Something like that, sorry it's the best I could come up with. I just don't see the point in playing Cisse, he's nowhere at the moment. Marveaux has a little bit of quality and Sammy seems to be our only other option really? Ahead of Obershite I'd say.

 

Nailed on defeat, christ they'll be smelling blood for this one like a hyena sniffs out a wounded infant gazelle on the serengeti,  :lol:

May as well throw this one in if we're going to talk about formations that will never happen. Picked Cisse ahead of Ba because he has been slightly less selfish.

I can see Pardew reverting to the 4-3-3 with Ba wide under all this pressure.

 

I frickin hope so, best option at moment would be to revert to that / play a 5 man midfield and try and be solid and grind out results

Is what I'd like to see, just freshen it up with something different using better, calmer footballers (Amalfitano and Marveaux over Fergie and Sammy).

Thing is, on paper that's a very decent team. No reason why it shouldn't pick up regular results in the PL.

 

Agree that we need some tidier footballers who can play us out of pressure situations.

We reverted to it for the last 20 minutes of the game yesterday, which is irritating as it suggests Pardew knows we can play it.

 

Krul

 

Simpson - Williamson - Coloccini - Santon

 

Perch - Tiote

Anita

 

Marveaux - Cisse - Ba

 

Anita played his best football yesterday when pushed further forward in the Cabaye role. He's a good passer of the ball if not a yard or two off the pace of the Premier League, so he should at least be able to put a few neat moves together. Perch is a beast in centre midfield, so I'd have him in alongside Tiote if he's fit.

 

If we play like we have against Stoke (442, humping it long) we'll get soundly beaten.

That team would at least give bottom half opposition some problems, if they were played to their strengths. Useless having tidy footballers if you're going to play like Stoke. The ironic thing is, we can play the direct game but we're so dependant on it now, it's utterly predictable. We really, really need to mix it up and get people moving about a bit.

I'm fearful for this one. Hopefully Colo will steady the sinking ship (he himself holed under the waterline with his stupidity)

 

I'd go a definite 4-5-1 and shore things up. Start out by looking not to lose. The run of defeats have to stop.

 

Me too. Cisse up front, Ba has to be dropped imo.

I had this down as a 1-1 at the start of the season. I now think it'll be a 2-0 or 2-1 to Stoke and we'll serve up the same shit and expect it to work.

Struggling to imagine how utterly shit a spectacle this is going to be.

 

Don't fancy us to beat any other team in the league the way we're playing and Stoke will be rubbing their hands at the prospect. Another defeat without scoring I reckon.

In a way I'm pleased this has come around so soon, at least it's a tiny chance to make things better.

 

The last thing we need is games coming thick and fast imo.  No time to get onto the training pitch to sort things out.
