Newcastle 2 - 1 Spurs - 18/08/12 - post-match jubilation from page 35


Recommended Posts

We look like a team that is trying to use 4 midfielders, only one of whom is 100% fit, to deal with 5 who are.  And we look like a team that hasn't really played together much in the preseason.

 

Cabaye won't be on much past 60 minutes, and Tiote might not either.  Both look nowhere near their best.

 

Williamson on and Perch moving forward??

Got stick earlier for saying 4-4-2 doesn't create enough for us, its only my opinion like. I just think we play better football with 3 central.

Pards is quite clearly playing 4-4-2 for Ba, it is the only reason.

 

Ridiculous if its the case, the team come first whatever the formation.

 

Prollly waiting for him to get on some scoring run centrally before slotting him back left in the 4-3-3 once he can score from anywhere. :yao:

Similar to some games last season where we struggled to impose against a 5 man midfield. It's all very well having two strikers but if we let them boss the middle then we aren't going to get them in the game.

We've just brought in a deep lying midfielder who sets up play from the back really well, and so should allow us to set up quite beautifully with Cabaye further forward, and we persist with this? Because Demba wants to play upfront? Unacceptable.

He can play in a 3 up top, he doesn't have to play wide, let all three interchange, English teams are so rigid its daft.

If everyone was fit, I'd say it's crying out for the 4-2-1-3 thing with Anita coming on for Jonas.  But everyone's not fit, so Anita and Gosling will likely be on for Cabaye and Tiote.  Good shout about Perch moving up and Willo coming on, too.  That could well happen.
