aussiemag Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Krul; Simpson, Steven Taylor, Coloccini ©, Santon; Ben Arfa, Anita, Cabaye, Gutierrez; Ba, Cisse 4-3-3 or 4-4-2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 It's written 4-4-2 but that could easily be the 4-3-3, guess we'll see Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Would be great if it was Jonas and Anita as holding midfielders with Cabaye pushed forward. Doubt it, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Glad to see Bigi and Amalfitano on the bench, but why no Vuckic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I think we'll see Krul, Simpson, Coloccini, S.Taylor, Santon, Gutierrez, Anita, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Cisse and Ba arranged into some sort of formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Glad to see Bigi and Amalfitano on the bench, but why no Vuckic? Bound to be injured. Doubt it, think Pardew still think he's got parts of his game that he needs to work on, personally i'd rather see him there than Gosling tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Open_C Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 4-4-2 inevitably switching to a 4-3-3 after a lacklustre first half Just lulls folk into a false sense of security, the first half 4-4-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 The 442 is a myth. We play 4 defenders, 2 central midfielders who remain disciplined while the remainder of the team switch between various roles over the course of the match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 loads of Villa fans down the quayside earlier. 2 were wearing coats. I know its meant to be cold up north and all that but ffs look at the weather man! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabaye shouldn't have to be disciplined though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Not a great deal of experience in that defence. Bannan is a cracking little player, though. Anita will need to keep a close eye on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
