TaylorJ_01 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Despite what I usually say, I fully condone the use of Ameobi for this match. It's hilarious when he scores against them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Set up like West Brom away last season and we will f***ing batter them. We would probably have about 7 more points if we set up like that all season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 it's the real start of the season, not because it's them but because it's been so stop-start, attention taken up with the transfer window, then international games, then more internationals. get these next world cup qualifiers out the way and it's back to week in/week out domestic games through to march.

Agreed. I always hate how the start of the season is always chopped up by internationals. We've only played 7 games and already into a second break.

toonpete1892 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The Pards has to sell this match to the players as much as possible. In the same way as the DVD we use to sign players? He could just send someone to the club shop and buy the 5-1 one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I always hate how the start of the season is always chopped up by internationals.

Guest SweMatt Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 For this game, I want to see: ------------------ Krul ------------------- Santon -- Saylor -- Colo -- Ferguson ---------------- Tiote ------------------- ----------- Cabaye -- Jonas ------------ ----- HBA ----------------- Ba ------------ ---------------- Cisse --------------------- Cabaye and Jonas covering behind HBA and Ba if needed. Both Santon and Ferguson can link up well to make it forward. Cisse needs to have picked up some form, otherwise I would go with Shola instead.

Fenham Mag Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 First chance for Sammy to put the ball in the mackems net. It would be beautiful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Krul Simpson Taylor Coloccini Santon Tiote Jonas HBA Cabaye Ferguson Ba Bench: Anita, Cisse, Williamson, Perch, Harper, Obertan, Ameobi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Pardew's got a tough choice over his strikers. Shola has the Indian sign over them but always looks better coming off the bench and is often poor when he starts games. Cisse meanwhile is in a dreadful run of form and looked thoroughly overawed in the game in March. My fear is that the mackems would bully him out the game and it might be a better bet giving him the last half hour. That in mind, the team that Aussiemag has suggested might not be a bad idea as the starting XI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'd play Obertan and Hatem either side of Ba for this one. No reason Shola and Cisse can't be introduced fairly early in the second half if it's not working. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That in mind, the team that Aussiemag has suggested might not be a bad idea as the starting XI. We are away from home and need to start dominating the midfield battle. Cisse is out of form and we cant afford to carry him into the most important game of the season. Ferguson has built up a sound understanding with crossing the ball to Ba in the Box. Cabaye also seems to look better in a more advanced role. Ive opted for Simpson at right back, because Im not a fan of two fullbacks bombing forward, think one needs to sit back and that player cant be Santon. Wouldnt be opposed to Perch playing there over Simpson as we all know hell get stuck in for a Derby game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 It's not a game for passengers and unfortunately Papiss has been that for every league game this season. He'll come good again but I think it may be too much of a risk to expect that in this game. Its usually too high tempo with little time fir niceties. I agree mainly with your suggested line up. My only concern is that I think it's all moot as Pards will almost certainly go with a rigid 442 with the only real decision being Shola or Cisse. FWIW, I think he'll go with the Big Sho.
