Taylor Swift Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Our CM pairing is fine, and I'd rather not play Santon or Kadar at CB. It's essentially a choice between Tiote, Santon and Kadar as Perch's partner. Tiote's attributes mean that he'd do ok at CB. He's strong, reads the game well and can tackle. Kadar is completely unproven and Santon isn't strong enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Kadar's a more proven CB than Chieck! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Isn't Kadar a specialist CB though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakie Doke Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Tiote and Perch would be a ridiculously small CB pairing. I think our best bet would probably be Kadar and Perch with Tiote just infront of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Can't believe im saying this, but i actually think that Perch will surprise us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Has to be Kadar or whoever else who plays CB for the reserves along with Perch. Or Perch - Danny. Doesn't has to be, but I think that's what we'll see. Also was encouraging to see Perch on saturday as he wasn't a complete fucking liability. He wasn't good, but he wasnt terrible like always. Was nice seeing him win a ball or two for once without comitting a foul or so. I also think this game will show us if Pardew is the true deal, if he can cope with injuries along with tactic change along with an extremely offensive game. We will win this game by scoring the most goals, not conceding the fewest and I hope Pardew realizes that rather than try and play safe because we have a shit CB pairing and wont want them exposed. I also feel like its a good game to re-introduce the twin up top and put Barfa out on the right. Or play a 3man centra lmidfield if Cheick is back. I thought Barfa was very poor against Chelsea, but it'll be a true gutting decision if Pardew decides to put him on the bench. Time for Barfa to shine against a smaller club rather than against the best defenders in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest taps01 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Krul Simpson Santon Perch Taylor Oba Cabayle Tiote Jonas Ba Best If we get that team out i think it will be good enough to beat Norwich. The one thing we do know about our squad now is that when we have our backs against the wall we always come out fighting. Now more than ever this season we need to roll our sleeves up and fight for each other out there for 90 mins and i have no doubt that we will.

He's strong, reads the game well and can tackle. Kadar is completely unproven and Santon isn't strong enough. Its not though is it, i don't think Tiote should be anywhere near CB. Too many turns in the box and not to mention rash tackling For me its basically a choice with playing Kadar or shifting a full back in to the centre, neither ideal but both better than sticking Cheick in there..although he's had a to do a job in there for me on Fifa....so who knows...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I never think it's a good idea to play too many people out of position. Why weaken the midfield as well as the defence? Just play Kadar and Perch - I know it's terrifying but it's the best we have available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 if tiote doesn't make it... Krul Simpson Perch Kadar Santon Gosling Cabaye Guthrie Ben Arfa Jonas Ba will probably be Krul Simpson Perch Santon Raylor Obertan Cabaye Guthrie Jonas Shola Ba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Tiote has a tendency to fart about with the ball in our own penalty area so i wouldn't be comfortable at all with him playing centre half. Santon or Kadar for me. I'm trying to think of the last time Kadar actually played for us, was it Bristol City away in the CCC partnering Colocinni? Sure he had a stinker and we were very fortunate to come back and draw after a goalkeeping howler played in Jonas to get a goal back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Nah, he played at Bristol but only off the bench quite late on (certainly after both their goals anyway). Had a shot saved with like his first touch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 If Tiote is fit, I'd play him at CB. Barcelona do it all the time man! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 This sounds mental, but I'd seriously consider starting Shola. His holding up the ball will take alot of pressure off the defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His holding up the ball will take alot of pressure off the defence. it's not that mental, he's been pretty good recently. the eternal problem though is that over the season 50% of shola's performances will be worse than shite, effectively giving us 10 men and the opposition 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest optimistic nit Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 would definately prefer to start santon at cb. he may not have too much experience there (not sure if he has or not) but he's got a hell of a lot more experience in top flight football than kadar. If tiote why start him out of position when in cm he could take a lot of pressure off the defence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood why you seem to rate Shola. It certainly blows Shola Ameobi's 1 goal per every 25 shots out of the air I keep forgetting Ameobi is a talentless arsehole. Thankfully Ronaldo is here to remind us...all the time. To all those that were happy/accepting enough for him to have a new contract (and there were a fair few!), thanks very much. Waste of a shirt. Might as well play with 10 men. Nah, me either... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
