Kanj Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Play him next to Yohan from this point on man. Marv behind Cisse and Gouff and Hatem out wide. Let the 3 of them interchange behind Cisse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Needs to be played in a box-to-box role, not as an 'out' to be launched up to behind the striker. Would look much better in a team with better attacking strategy, fluidity and movement. This. He's not a false 9 or even an attacking midfielder. His best play at Toulouse came when he could play smack in the middle of the park, linking up between a stiff holding midfielder (Capoue) and the attack.

Skirge Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Play him in CM he will do the rest, you don't need to tell him to get back and help the defence or get forward and support the attack its his natural game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I said in January that the absolute worst thing we could do was let Pardew put his negative ideology into the new lads. Surprise surprise, the French internationals all look shot to bits three months later like they've never seen a ball before. But at least Pardew got a "chance" to work with them.

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 He needs to be dropped back, but not into a midfield 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 He needs to be dropped back, but not into a midfield 2. Ideally, imo: Sissoko Cabaye Marveaux Ben Arfa Gouffran Cisse That should be a devastating front-6 on their best day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanSkÃrare Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Horrible performane, gradually getting worse. The reason we might stay up is because this lad basically won us a few games before he was drilled into Pardewism. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Just runs and runs, offers fuck all else. Central Obertan with strength, has been like this since his 3rd game for us. Agree with Wullie, Pardew has ruined him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Playing him off Cisse isn't working and hasn't for the last 6 games or so. Wonder when shit for brains will catch on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't worked since Chelsea tbh, quite clearly not his game. Pardew thinks that just because he's big and quick, that's enough to do a job up front. It's football from the dark ages.

Worked alright in the first half, I thought. Pardew just needs to stop taking his touches for him, and making his passes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central midfield coming on to the ball is the best position imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lack of movement isn't helping either, like you said in the match thread he gets the ball and everyone just runs away from him so he just ends up running full pelt into a defender.

It bizarre they way we run away from the player on the ball, it takes away one two's, it stops us pulling their CB's out. It's just so poor, i just sit there shaking my head all the time.

It's so obvious we're trying to wing our attacking play, it goes from one extreme to another too.. there's times where our players are standing on each others toes when in possession in like one corner of the pitch so we just end up hoofing it to cisse. It's embarrassing and i find myself in envy of teams like Southampton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always about how we play for me, and we play turgid, ridiculously bad football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 He was always going to find it hard to reproduce the Chelsea performance and to keep alive the huge hype that created. Sadly though he has not been anywhere near the level he showed in that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
