Skeletor Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I don't think Sandro will feature as he might need a rest after the Olympics. Otherwise yeah that team with someone else beside Livermore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 So how do we think the other lot will line up? Freidel Walker Vertonghen Gallas BAE Parker Sandro Lennon Sigurdsson/Van der Vaart Bale Defoe Perhaps. Parker is injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 http://insiden17.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/are-we-ready.html With Kaboul being still somewhat of a liability and Vertonghen being new blood there is probably scope to play fairly direct. Fairly soft centre too, going to be dangerous down the wings though. Especially if the worlds worst ever full back who makes my eyes and nose bleed piss everytime I see him is playing.

The Prophet Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Without Sandro/Parker they're there to be bullied in midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 It's clear that we're not yet ready, but which side completely is for their first game? Exactly, people love to have a go at NUFC staff for the 'wrong' preparations to the new season but it is very difficult this season for a number of reasons. People just need to chill the fuck out.

Ronaldo Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Poor Jonas. With Anita arriving, Marveaux fit and firing and Obertan single-handedly annihilating Hartlepool he doesn't have a hope in hell of getting a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Anita arriving, Marveaux fit and firing and Obertan single-handedly annihilating Hartlepool he doesn't have a hope in hell of getting a game. We'll see, I think he'll be starting the majority of games. Likewise. I think he'll still be first choice regardless of whether we get Anita over the line (and play 433/4231). No issues with that either. If it's ever 442 i'm coming round to the idea of it being Marveaux ahead of him. I can see him having a more consistent end product, plus his first touch is better.

AlanSkÃrare Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Jonas cover for his fullback is irreplacable and will be important in so many games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Anita arriving, Marveaux fit and firing and Obertan single-handedly annihilating Hartlepool he doesn't have a hope in hell of getting a game. still think and HOPE (coz i really like jonas) that he will be involved alot. probably off the bench...getting hard to see him as a starting player when everybody is fit. but he offers so much both defensive and attacking. Should get alot of time on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Jonas will play 30+ games this season if he stays fit. Very confident of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Anyone think we might play Jonas at full back more often if we've got 2 defensive midfielders to cover the defence? Krul/Santon-Taylor-Coloccini-Jonas/Anita-Tiote-Cabaye/Ben Arfa-Cisse-Ba looks pretty tasty to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get Debuchy then that'd be our best bet imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 So people reckon Jonas is a better full back than Simpson? I'm not sure myself. Don't really think so either, Jonas looked poor in that position against Liverpool even though we won comfortably, although he's mile better technically. I'm pretty confident we will get a fullback in before the deadline anyways, Debuchy or not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyeyzzon Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The Simpson hate is understandable but to now suggest Jonas would be a better fullback is ridiculous IMO. He was bummed by Bellers against Liverpool last time out iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
