Sylvain Marveaux - arrested


Recommended Posts

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.

I think Pardew's biggest problem is that he can't find a position for Marveaux where he can utilize his qualities.

I don't think there is a position without dropping a better player tbf.

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.

Plays in Sissoko's position.

Yep. That's the problem. 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.

I don't mind seeing Sissoko wide every now and then, the middle part of the pitch gets a bit too cramped for him at times.

Absolutely has to be on the pitch in the absence of Ben Arfa IMO.

 

Central is his best position, but he's still a better option out wide than a "Jonas out wide".

Bit of movement around him and he's a different player. Funnily enough, for the goal our movement was poor but a Stoke player broke the line to close Marveaux down and he just threaded the ball through the space that had opened up. Still if we were a team with some decent movement in it he'd come to the fore.

Credit where it's due, he played well and set up the winner with his cameo off the bench. He needs to keep doing that, especially when he starts a game. One assist doesn't mean those previous mediocre performances didn't happen. I want him to succeed, it's up to him to put the performances in every game he plays.

Against the likes of Stoke who sit so deep that vision is more useful than pace, we should be looking to drop Sissoko deeper instead of Tiote and play Marveaux at the tip of the midfield.

This is the kind of tactical nous I wish Pardew had, pumping balls into the box wasn't going to work, Stoke are all tall and physical (plus begovic was more than happy to come out for them) and were happy to defend that.
