Mathieu Debuchy

[Skirge]

He could play Vurn but that would be crazy, he could swap Santon to RB and put Dummitt at LB (would be my choice) but he will move MYM to RB and put Colo back in splitting our in form CB pairing.

Shame to split up the back four and lose Debuchy while he's playing so well but surely Norwich is as good a time as any to have to make a change. Plus they have two weeks to sort it out in training.

[Lotus]

Play Colo at right back.

Love a Bimpy gif 

 

I laughed too much at that.

[Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast]

It's a bit of a headache this one. I don't think we should change the CB pairing which has worked wonders. The ideal swap would be Anita in  for Debuchy, but against a team that is strong in the air and will be reliant on setpieces to score, it may backfire if they target him with longballs. So either Dummett at RB or Santon at RB and Haidara/Dummett at LB

[Jesse Pinkman]

For me the sensible option is Santon right and Dummet left, but knowing Pardews love of playing players out of position nothing will surprise me.

[Ikon]

One of my favourite players atm.

[BrettNUFC]

I'd play Anita right back, especially since we are at home. Been decent there in the past for us and he deserves to be playing.

[Optimistic Nut]

As much as Williamson has done well, he's not going to be first choice all season. This is the ideal game to get Coloccini back in, play Mbiwa right-back, then for West Brom get us back to full strength when Debuchy is back. Like with Tiote, he's been fine in these games where we've been under the cosh a bit and he can just clear his lines, but from WBA I'd like to think we'll start playing a bit better quality of football.

[Kanji]

I'm almost upset that he's out for the next match; we'll absolutely miss his battling style.

[Guest Haris Vuckic]

 

I'd play Anita at right back - which is where he played when he won his caps for Holland.

This option would include playing Santon out of position, tbf. It might be the only option though.

[The College Dropout]

i'd have Anita in there. Keep the rest the same.

I wouldn't. No one really deserves to be dropped after wins against Chelsea and Spurs, but imo the same starting eleven is more suited to counter attacking than breaking teams down like we'll have to do against Norwich if we wanna make it easier to win.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Debuchy wouldn't be being dropped. He's banned for the Norwich match.

 

Anita is an option but height is an issue.

[Dr Colossus]

Situations like this are why it's good we managed to keep Simps- fuck

 

Never mind, we could just play Perch th- fuck

I know he's banned.

I'm confused. How can we have the same starting XI then?

We wont! My reply was aimed at TCD's "keep the rest the same", which i wouldn't want us to.

 

I understand that i didn't make it very clear. I agree with the Anita bit.

Redmond isn't much taller, could be an issue from set pieces though I agree.

Ah right aye, sorry. Resume ignoring me.

[Ikon]

I could have said it better though

[Kanji]

I really do want Anita back there, but I think we forget how many headers Debuchy wins in a match from his right back position.

He is amazing in the air, will miss that no matter who replaces him.

At half-time we could drop Anita at CM, take Tiote off... play HBA, Cisse whatever. I'd wait for it to stutter before changing. We make too many changes and concede 2 in the first half and we'll be back to square one.

I'd start HBA.
