Andy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 ----------------Krul Simo-----Tayls------Colo------RTay Sant-----Guth-------Cab------Jonas -----------Ba----------Best Aye. I think we'll line up like that, assuming Obertan/Tiote aren't available and Best is. Would certainly rather see Santon played in his proper position and Raylor in what is (supposedly) his proper position in right midfield. There's no way Pardew will unsettle the defence, and rightly so in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think the front 6 is ok to change about depending on injuries, but the back four, just keep it as it is imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this although I was pushing for Santon at left back,we've got a settled defence for once,keep it going if possible Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Gosling is also fucking terrible on right. If injuries are a problem, it's either HBA or Santon on the right for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was supposed to be pretty fucking terrible at left back too. No point in playing two players out of position. So you'd break up a back-line that is statistically the best in the league, in order to move the left back from that defence - who is currently playing the best football of his career - into a position where in the past he has consistently failed to perform? Santon has shown in the past that he's more than capable of playing as an attacking right wing-back, so I doubt it would be too hard a task for him to play on the wing against City, given that we're probably going to need both of our wingers to act as secondary full-backs for the majority of the match anyway.

Andy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Where's this idea of Santon starting on the right of midfield come from? Lack of options? No matter who we put there, it's going to be a case of square peg/round hole since we have no natural right wingers fit. Pardew will look for maximum defensive-protection, so it will be between Santon, Guthrie and Gosling I think - can't see Ben Arfa getting a look in as he doesn't have the work-rate to play that role. Out of the three, Santon would be the most sensible option since he's a natural wide player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
