Guest bimpy474 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 On paper I'd go with this: Krul Debuchy. Mbiwa. Coloccini. Santon Sissoko. Cabaye Marveaux HBA. Cisse. Remy Taylor in for Mbiwa and that's one hell of a side. I missed when you said it before Ron but what's the thing you worry about with Colo and Mapou together ?

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Can anyone think of a loan-spell which has transformed a club, i.e. made them considerably better? Landon Donovan to Everton, always thought that made Everton much better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Even more with Mbiwa in there. The guy's tiny for a CB. Taylors like half an inch taller than Yanga-Mbiwa (Colocinni's same height as Yanga-Mbiwa). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both very vulnerable in the air, and to physically dominant players. I'd rather Mapou be Colo's eventual replacement than his partner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both very vulnerable in the air, and to physically dominant players. I'd rather Mapou be Colo's eventual replacement than his partner. Ah, yeah could be a bit of a problem. I'd like to see them together just out of curiosity. Not many teams sling crosses in nowadays, i kind of like the thought of Colo's cool play with Mapou's pace alongside him.

Ikon Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Personally i'd like to see Mapou with Colo. He's more composed in his defending and most of all he gives us recovery pace. I think he'll look stronger in every way this season as he's more prepared for what's to come. I really think they'll form a nice partnership given the chance.

Guest n4e Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Against the lesser teams and most home games i'd reaaaally like to see a front four with: Cissé Remy Marveaux Ben Arfa Has he even played LW much or is he automatically being turned in to a trend inverted forward? I've always thought of him as a through the middle striker, I have to say I'm nowhere near as convinced as everyone else that he'll be good on the wing.

Did you look at their posture rather then just the top of their heads? Taylors standing with his usual puffed out chest while Yanga-Mbiwa's leaning forward a bit. According to all official info they're 1.86m and 1.84m respectively. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'd like to see them given a go as a partnership and hope they are working together in training that way. Mapou played the position Taylor did at Montpellier and he does have a decent leap on him, I think he was just given an absolute harsh lesson towards the end of the season. Wishful thinking of course. I just don't trust Taylor one bit to stay fit or gain that consistency. Back to topic that's a brilliant starting 11 posted above (on paper).

Stifler Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 OMW - Gone from apathetic to getting pretty excited for the season..... whoooodathunkit I'd still like another 2 players, one more striker/forward, one winger who can oust Obertan and Jonas. Gomis and Thauvin/Ince Playing in the League Cup as we speak, so cup tied so out of the question. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Even if they are both small.... most teams play one striker these days so they can easily double up on said striker to make the lack of height less of a disadvantage. I want to see it given a go before ruling it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd trust official info over a analysis based on a photo where either person could simply be standing slightly differently. Official info. Mapou's tiny for a CB, it's that simple and it isn't a good idea to partner him with one of the physically (and aerially) weakest CBs in the league. It's a pointless argument anyway because Taylor and Colo are seen as our best combo by Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor's not much better than Colo for me, I wouldn't call him particularly dominant over a physically imposing player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry I didn't realise it was "that simple" I better not argue if you've decided As I said I trust measurements given for him over a dodgy comparison any day. If you have a good comparison showing this huge height difference then I'd change my mind. I've had the discussion about center backs pairings so I'm not really bothered about that.
