Moussa Sissoko will take up a role wide on the right, with Jonas Gutierrez on the opposite flank and Hatem Ben Arfa in the number ten role." Pardew's a bit bonkers.

Tiresias Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I disagree think Ben Arfa is fine in the no 10 role, he's been tried there only when not match fit in past, he's got the ingredients and probably our second biggest goal threat on the pitch. Sissoko out wide, he's played there before, not ideal and i would switch him for tiote, but this is a friendly and we should try things out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Won't it be Ben Arfa, Sissoko and Useless behind Cisse? Not bad a formation, just the wrong player at LW. Aye, in an ideal world it doesn't matter that much where the players are in that formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 So we can expect something like : Cisse HBA Sissoko Cabaye Tiote Jonas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm rather puzzled with why Pardew is carrying on with a formation that has proved nothing but useless for our players. Would have thought a friendly would be the time to try something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Jonas LW. He learnt nothing? If Sissoko is viewed as a RW this season he wants shooting. Hatem at #10 is a nice idea, but have the common sense to drop Tioté for Sissoko instead of shoving him out wide. That and a new LW and Remy on the right and it suddenly looks a lot better, decent idea just got the wrong players in certain areas of the pitch.

Kasper Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I disagree think Ben Arfa is fine in the no 10 role, he's been tried there only when not match fit in past, he's got the ingredients and probably our second biggest goal threat on the pitch. Sissoko out wide, he's played there before, not ideal and i would switch him for tiote, but this is a friendly and we should try things out. There's no space for him there. Almost every team plays with a defensive midfielder who makes his job so much harder if he's played behind the striker. On the right he has so much more space to get into full speed and run at people. There he also knows which way the defenders are coming from making it easier for him to take the piss out of them. I'd much rather play Sissoko behind the striker. Has the physicality for a modern day number 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatem should be RF, Remy LF and Cisse CF, it's by far the best we can play IMO. With Cabaye, Anita and Sissoko behind them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Remy might (MIGHT) push Jonas out of the team, even though im not sure! But Tioté will be his next favourite that he'll refuse to drop to the bench unless injured or suspended!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Using that set up as Pardew clearly has this in his mind but with different players.... Sissoko Cabaye Remy Ben Arfa New LW Cisse As long as the LW is of any sort of quality it would suddenly look a lot better, its up to Pardew to actually see this.

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Not sure why anyone is taking pre-season games this seriously but fair enough It's the lack of trying something different that worries i think mate.

Interpolic Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Just shows how close Jonas is to a starting position as a winger, even if most of the squad is fit and available. Needs sorting desperately. Also we might as well shift Marveaux on, he'll hardly ever play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
