AlanSkÃrare Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Mulumbu can boss our midfield, we have to play three in the middle. I think I want to see: Krul Anita Taylor Coloccini Santon Perch Jonas Cabaye Ben Arfa Ba Sammy/Obertan/Ferguson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Counter attacking fast football upfront with a solid base behind them: --------------------Krul------------------ Simpson-----Saylor-----Colo----Santon ----Cabaye----Perch----Jonas----- HBA-------------Ba-------------*Fergie or Oberton* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We have to win this, we cant lose anymore ground at this stage of the season. Tough game though, West Brom have been in great form. Lose ground on who? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Looking forward to seeing Claudio Yacob play being the sad cunt that I am. Need an early goal in this one as I think we'll struggle against they're midfield 3 otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Bit of a bogey side for us in recent years, save for the away performance last year. Think it'll be a draw. 2-2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Last season was one of Ben Arfa's finest games for us, absolutely demolished them on the break, hope he can replicate Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
durhamunigeordie Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Not really sure how we will line up at all. Just hope that we start with 3 in the middle. Shola shouldn't really be starting either. Ba up top with Hatem and Obertan/Ferguson/Sammy off him would be preferable. I'd quite like to see: Krul; Santon, Taylor, Colo, Ferguson; Anita, Jonas, Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Cisse, Ba. But don't think in reality it will be anywhere near that side.

Skeletor Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We've drawn too many games so far. We must win this and get into some form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We have to win this, we cant lose anymore ground at this stage of the season. Tough game though, West Brom have been in great form. Lose ground on who? Everton are 5 points ahead of us already..... anyway what i think we will see ( also a bit of hope too) Krul Simpson Saylor Colo Santon Ben Arfa Perch Cabaye Ferguson Ba Cisse Would prefer to see 3 in the middle but can't see that tbh.

Skeletor Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Would like to see the same team that dicked them last season but with Bigi in for Tiote and Taylor in for Williamson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 A win here could really see us kick on and bring some confidence into the next few games when we have lots of really winnable fixtures. If Pardew could just find a formula that we comfortable with I'd be so happy. In the EL 4-3-3 has given such a stable impression, we are so much calmer on the ball. Hope it translates into the game on Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexf Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Really do think Cisse will be on the bench again having played 90mins last night. Not sure if it will be Shola in a 4-4-2 or obertan/sammy/ferguson in a 4-3-3 but can't see Cisse having earnt a start last night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Cissé faces a fight to get back in the team regardless of what system we play. Ba would definately be 1st choice even i 4-3-3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 If Cisse's still out of the picture I'd still like to see us go 4-3-3 with either Obertan/Sammy/Ferguson alongside Ben Arfa and Ba. We really need to see Ben Arfa further up the pitch, especially in home games like this. He's not effective enough at the moment in a 4-4-2 because he simply gets the ball too deep. Let him get the ball in the final 3rd of the pitch and I think he'd score at least 10 goals in that formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Am I really the only one that thinks Bigi should start? What do you think he can bring starting ahead of Perch, who in my mind is Tiote's obvious replacement in a holding role? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's only gonna get better. Well imo Perch won't have to make up any ground, as he reads the game quite well. He'll suss out their attack, make the tackle and pass it on. He's not as combative as Bigi in style, but his calmness in midfield could be just what the doctor ordered against a team who move the ball at a high tempo.
