Tiresias Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Just to be daft, this game might be one to give Mehdi Abeid a shot, since he seems to be impressing the reserves, and we need to at some point. How about Krul Santon Saylor Colo Raylor Abeid Tiote HBA Cabaye Guti Ba Think it'll end up too defensive actually but didn't Cabaye play there for his last club? Would like Abeid get some gametime if he is being lined up to replace Tiote when he's off at the ACN Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I've a gut feeling that Pardew doesnt really rate Best "that" highly and I think he may use his performance today as the reason to drop him out of the line up next weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Obertan out and Ben Arfa given a free role out on the right, please. Santon in for either full back too. 3-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Like someone said, this could be our Blackpool last season. Fucking hope not! We're capable of hammering these guys, let's just hope the lads show up and get the job done. Would like to see: Krul Santon Saylor Colo Raylor Marv Yocabs Tiote Jonas Barfa Ba Will probably be: Krul Simmo Saylor Colo Raylor Barfa Yocabs Tiote Jonas Best Ba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Reckon Lovenkrands will see some time on the pitch, especially if we're up. Which is sickening. To be fair, it's nice to give him game time when the game's wrapped up so he gets his title winner's medal in May. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Not sure about exact formation but given how their defence looked yesterday I think this is definitely a game for Ben Arfa. Santon to come in at either left or right back with Simpson dropping out imo. Also bring Marveaux in for Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Very realistic chance that we could end next weekend at least 5 points clear of 7th place, and probably 8 clear of 8th. Would be nice to have a cushion going into "those" games so even if we do lose the 3 of them we're still up in 6th-7th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stozo Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Feels like we are spoilt for choice in terms of team selection at the minute. Would like to see Santon and Ben Arfa both get starts but then I understand Pardew's problem in dropping players who have been doing the business for us. I think Ben Arfa could really do with a start but the problem is that in a game like this we should really be playing 4-4-2 with two proper strikers and Jonas is playing so well that we shouldn't drop him. I'd go for: Krul Santon Saylor Colo Raylor Obertan Cabaye Tiote Jonas Best Ba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Aye if we get a win here and something off Everton it sets us up nicely, even if we get an absolute roasting in Manchester. I don't think we will. Think we can surprise against both Manchester sides and also against Chelsea. Only after that it will start that the opposition teams will take us too serious. Big bonus that all those 3 are playing in the CL and even Mancini will probably have to rest some players against us in order to not get a disaster in the CL. Don't have a clue if they are even playing in it before/after our game, though. A bit OT, but you can bet your house on SAF playing a full strength team against us, only to rest players the game before or after against one of our rivals who will get something from the game. Classic SAF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I would be tempted to rest Tiote for this one and give Gosling some game time, he's on his 3rd yellow already and we're going to need him for all of the games in November, plus it will do Gosling good if we want him up to speed when he replaces Tiote during the ANC.

maybe_next_year Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 it would be just like us to somehow lose to this lot. although we should absolutly rape them raw. i'll go for 4-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 First match of the season for me, nailed on shite performance. I'll pretty disappointed if we don't win like (not because we're playing well but because Wigan are shit and self respecting team in the league should expect a victory at home to them) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
