Jordan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Did look much better as an attacker today. Think when everyone's fit () he should be given a chance as a winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Horrible at fullback today. In the 3-5-2 with less defensive duties looked much better. He literally goes missing at FB. Worried if you thought we went 3-5-2, but as a wide player in 4-3-2-1 we switch to he did play well. Looked to me we went 3-5-2 when Shola went on.... Perch-Taylor-Yanga Santon Jonas Tiote-Marv-Siss With Santon at least pushing forward. Nah, he kept the back four with Perch, Saylor, Mapou and Jonas. Then had Toite, Sissoko and Santon right out wide right. Then stuck Cisse and Marv in behind Shola.....as lobsided as you can get. Great management like Nope we definitely had a back 3. Would you like me to take pictures? We did , 3 centre halves Perch, Taylor and Mapou with Santon and Jonas pushed into midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Santon was outstanding (relatively speaking of course) defensively in the first three months of the season. That's because jonas helped him out most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Unless you count Perch, yeah. Pretty sure Raylor got one near the beginning of the season as well actually. Edit: Yeah Taylor got one in the Europa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Shocking stat, that. Takes till March 17th for one of our regular backline to score a league goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 really wasn't at RB. Barely even bothered to come back and defend too, when he moved. Looked good going forward and I think that maybe his best position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Yeah he was playing right wing when he scored, as we'd switched to 3-4-1-2 at that point. Lovely finish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 We're short on natural width in midfield too, which makes Haidara's injury that much more galling. Wouldn't have minded seeing us having the option of a Debuchy-Santon right flank with a Haidara-HBA left flank (should we ever revert to the madness that is 4-4-2 ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Krul Debuchy Taylor MYM Haidara Santon Cabaye Sissoko HBA Cisse Gouffran Dreaming of next season/a world free of injures^ - robust on paper Presumably Colo will be off in the summer.

GuyP Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 he was right wing back yesterday for the last half hour or so, and man, he had alot of space! I reckon Debuchy would have stuck it away too like, but was just saying to my mate before, if we were to play 3 at the back, we have the best set of full backs in the league to deploy that system! Falls down when we have the likes of Ben Arfa to come back, and presumably Gouffran has done enough to prove he is worth of a start if he was originally supposed to be a squad player in the long run.

Robbo Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 http://www.football-italia.net/32088/u21-santon-injury-concern U21: Santon injury concern By Football Italia staff Davide Santon is in doubt for Italy’s Under-21 games against Russia and Ukraine after he pulled up with a muscular problem. The Newcastle United full-back interrupted today’s training session early due to pain in his left thigh and will undergo tests tomorrow. If they come back with concerns, then Santon may well be sent back to Newcastle early for treatment. The Azzurrini play two friendlies in the lead-up to the European Under-21 Championship in June. They take on Russia in Cittadella on Friday March 22, then welcome Ukraine to Bassano del Grappa on Monday March 25. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
