Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Anita Wijndalum Sissoko de Jong Aarons Cisse/Mitrovic Looks smart. I think De Jong, Wijnaldum and Perez could well all hold that middle of the 3 role during the season and all bring different things to it. Fwiw I'm not a fan of Perez on the side, he's just so good centrally when he's on his game. He's not experienced enough or strong enough to lead the line alone and so he has to be supporting the main striker when he plays, for me. Some good options for behind the striker, just has to get it right around him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest n4e Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Anita Wijndalum Sissoko de Jong Aarons Cisse/Mitrovic Yup, but I'm really thinking Perez is better suited for a style of play. Although I'm a massive fan of De Jong, mind you. I think he's an absolutely deadly footballer when on form -- I just think Perez's silky smooth style, technical ability and goal threat (with far better pace than Siem) is what we need in that role. This is where I'm at at as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't mind between Anita and Colback (may well be one at home, the other away though if we could get someone like an Alex Song) and do think longer term Wijndalum will drop into that "2" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 De Jong looks completely out of place and out of sync with the rest of the team at the moment imo. Seems slow and ponderous when everyone else bar Colback has decent pace and can cover the ground. Mitrovic is also going to be fairly slow and ponderous, having two of them in the attacking spots is suicidal tbh. For me use that lineup from Ron but with Perez instead of De Jong and you're there. If the system develops as it should then integrate De Jong into it but for now he's only going up hold us back in developing a quick attacking game.

I think everyone on here wants to see Ayoze because he has the ability to change games with his trickery and vision as well as having an eye for goal and based upn last seasons efforts. We all know de jong should be reaching a level where he contributes " a la Nolan" to the team but he isn't there yet. Do we sacrifice the progress made by Ayoze to wait on DJ coming good or start him now... to be or not to be??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Anita's back in training. Cabella too. Dummett hamstring set back. http://talksport.com/football/newcastle-boost-anita-back-training-following-miraculous-recovery-150813162635 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Wonder if McClaren is considering putting one of the midfield two at left-back to help accommodate one of De Jong/Perez/Aarons until Dummett is back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I wouldn't normally but I don't think Haidara is showing enough, these can fill in a few games and have done 'a job' there, plus if it means we excel in those games with one of the attacking three in, he might be more tempted to sacrifice one of them once Dummett is back.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Yeah but to be frank both Anita and Colback are even worse there, i have been very vocal about Anita and Colback together and how i don't want it to continue but i don't want either one at LB either.

It's been one match and he's coming off a knee injury that kept him out the final three months of last season. Let the kid play for once, give him a run of matches to actually see what he's about. At least until he crocks himself again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'd give Haidara a couple more games to show he can step up before writing him off, he's looked good in the past albeit inconsistent. If he doesn't take this chance, probably best just to look elsewhere. He's been here long enough now to know what it's all about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I was a Santon fan but he was perfectly capable of quite a few defensive horrorshows so I'm not quite on board with thinking our problems would be solved if we'd kept him. I don't mind Anita at full back as much as Colback but it's still less than ideal, he did seem to do the basic defending duty better but he'd still probably get ripped a new one by a proper winger which a dedicated full back should be better.

It was more due to being out of position than what Haidara displayed though, don't recall Santon allowing shit tonnes of crosses and being beaten 1 v 1 repeatedly.
