Dave Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Dunno why we're persisting with Perch and Anita in those positions when they're clearly better the other way around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 It's 4-4-2. It's not that much about the system, though. If all of our players finally turn up again than it doesn't matter. It'll always be some case of 4-3-3 anyway with Ben Arfa in the side and the way he pushes up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I think the idea is to keep the defensive unit from the last game the same, clean sheet and that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Dunno why we're persisting with Perch and Anita in those positions when they're clearly better the other way around. Definitely, though this is the sort of game which will be ideal for Anita's development and adjusting to this league so we might be thinking play him in the middle with the view to him seeing more of the ball and hopefully being able to stamp his authority on the game. Would do wonders for his confidence in his preferred role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Gives Anita another chance to prove himself at CM I suppose. It's not him I'm worried about. Perch has rarely looked anything other than absolutely hopeless at right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 What I expected. Always going to be hard for a midfield with the size of Cabaye and Anita to impose themselves. We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theregulars Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Anita was told he was purchased primarily as a CM, wasn't he? Thought it was a key part to the move. Got to follow through, I suppose. Shame as Perch was boss on Monday when he moved there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Haven't been impressed with Anita at CM yet. Seems lightweight and a little lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Haven't been impressed with Anita at CM yet. Seems lightweight and a little lost. He was great at RB on Monday, significantly reduced our threat down the left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to follow through, I suppose. Shame as Perch was boss on Monday when he moved there. He hasn't performed aswell in CM and he has at RB and vice versa with Perch. If this is the reasoning behind playing them there i'd be abit pissed off. Long term he might be a CM but at the minute he's not up to the pace to play CM so he should be bedded in at RB to get used to the pace of the league.

Din't disagree with you mate, just hazarding a guess that this may be the reason. Maybe Pardew is happy to give it a half and see how he gets on, if it's not up to scratch change round accordingly.

Ha i hadn't meant that to come across like I was having a go. Just thats my thoughts on the situation. Hope im proved wrong and Anita has a stormer, we'll see.

Not really, evidence from our most recent game suggests that playing them that way round is more likely to result in a better performance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, but I'm pretty sure we didn't pay 7m to play Anita as a full back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
