littlelunchbox Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Marv has played as a left winger for most of his time in France, yet Pardew never plays him there. Our manager is a strange one. probably another economical signing much like gosling, sign for free and sell for a half a million or so. still money to be had there.

Jagten Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 We are playing a dysfunctional strike pairing and will allow them to outnumber us in midfield. That line-up is not fine. So we drop Cisse then? With Ben Arfa and Cabaye out this is one of the rare occasions I'm actually glad to see a 4-4-2 No, we put Ba on the wing. And who goes on the other wing? Marveaux. Has he looked a winger in the games he's played like? He looks more of a creative midfielder and certainly not the kind who could terrorise a full back. It's the best available solution. No it's not, it's sticking square pegs in round holes for the sake of playing 4-3-3. And what we're about to do isn't? We're going to be outnumbered in midfield and incapable of retaining possession. To combat this we will regularly bypass the midfield by hoofing it to Ba and Cisse. Neither are competent target men - and this will not work. Not to mention there will be no support from a midfield that is excessivly defensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 who is on corner duty today? Fergie I think. Should probably let Williamson take them, at least then he can't lose any headers in the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still dont make any sense not playing the lad is his best position. Pardew is testing my faith thats for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malandro Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 If Jonas is on the right and Ferguson on the left of a midfield four the idea must be to try and get quality crosses into the front two quickly, with the the other wide player getting in on the back post. It's an old fashioned approach but in the absence of our three best passers not a terrible idea. Whether it will work.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay man, the best solution is obviously to disregard any idea of creativity and hoof the ball at Ba and Cisse's heads. Problem with that is they both go for they same hoofed ball and the opposition pick up the second ball with ease. Don't think I've ever seen Ba win the header and Cisse peeling away a la Carroll and Nolan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Good enough side to win this game, simple as that. Over to you, lads. This pretty much. 4-4-2, 4-3-3, hoof ball, slick passing game...we should still beat these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 With our current tactics Cisse may as well not be on the pitch, him and ba can't play together at the moment and it hurts us to play them both upfront. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
