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.

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.

 

Like this.

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.

Give a tramp a ferrari and all that.

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.

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.

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.

It did tbf today, but Sissoko isn't on the ball enough for me. Central midfield coming on to the ball is the best position imo.
