The College Dropout Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 He, Siss, Tiote will be a nightmare. Honestly the best we can without Cabaye and no signings is Anita-Sissoko-Marveaux. Its not ideal but it will do. Nah Anita can't compete physically in this division. Unless Bigi can make the step up, I'm really not optimistic about the midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita at least offers something to the team in possession. As I said not ideal but it will do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siss offers something with his running in midfield but that's it. Crap passing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Sissoko and Anita side by side and infront of Tiote with hba out wide right and Marv on the left paying to Gomis would work well IMO. Goof to come in for either wide place or if we want more upfront take off one of the three in central mid and bring on Cisse. Play that, and only slight variations of that and we might see the team settle. ATM it's all over the shop, it's embarrassing. Gomis Marv. Hba Siss. Anita Tiote Tell Tiote he's not allowed past either siss or Anita, ever, or he'll be fined. Is there a reason you left out Remy? Or just saying if we sign Gomis now and Remy is still out with his injury? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just saying if we sign Gomis now and Remy is still out with his injury? Right now yes but Remy comes in for HBa who moves across to the left, some rotation as I doubt the fitness of HBA, Goof, Marv & Remy, between all 4 they'll be able to manage 90mins without fading. Should HBA be unavailable for big parts of the season Remy should slot in nicely there. Still think Ince or sinclair over on the left would top it all off. That's a lot of decent pace and creativity down the flanks, playing to a focal point (Gomis) and hopefully Cisse can rotate and offer a bit more on the ground when it starts working.

binnsy Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 still can't see how Anita is so highly rated on here, yes you could say he hasn't had a proper chance but even in his appearances he has looked woeful and far too small and lightweight to play centre mid in the premier league. For a club which is running on such a tight budget spunking away six million on him has been terrible business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I think he's a good footballer, but we just never should have bought the ad in the first place. Now he's here, he's worth at least trying. We already know Tiote is shit.

triggs Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 His size shouldn't be an issue at all. Are ye telling me Xavi and Iniesta wouldn't do a job in the premier league?

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Anita is quality man. Ball. Pass. Move. Repeat.

Yep, he plays in triangles as well but we're really not used to it. As a cm partnership in 4-4-2 with sissoko I'm terrified mind, gap between them and the defence is there to be exploited. Fully expect allardyce to do so as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
