Newcastle United vs West Brom - 21/12/11 @ 7.45pm - Pre Match Thread


Recommended Posts

Think we'll see Vuckic or Abeid in for Cabaye and that'll be the only change.

 

Missing out on the West Brom game will be the perfect motivation for HBA.

 

Motivation to do what? Hand in a transfer request?

 

I'd be pretty fucked off if as the clubs most creative and arguably best attacking player I'd been excluded against 2 so called weaker teams who will be looking firstly for the draw.

Is it a bit optomistic to ask for this:

Krul

Simpson  Colo  Williamson  Santon

Obertan            Tiote            Jonas

                      Ben Arfa                 

              Best          Ba

I doubt Pardew is going to deviate from the 'double pivot' of Tiote and another midfielder both with defensive central duties, the question is whether he puts another attacking midfielder ahead (HBA) or sticks in another striker. If Vucknic is good enough to be challenging properly for first team in attacking midfield position, and Abeid a decent enough player I'd like to see (but won't)

 

standard backline

 

HBA      Abeid      Tiote      Jonas

 

                  Vucknic

 

                    Ba

 

(edit)

 

it will be Obertan on right, and best or HBA in front (either alongside or in Vucknic's place there if it's HBA).
