Guest tobiazvanderziaz Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 At last we have a chance to see Debuchy and HBA together! Think about how HBA only have played with Simpson in his Newcastle career so far.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Hopefully we can knuckle down and put in another assured and dominating performance as this fixture last season, which was probably one of my favourite games of the season 3-0 but very, very easily could have been 4 or 5.

Aye. We're playing 4-2-3-1, not 4-3-3. Elliot Debuchy - Saylor - Mbiwa - Santon Tiote - Cabaye Jonas - Sissoko - Gouffran Cisse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 HBA involved in any form on sunday is a bonus. He'll probably get half an hour and might be needed to open things up if god forbid it's a tight, frustrating game. I'd bank on Cabaye, Sissoko and Gouffran causing them enough problems though.

themanupstairs Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Absolutely no reason not to play Ben Arfa from the start like. If there's been no reaction to his injury, we should give ourselves the best start possible and bring him off at 60 minutes if he tires. Taking the risk of bringing him on at 0-0 after 70 minutes is madness tbh. The kind of pressure we (and he) don't need at home when 3 points would all but guarantee our safety.

The fact Gouffran and Jonas are "fresh" and Ben Arfa didn't look anywhere near sharp on Thurs will probably mean he will get 20 mins tomorrow and start on Thurs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Not sure about that, he played 60 minutes on Thursday, I don't think it was be too safety first if we choose not to start him Sunday considering how long he was out for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest expat in the pool Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 the best way to get him up to speed is to play him from the start. at home against stoke has got to be less risky than most other games, lets start him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I'd have him back on the bench but look to give him a good half an hour, especially if we're trailing/drawing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think we'd dominate the possession, and the opposition would be doing most of the running. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Last few games Pardew's done well against these. The two games last season were pretty much the perfect home and away performances, and I think we played well enough there this season to have at least got a draw.

Guest Spiria Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 If Cisse can't make it for Sunday, and Ben Arfa can, why not make Gouffran play as a forward and insert Benny on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 If Cisse can't make it for Sunday, and Ben Arfa can, why not make Gouffran play as a forward and insert Benny on the right. Was thinking just the same. Even if Cisse wasn't ill, I wouldn't mind seeing Gouffran as an out and out forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
