Lotus Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 He had lots of time and space last night and he used it well. Would love to see him, Cabaye and HBA in the same team (us not france...). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Man of the match by a mile. Thought Anita and Demba shaded him but his contribution over the last few games and especially last night has been a significant improvement. He's really excellent in tight situations.

Guest firetotheworks Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yeah, and when Marveaux is injured, Ba left, Cisse central. Won't happen of course. I just have to keep saying it for my own sanity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 He was excellent and also got stuck in when he had to, no bottled challenges. He now needs to play a few games to get a bit of consistency and show that it's not a one off flash in the pan. Anita was class tonight as well mind.

alexf Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 We have definitely lacked a player like him. Someone who can pick a pass and also go on a run at pace if needs be. So pleased he finally showed what he is capable of. Shooting needs work but i have a feeling if he gets time and space he could thunderbastard one in His Free-kicks were very good too. Would like to see him in the same team as Hatem so defences have two dribblers too worry about. My team for fulham if Ben Arfa is fit to start: Krul (simpson & willo weren't Simpson Williamson Colo Santon terrible last night but still scare me) Tiote Anita Marveaux Ben Arfa Cisse Ba Front three interchanging and moving around like they did last night. Jonas for me is the one who doesn't keep his spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hard to take too much from the match last night, as we played against ten for so long. But MY WORD (Wilkins) Marv was impressive! Retained possession well, was spinning his man for fun, skipped past players, whipped set pieces were good (the usual lofted willy routine was s***), switched play when he needed to and he even won a few headers! I can remember one bad ball from him, where he tried a diagonal to the right hand side and it went straight to a Wigan player. Other than that, he was pretty much faultless I thought. The formation was far better last night. Can't wait to see it when HBA is back. Jonas' place must be under threat now, he's been so bad this season. Not sure it suits Cisse playing so far wide, but he did interchange positions with Ba, actually linked up with him a bit and he showed some nice touches at times. This front 6 against Fulham?? : Anita Tiote HBA Marveaux Cisse Ba Not sure Jonas will get dropped and perhaps that is too attacking for an away game. But I'd like to see us playing this more often.

Ikon Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Criminal if he doesn't get a start ahead of Jonas against Fulham, and im afraid it's fucking likely! Or played in a position where it wont 'hurt' the team defensively from Pardew's POV. Must start in the same setup and in the same position as yesterday.

Ronaldo Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Rather have Cisse up top. You watch the game last night? Yeah. We won the game mainly because of Cisse's movement off the shoulder. He's still the best player we have in a central striking role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that makes sense: Tiote - Anita HBA - Marv - Jonas Ba Opens up the intriguing possibility of using Perch in defence too.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I would definitely replace Williamson with Perch tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Have to say, I thought he was fantastic yesterday, but can't help but feel people are (understandably) getting carried away. He needs to stay fit for a while, put a run of form together before he should be in our fully-fit XI, IMO. Atm, for me it's still: Cabaye Tiote HBA Ba X Cisse That spot on the left is up for grabs tbh. Obertan has wasted enough opportunities. Jonas won't rediscover his attacking legs at this stage in his carer. Anita is getting better, but not yet up to pace. Marv is back from injury. Ferguson is coming along well. Sammy is a bit too raw. Then there's the January sales/purchases... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The whole reason we looked good last night because of the 3 in midfield going back to the old Ba off Cisse routine is asking for trouble. Would definitely stick with the same front 6 in the same positions except maybe Ben Arfa on the right and Cisse on the left ( roaming and interchanging with Ba). Pardew might want Jonas instead of Cisse and honestly in certain games thats fine too but if we want similar performances to last night then i would stick with Marveaux inbetween Tiote and Anita and who ever the Central striker is until Cabaye comes back. No one else in the squad can do what Marveaux did last night other than Cabaye and he's out till February so i would definitely make him a permanent fixture until then.

Guest Poz Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Marveaux played in a very involved position last night and it suited him and therefore us better than playing wide... a bit of a discovery that and one which cheered us all up on the way home ... he finally looks a player and made a great partnership with Anita...

eliassenfredrik Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 The front 6 should be fielded like this when everyone is fit: Cabaye - Tiote Ben Arfa - Anita - Marveaux Ba Cabaye deep lying playmaker. Anita pressing high and combining with Ben Arfa and Marveaux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Swap Cabaye and Anita and yeah. Cabaye's an attacking midfielder, he wants to be further forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Like Beren said earlier, I don't think we have a definite front 6. We have 4 or 5 who start no matter what but that extra position/s should be filled by whoever is performing at that time, if someone goes on to force their way into a guaranteed started then it's all good.

Ronaldo Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Swap Cabaye and Anita and yeah. Cabaye's an attacking midfielder, he wants to be further forward. He isn't an attacking midfielder, he's basically the same type as Anita with different attributes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
