tmonkey Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I still don't get why he was dropped in the first place. Our best player over the Christmas period and frequently looks a very neat playmaker through the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I still don't get why he was dropped in the first place. Our best player over the Christmas period and frequently looks a very neat playmaker through the middle. Cos we brought in Sissokho who has been playing in Marv's best position. And we all know how he started here. In the middle he' so much better. He just looks happier and more comfortable. "Get me the ball, i'll keep it." If the right pass isn't on he'll slow it down and play it simple. Today, Siss looks to only have 1 gear and it's GO GO GO! Always looking for the killer ball when sometimes his great runs would be better if he passed it simple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 In some games i'd start him ahead of Tiote and drop Sissoko back a bit, there is absolutely no reason for Tiote to start in games like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I still don't get why he was dropped in the first place. Our best player over the Christmas period and frequently looks a very neat playmaker through the middle. Because Guitierrez works harder defensively and that's Pardew's main concern.

IIRC he picked up an injury after the Christmas period when he was by far our best player, then when he returned he was played on the left wing where he did even less than Guti. After that he hasn't had a look in until the 10 minute cameo against Chelsea and the odd substitute appearance/Europa game since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnes23 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 In some games i'd start him ahead of Tiote and drop Sissoko back a bit, there is absolutely no reason for Tiote to start in games like this. I would do it for most games, especially at home. Quality player, worthy of a starting place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sissoko would be an ideal holding mf who can burst forward in the space left by teams defending deep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Still don't think he has the work-rate to play on the wing and I don't think we are good enough to leave a full back exposed against two players, especially with both full backs being attack minded. Like the idea of him as an impact sub though or as a bad up to Sissoko. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NG32 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The kind of player you need when the game is "claggy" with no movement, can spot the tiniest of spaces for a pass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Him and Hatem are the only two that can, as Pards has put it before, 'unlock' the door in that way. Yohan can get us on the counter and plays lovely through balls from deep, Sissoko runs like an ox with the ball at his feet and those two have that magic touch in and around the box. Would be great if we could always incorporate one of the pair into the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest palnese Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I think Pardew's biggest problem is that he can't find a position for Marveaux where he can utilize his qualities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Needs to start instead of that shithouse Guti. Big time. Gutierrez is akin to a closing pitcher in baseball, who could come on to help see out a winning result in the last few minutes. Nothing more at all. Home or away, derby or not, he should not start matches for us when the little gem that is Marveaux is available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could do a very good job in the AM role, but I don't want to move Sissoko out wide or into a deeper role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
