madras Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 have to say, as poor as we were at times today, some of the link ups between jonas and ben arfa were very good. fulham couldn't tackle either today, with a differernt strikeforce we would have been home and dry by half time. how many times have i heard that today( well yesterday) The question you should be asking yourself is, how many times will you be hearing that until the ACN is over. hoping none, predicting at least 2 or 3.

TRC Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I thought Cisse was more of a number 9? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Aye, swap Cisse with Ba and that is Maybe Guthrie instead of Jonas as I think he would work better in a 3 man midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm a bit reluctant to put Ba there as he is out top scorer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 From the little I have seen of Cisse I don't think he would be suited to the wide role, think Ba played there for West Ham Though I think Pardew will stick with the 4-4-2 so neither will have to go out wide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I'm reluctant to play 3 in midfield while Danny Simpson is still a starter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 As much as I think as an attacking force at home this woyld be superb and just not sure we would cope at the back. It does drop into a nice 4-4-2 though --------------Krul Simo----Willi-----Colo-----Santon --------------Tiote ---Cab--------------------Jonas -------------Benny ----Cisse---------------Ba ========================== --------------Krul Simo----Willi-----Colo-----Santon Jonas----Cab-----Tiote-----Benny ---------Cisse--------Ba Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Playing 3 in midfield requires having 2 really good full-backs to provide width. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest schmuck Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Aye but with Cissokho or similar at lb for natural width, I'd jizz my pants at the prospect of option A. It might only click once a season, but my word what a tonking we'd hand out. In the League Cup. To Crewe. Before going out on penalties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Everything we've seen of Cisse suggests that he's a finisher, a poacher who plays on the shoulder of the last man. How this equates to 'winger', is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Out of all our attackers, it seems Cisse is by far the most suited to the main striker role. Ba is capable of playing deeper if required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
