This has me really worried for next week Miles Starforth @milesstarforth According to #nufc, Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Cisse and Ba have stayed behind on Tyneside to 'work on their fitness'. All should be fit for #thfc. Chillax Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Of course it's normal to be a bit worried when your 4 best offensiv players are not playing the week before our first league game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Flash Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Isn't the whole point of friendlies to work on fitness? Completely worthless if we're mainly playing squad players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 It's also to judge how good players are in a more competitive environment. Club reckon that Cabaye's fitness is better served at the club than at the game, if they're confident they'll be ok for Spurs then I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Is worrying I agree for match sharpness but they're great players, Cabaye always gives his all, should be alright. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Isn't the whole point of friendlies to work on fitness? Completely worthless if we're mainly playing squad players. Tbf, there's a high chance that the 4 playing today will be playing in the Europa League in a week and a half so it's just as important to have them match-fit and sharp.

joeyt Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Lets stop focusing on the negatives and look at the postives: Marveaux Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I´m not really worried about our "big guns". But what is worrying me is that we haven ´t improved one bit. Simpson is still holding down the rb. Raylor is still basically first reserv too our midfields option. Jonas is still playing wide. Obertan is playing all the time, and if our Africans are away we have fucking Shola as our striker. Goodness me.. Give it a rest man. You've not stopped moaning all pre-season.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Pretty concerning line up. Today should have been about starting our strongest XI. Instead we have our four most potent players all not involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Obertan has been not awful every time he's played behind the striker, seems better central than out wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 To be fair to the important players who have been left behind for fitness, they played with the majority of our squad last season, I don't think they really need to 'gel' as such. If they're not quite fit or are tired following the Euros or having the ACN last season and potentially this season then so be it. Gives the youth and backups a chance ahead of an important season for them what with rotation likely to play a much bigger part this time around.
