ujpest doza Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Pardew said the other day that a number of players weren't travelling as they weren't fit enough. Cisse is one, I assume Ben Arfa is another. Add Tiote and Anita to that I guess, maybe play against St Mirren on Tuesday? I thought that was a reserve team friendly?

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I wouldn't get too concerned outside of Cisse anyway, its pre season you are always likely to see weird line ups as everyone needs game time to get fit. Will be a shit watch mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hobshobs Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I guess it's Jonas and Marveux out wide with Shola and Gouffran up top. Rememeber it's Pardew in charge, it could be Shola and Gouffran out wide, Jonas and Marveaux through the middle with Marveaux as the target man.

Ishmael Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 We'll scrape a 1-1 draw with our goal coming from Ameobi's arse. Pardew will praise our resilience coming up against a fitter, tighter side, singling our Jonas and Williamson for two hard working, gritty displays. Ameobi will make a comment about his lethal run of goalscoring form and how he should deserve the number 9 shirt for the coming season. Pardew will later say that this XI have the first team shirts for the first game at Manchester City and anyone not in the current squad will have to work hard for a month in the reserves before even being considered. Marveaux will pull his groin in the 98th minute. "I thought we was tight." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/papiss-cisse-fitness-not-concern-5373231 However, Cisse is not expected to take part in tomorrow’s friendly at Blackpool (3pm). His next chance to play could be in Paisley on Tuesday evening when United face St Mirren. Yet with over 2,000 fans making the journey to Bloomfield Road for the pay-on-the-day fixture against the Seasiders, Pardew is expected to line up with a strong XI against the Championship outfit. Moussa Sissoko, Yohan Cabaye, Yoan Gouffran, Mathieu Debuchy and Davide Santon are all understood to be in the frame to play. Pardew said: “I’m going to keep four or five players back to work on fitness. “But I’ll be taking a good team to Blackpool. I am pleased with the work we done last week in Portugal. “We have worked hard. We have had no injuries so far, and as the days go by the better that is for us.” Blackpool ended last season in 15th place in the Championship. Yet Pardew is expecting a tough test against Paul Ince’s side. He said: “Blackpool are just two weeks away from the start of their season. “They are 10 days ahead of us in terms of work. “I think that will show too. They are at a good level. “But we are working hard and this will be a good test for us.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Easy training sessions = unfit players. HBA isn't even injured, I don't understand how he's not fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
