Flip Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If we are to even have a slight chance of winning this today, Shola needs a good day, but most importantly our left-flank will need a top performance from Jonas and Davide Santon to keep Valencia quiet and hit them on the counter.

TRon Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Barring Shola playing, I'm reasonably happy with that side. So am I because I've given up all delusions that we are attempting to play passing football. At least this is a team which is designed for it's purpose. Hump it high and give the Manc cb's a good battering. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 clear plan is hoof it up to the big man. May work, but I'd rather Ryan Taylor on wing to hoof it to someones head and Ben Arfa to attack on the other. Don't think shola will do much tbh (hopefully proved wrong) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 We have a strong right hand side situation in the same way Heather Mills has. My attempt at a positive spin there folks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hoofing hell, Shola up top. If we insist on pumping it long, at least play Best. At least he will put a shift in for 60 minutes instead of 5 minutes. Their team looks weakened, but we will still get beat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interpolic Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Pardew's went from not wanting to change a winning side to making a lot of strange changes that nobody else in their right mind would. The Ben Arfa situation's getting more ridiculous every week. Well that's because we're a losing side Erm well yeah, I have been following it. I think most people expected us to have to falter and/or get injuries for Ben Arfa to get a fair crack of the whip, yet it's still not happening.

Beren Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 21:15 The Magpies haven't posed much of an attacking threat since going a goal down just after the break. So the silver-haired Pardew shuffles his pack for the first time and brings off the impressive youngster Santon for the more attacking Obertan. Ryan Taylor will presumably revert back to left back for the remainder of the match as here come Man Utd again... 21:22 Ben Arfa was warming up, but it's Sammy Ameobi who will be coming on for his older brother Shola - to try and get something for the Geordie faithful. 21:45 We're deep into stoppage time now. Man Utd will be keeping the pace on Man City if they can just hold this one-goal lead. Newcastle can barely get the ball, mind you, with so many tired legs out there. They've put in a real shift. Pardew opts to bring on Nicky Butt ahead of Ben Arfa for these final few seconds. The substitute Obertan the man to be replaced. 21:46 Full-time: Newcastle United 0-5 Manchester United Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
