Norwich vs Newcastle - 10/12/11 - Pre Match Thread

In some respects Gosling might actually be a better match with Cabaye than Guthrie given that he'll probably be tasked with the defensive work while Cabaye will get to roam forward again.

 

Beat me to it - we might see the creative side of Cabaye a bit more again, although Gosling does seem to enjoy getting into the opposition penalty box. Any more bad news and I say we just forfeit the match, take the 3-0 defeat that anyone who has ever played FIFA knows that this will incur and try to get people fit for Swansea.

From the Journal, Danny Simpson:

 

“We have been working as a back five in training, day in and day out working on things,” said the Mancunian, who could face a change of position at Carrow Road. “It’s nice when you don’t have to change things.”

 

Anyone think we might line up as 532?

SURELY we can't go through January without adding to our squad? Paper thin like. We have a great group of players but the squad is too thin. I'm not talking about having major competition for places. We're not big enough for that but when a player has to be given a squad number in December to cover for injuries you're in trouble.

OK, lets give this another go.....

 

                        Krul

 

Simpson    Perch    Colo      Raylor

 

Obertan    Gosling    Cabaye    Jonas

 

                  Ameobi    Ba

 

(Though I'd go: Krul; Simpson, Perch, Colo, Santon; Ben Arfa, Gosling, Cabaye, Jonas; Best, Ba)

 

I'd definitely sacrifice Tiote and Guthrie if it means Colo is back. A 1-1 draw.

I don't think Obertan will be dropped with the amount of other first-team players missing.

 

Yeah, I don't think Pardew will drop him although I personally would like to see Sammy ahead of him for this match especially.

I know. What could Norwich's tactics be?

 

"Well, half the team are rubbish, so go down that side. Either that or run reasonably fast at Ryan Taylor"

I'd like to see us play like we did against Stoke and just go out to batter Norwich. Stick our most attacking side out and aim to hound their defence in the first half. Hopefully by doing that we'd be able to keep the ball away from our end and nick a few goals in the process, making it easier for ourself in the second half.

Well not only that but there's the issue of who we might sell too! The two at the top will always think of ££££££ first before footballing sense.

Doesn't Shola drift left as well?
