Dave Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Surely Ferguson will just play LB in this one? Barely back in training after not playing for nearly a month, missing pretty much all pre-season. Seems unlikely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifu Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Surely Ferguson will just play LB in this one? Only just returned to training today. Not sure if he'll actually be fit enough for Saturday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Ah, I thought he'd been back in training for a little while now. Not having NUFC TV really takes you out of the loop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quailman Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Surely Ferguson will just play LB in this one? Only just returned to training today. Not sure if he'll actually be fit enough for Saturday. Pardew said he won't be playing as he's just returned to training Thursday - not enough pre-season etc...

Quailman Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Based on what I have gathered over the last week I think this might be the line up. Saying that I am throwing in Kadar (I have no idea where this kid has been!). Although Marveaux has had some game time in pre-season, I still don't think Pardew will start him as I don't think he could do the whole 90 mins, however he will get on at some stage in the 2nd half. I also think that going 4-5-1 is negative for our first home game and with the ripping Jonas, Barton and Tiote gave Arsenal in the 4-4 game last season they have all got to start IMO - so 4-4-2 has to be what Pardew will go for. Krul Simpson Saylor Colo Kadar Barton Cabaye Tiote Jonas Ba Best Subs: Harper, Marveaux, Obertan, Williamson, Vuckic, Gosling, Shola This isn't the line up I would like us to send out, as I'd love to give Vuckic a big role, but I think his time will come this season. If Kadar isn't available, which is probable then I'd maybe have Saylor switched to LB and Williamson in at CB - but I think we would be even more vulnerable! Obviously Barton (with the right mindset as Pardew keeps talking about) would hopefully start, but I wouldn't be too upset if Gosling was given the opportunity.

Ronaldo Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Kadar got raped against Crystal Palace at full-back. Arsenal will tear him a new one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quailman Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Kadar got raped against Crystal Palace at full-back. Arsenal will tear him a new one. Who would you put there then? I thought he has looked solid at the back before - more as a CB though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I think we will see Jonas at left back, Marveaux on the left wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRC Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I think thats the best option. Taylor has played a fair bit at RB to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quailman Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I think we will see Jonas at left back, Marveaux on the left wing. I don't know enough about Marveaux's game to feel confident that if Jonas commits to an attack, he will cover. Enrique was saved a few times because Jonas could always fill in if needed. That is a very attacking option - if Pardew tries that he has very big balls.... of steal... smacking Wenger around the face... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Jonas LB with Marveux or Obertan on the LW for me. That's the best bet for this match in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
