To compensate lack of Cabaye (if he is out) I'd cram midfield, so go with

 

 

                      Krul

Raylor    Saylor    Colo  Santon

 

              Abeid    Tiote

 

                  Gosling

 

HBA/Guti                    Marveaux

 

                      Ba

 

Know HBA is sort of wanted in gosling position but my thinking is that HBA is likely to play further up pitch off striker and i'd want third man in midfield to do plenty of defensive work, Gosling and Abeid are inexperienced but both there with Tiote backing up should stop them being overwhelmed. Guti is switched to the right if he's playing to counteract Bale and marveaux getting in behind lennon or VdV could give us some love. Dunno if to prefer guthrie to either gosling or abeid really

Why would you take Ben Arfa or Jonas for Gosling?!?!

 

Surely:

 

            Abeid    Tiote

 

                  Ben Arfa

 

Jonas                      Marveaux

 

                      Ba

 

Would be a much more sensible solution?

As I said in the post, I think HBA is likely to run forward and attack and not contribute to keeping possession and defensively, with HBA then it's a like for like replacement of Cabaye with Abeid/Gosling who probably isn't quite ready. More people sitting in the midfield would help them with confidence, and HBA can play on wing and probably have a fairly free role anyway.

 

With Cabaye and Tiote behind him HBA can attack and play in the hole with more confidence.

Really looking forward to this match. Both teams are in very good form at the moment. Should be a very competitive event. What's the confidence level of everyone around here?

Walking on air and can't remember the last time we lost / have the usual nagging feeling it'll all fall to pieces and know we're definitely due a loss.

 

Well they're my feelings anyway.  Losing the game wouldn't be the end of the world of course, I fancy a draw.

If, by horrible chance, Cabaye is injured we could maybe go with a diamond?

 

Best.............Ba

Ben Arfa

Marveaux.........................Jonas

Tiote

 

You never know, we might be able to make it work.

 

No chance that Marveaux and HBA will both start.

 

I think he'll go with either the same line-up like against Wolves or probably with 1 striker.

 

Pardew already hinted at that as he said he might have to take away the style from the team to get a result against the bigger sides.
