Pilko Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Still expect us to win, but it can't be disputed that on the face of it we're lining up strangely. If we fail to get three points questions will rightly be asked. Questions will be asked if we don't win, full stop. Our performances and results have been poor lately, so Pardew seems to be trying something different. Seems daft how everyone is pissing their pants over the lineup. Keegan's 4312 looked weird when he first changed us to that after some dire form, that worked wonders in the short term. Have some faith! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Really hope Ben Arfa has a strong performance if he's been giving that role behind the front two. Really want to see him become a certainty in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Fuck i hope it's 4-4-2. Got next to no hope of us combating Norwich's percentage football with a midfield of Perch, Guthrie and an out-of-form YoCabs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Looking like we're starting a midfielder at left back, a utility defender in midfield and a central midfielder on the left wing. And some are amazed it's being questioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some are amazed it's being questioned. Jonas has pretty much been playing left back the last few games. Perch played in midfield at Forest, just as much as he did in defence. If we are playing a diamond, the left side of a diamond is not the left wing. Let's see what the lineup is once the game starts, negative Nancy.

At home to Norwich, i'd hope it would be the other way round. But then i saw the Wolves and Mackems games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Well I hope he surprises us. 4-3-3 with Barca like football. Perch can be Busquets, Guthrie is Iniesta and Cabaye Xavi. Play some lovely passing football and win 5-0. In reality it's going to be some lopsided 4-4-2, with players out of position all over the shop. Reminds me a bit of Stoke away and Everton home last season. Really strange changes from AP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 If it's 442 then Perch would surely be at left back. I would think its the team we ended the game with at Arsenal but with Cisse instead of Shola, i would be amazed if its a 4-3-3 or 4-3-1-2 or anything else for that matter.

And some are amazed it's being questioned. IF that is where they play, then to be fair Guti has effectively been not far from a left back all season, and it'd take some convincing to make me think that Perch has been a better utility defender than a defensive midfielder for us.
