thomas Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 If we see Alan Smith at any point on Saturday would rather french kiss a wall socket I think Pardew is going to surprise us all with his lineup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 It's vital we keep the wingers quiet, Morrison will have a field day againt that defence if we allow him too much service. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 How about we go with a radical skirge-esque line up and go with a 3 4 3 formation KRUL SIMPSON PERCH SANTON RAYLOR GUTHRIEorTIOTE CABAYE JONAS BA SHOLA HBA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 A lot of Obertan-less lineups, I'd be very surprised to see him not playing as he seems to always play when fit. Me, I'd also drop him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves dropping after the weekend (didn't see Man U game so can't comment) and I'm dying to see HBA on the wing and I think Best gives up a different dimension upfront and frees up Ba. Pardew obviously see's it different though unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I quite like the option of Obertan away from home, he seems to do better with a bit less pressure on him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I think with the defence being as it is, we need wide men who will get back and help out. We're simply not going to get that from Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Obertan and Lovenkrands do? Tbf, Obertan does do a fair bit of tracking back. Not really effective admittedly, but at least he tries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Shame we were so tightfisted over that Darnel Situ. Might have came in handy, ey. He couldn't get international clearance, so he wouldn't have been very handy at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Pretty sure that was just because Swansea were useless with the paperwork. They didn't get Halliche for the same reason. Both are EU, so I don't see what other reason would have stopped them happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 If Pardew plays 2 full backs as centre backs we will lose, we will deserve to lose and he'd deserve a right lot of grief for doing so.

I'd certainly start Kadar given our current situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're also neglecting the fact it's been stated several times in various press reports Kadar has been told to pull his socks up or his arse will be out the door sooner rather than later. Frankly, a comment such as the above is nothing short of moronic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Personally, I'd rather play a natural CB than a fullback there even if it means a youngster with very little experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
