AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Not seen anything to suggest he's suited to a wide position, even in a narrow formation. Smells very strongly of Pardew simply being unable to fit everyone in. Totally agree, he's just not that player at all. We absolutely have to go 4-3-3.

Pilko Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I wouldn't mind if he'd tried it once but this is one of a few times he's put Sissoko on the right now and he's about as suited there as Shola is ffs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Icke - Son of God Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Pardew wont drop Tiote or Jonas or go back to 433, so we're stuck with this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Pardew wont drop Tiote or Jonas or go back to 433, so we're stuck with this. It's baffling that he can't see it, it's so clear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It's just Sissoko's turn. First it was Cisse and next it'll be some other poor sod. Probably Tiote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It's just Sissoko's turn. First it was Cisse and next it'll be some other poor sod. Probably Tiote. I'd genuinely prefer Obertan to play wide right instead of Sissoko. Criminal waste of Moussa's talent. Worst thing about all this is it's all because he's trying to push Ben Arfa into a No.10 role where he's never looked comfortable. Ben Arfa on form is one of the best right wingers in the league FFS!

Theregulars Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Is not a f***ing winger! Nor is Pardew a fucking Premier League manager! I think the two may be correlated. Somehow. Maybe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to wonder if we'd be better off with Kinnear. It's splitting hairs as to which one I hate most atm. At least Kinnear has the comedy value.

Stuy_O Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Immensely baffling Pardew still puts him out there. We need to go back to 4-3-3 imo with Tiote the deepest and Cabaye & Sissoko just in front centrally. An additional plus would surely see the dropping of Jonas but thats perhaps wishful thinking.

madras Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Is not a f***ing winger! was he hemmed rigid to the wing or was there an idea he could come inside, switch with ben arfa and debuchy coming outside ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes it even more baffling that Sissoko was playing in the middle when he was signed and it was working pretty well. And Hatem has always worked on the right. There's plenty of things he could change that arent working, instead he changes the one thing that does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Is not a f***ing winger! was he hemmed rigid to the wing or was there an idea he could come inside, switch with ben arfa and debuchy coming outside ? In theory, as long as Sissoko is allowed some freedom on the right and can come inside where he's more familiar, you would have thought he could dovetail quite nicely with Debuchy. It hasn't worked very well for us so far though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Sissoko was terrible at AM apart from 3 tremendous games early doors. He's more a wide man than an AM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep he's a central midfielder who should be given license to get forward imo. I like the Yaya Toure comparisons, obviously he isn't close to being of that ability but him playing more box to box then having the odd surging run as legs get tired sounds ideal.
