Worth giving anyone a rest?

 

Wigan are probably the worst side in the league at the moment.

 

                    Krul

Santon Saylor Colo Raylor

            Tiote Cabaye

Marveaux  HBA  Jonas

                  Ba

 

Bench:

Best

Shameobi

Obertan

Gosling

Simpson

Harper

Ferguson

 

this,  or

 

                      Krul

Santon  Saylor    Colo    Raylor

 

HBA      Tiote    Cabaye  Jonas

 

          Best/Shola  Ba

While I would love to see Marveux and Ben Arfa in the starting eleven, the most important change is to get Santon in there ASAP. For me, Taylor is the one that makes room for him, a lot of people on here disagrees with that, but in the end, it doesn't matter all that much who he replaces, as long as he replaces one of our full backs.

Can't help but feel that our left hand side would be fucking lethal with Santon and Jonas there, and when we eventually have Ben Arfa, Marveux and Ba in the side as well, we'll have too many attacking options for our opponents to be able to double up on Santon and Jonas.

Need to find a new flat before the weekend so I can travel up for this, otherwise I'll have to have viewings.

 

Usually I'd be posting that this could be a potential slip up, but the way we're playing at the moment I'm relatively confident of a win. Would start HBA then take him off after 60mins if he needs it.

                        Krul

 

Santon    Taylor    Coloccini      Taylor

 

                                Tiote

              Cabaye

Obertan                                    Jonas

                            Ben Arfa

                  Ba

 

The only other possibility is Pardew naming an unchanged side again but i can't help feeling that he will bring Santon and Ben Arfa in to this one.

 

Wigan are absolute toss, probably going to be the worst team to play at SJP this season, so i expect a comfortable win.

 

I'll go 4-1

Give or take about 5 miles, it's like a Geordie refereeing a Sunderland match.

Wigan are shocking at the back but not the worst going forward. I expect a few goals but i think we will out score them. 3:1 to us atleast

 

Reading their forum apparently they're shambolic at the back, lack physicality and creativity in midfield and can't score goals.  :lol:

 

Genuine mass suicide on the cards it seems, so if we lose I'll be mortified.
