Parky Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We really have signed two v. good players in Mapou and Sissoko. The both read the game well and like to bomb forward when the chance presents itself. Can't help but have concerns about how that's going to fit with Pardews prominent philosophy of safety first, maintaining shape and nullifying the opposition. Might be fine if Pards realises you can have a different gameplan when in possession and out. With Sissoko in mf we'll have more control and hopefully pards will take the chains off.

He'll have to, we need to win games as draws will just see us treading water. The personnel is in place to attack, and continue to attack, teams for 90 minutes.

Attacking Villa is the way to beat them (as daft as that sounds). Sit back and we're asking for trouble as their attack is the only thing going for them. If we're one - nil up then we need to press on imo, not sit back and invite them on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely agree with that I reckon Pards will come up with some bat shit crazy formation and tactics that involve Santon, Debuchy, Colo, Taylor, Williamson, Mbiwa, Haidara, Jonas, Perch, Cabaye and Shola probably: Colo Willo Taylor Mbiwa Debuchy Haidara Santon Cabaye Perch Jonas Shola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Well according to youtube he is a fucking tank who would give Bolt a race, Ben Arfa a dribbling contest and Martins a how hard can you fit them competition.

Doesn't look too bad iyam. Got the low centre of gravity to go with his strong build too. Looks like some kind of Tevez/Martins hybrid. Jaysus ...

Cajun Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 No I was talking about Sissoko He looks a real class act and the beast of a midfielder I have been lusting for since, well that Amdy Faye was pretty class so however before him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 'MOUSSA SISSOKO - NEW NEWCASTLE UNITED SIGNING' on Youtube, done by the same guy who did the 'French Yaya Toure' video but with more clips added. Got to say that he looks f***ing great That run at 2:17 You can see the things we have been missing his season - presence in midfield (can even make out which one he is despite blurry images), strong runs from deep, proper long shots (Ba, Cisse, Tiote don't count, they're crap) and goals. Looks to be able to link up with other players as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 He's literally the ideal type of midfielder to slot into our midfield, a warrior type to go in with Cabaye. Looks like he'll leave most of the team behind with his pace though I can see him starting some blistering counter attacks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 A 4-4-2 with Cabaye and Sissoko would be such a waste of talent. Hopefully we won't go down that road again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
