont be under anywhere near as much pressure. I never saw us under this much pressure under Keegan or Sir Bobby, honestly the best form of defense is having a good offense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Cabaye Anita HBA Marveaux New signing Cisse Is what I want. And two attacking full backs? I can see us getting completely overran in that formation. Destroyed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with that in principle, but there's a balance to be had surely? Well yeah i'd expect that Anita would be more of a DM like he was at Ajax, Cabaye would be more of a CM and there would need to be an understanding from the fullbacks when to go forward and when to attack. We would also have to press effectively as a team, but any decent manager who has any idea about attacking football could make it work. Unfortunately Pardew probably doesn't have the nous or the balls to make it work Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Cabaye Anita HBA Marveaux New signing Cisse Is what I want. Based on the last weeks performances, Obertan in where you've got "New Signing". Obviously, if we could get someone like Remy in, Obertan is the first to go, but he's a good option until we get someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 amazed how calm he is on the ball. Perfect for an AM, makes the right choices rather often aswell. Just need runners inn behind the lines. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If he can stay injury free and find some consistency i would build the team around him in an attacking position centrally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Carries the ball forward so well, can't wait to see him exchanging balls with Ben Arfa I genuinely want him Cabaye and Anita in a midfield 3 for rest of season, but think Pardew wants a destroyer at all times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingcrofty Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Interview with him in RMC saying he was down a few weeks ago and considered leaving but convinced Pardew to give him a run in the team and he's loving it now, says the target for him isn't to stay up but to climb the league to a good position as quickly as possible.

Pleased he's honest about how he was feeling, because he's bound to have been upset by lack of playing time. Hopefully he stays until the summer at least now.

Tiresias Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'd rather a player wanted to leave cos of not playing than he was happy sitting on the bench. He's grasped his chance and should stay in the team for rest of season if he keeps this up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Would be gutted if Marv went now. It should be Tiote who loses his place in midfield when Cabaye is fully fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Really want to see him and HBA operating in the same side. Gives us two players who can take people on. Players who can take opposition players out of the game and create space, but have questionable work-rate... TWO of them. Don't be so fucking ridiculous, that would definitely be suicide.

Aye this defensive putrid shit is not taking us anywhere might as well learn a bit from KK and put teams on the back foot. Pards will never do that though the f*cking clueless twat.

toontownman Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Change is Impossible - must set up defensive, keep central midfielders deep and then pull a goal out of our arses to pick up points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 1. Set up defensive 2. Concede two goals by half time 3. Send out Marveaux on the 70th minute, but hoof ball over his head anyway 4. GET SACKED YOU CUNT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
