Jack Flash Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 If Pardew puts out a blatantly weakened team against these then he needs shooting. According to .com we only have 1 decent injured player (R.Taylor) and have just bought 4 apparently very good players to boost the squad. If we can't manage to play well in 2 games in 4 days with a full squad of mostly good players then how are we ever going to win anything? I can already hear his excuses on Sunday if we don't win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonpete1892 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'll be fuming if we hoy the game on Thursday. As will the 400+ of us making the 4000 mile round trip to the outer most edge of the World Ukraine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil K Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'll be fuming if we hoy the game on Thursday. If the officials are as bad against us (I suspect they will be WORSE) as the first game, I expect no good to come of it. They've proved to be typical south Americans with their diving and rolling about, and even at Newcastle, the ref and linesmen fell for it 95% of the time. They WON'T be so quick to rule out any Metallist goals for dubious offside decisions, thats for damn sure. As Han Solo said..."I have a bad feeling about this...."

STM Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Gouffran and Ben Arfa are expected back for Southamton aye? That gives us some flexibilty with the the squad. Pardew won't do the same team but I'd go; Krul Mbiwa Colo Taylor Haidara Tiote Sissoko Marveaux Cabaye Jonas Cisse I prefer Cabaye further forward than Sissoko.

bowlingcrofty Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'd go. Krul Simpson Yanga-Mbiwa Colo Santon Cabaye Anita Sissoko Marveaux Obertan Cisse ...with Tiote, Gouffran, Debuchy, Taylor and HBA or Jonas coming in for the Southampton game.

Pilko Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'd play Jonas in this in the hope that he'd not be able to feature vs Southampton, cos we really could do with him missing that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikejaxer Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Mbiwa Saylor Colo Santon. Cabaye Anita Jonas Sissoko Goof/Obertan Cissé Is what I think he'll play. Tiote, Ben Arfa, Debuchy and Marvellous on the bench if things go wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'd go full strength and hope that having Ben Arfa, Gouffran and Debuchy to add on Sunday would be enough for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I'd go.

Pilko Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 IMO the best solution would be: Kharkiv: Krul Simpson Colo Yanga-Mbwia Haidara Tiote Cabaye Sissoko Marveaux Gutierrez Cisse Subs: Perch or Obertan for Cabaye (70), Shola for Cisse (70), a/nother for whoever looks most tired/ineffective. Southampton: Krul Debuchy Colo Taylor Santon Anita Cabaye Gouffran Sissoko Marveaux (HBA if fit) Cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Good, defense is one of the few positions you can't muck about with. By all means rotate a few players here and there but in defense i think its smart to stick with what we had in last game. Also defense is hardly a position where players tire so we could probably get away with them playing consistently in Pardew's eyes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
