Mole_Toonfan Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 The thought of playing Anita and Marveaux in central midfield...could our centre be any softer? Wham will more liikely full over divets in the grass than lose the ball to either of those 2. Reckon Pardew will put Willo at CB, MYM in midfield with Moussa and Anita. Softer yes.... but can actually give the opposition problems. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Marveaux and Ben Arfa supplying Cisse and Gouffran's movement should be a real threat, I really hope that all 4 start this weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 So who do we drop from the front three? If it came push to shove, I'd play Marveaux ahead of Gouffran because he's capable of supplying and scoring goals. Disco's team looks good as well though and I'd happily go for a softer midfield if we could provide some real threat at the other end. West Ham don't exactly have the midfielders to tear us to pieces if we don't have a bunch of tacklers in there, there's every chance they'll be giving up possession quite a bit themselves.

Has Pardew been training all week with him playing or has he been training all week without him. Either way the Pardster is gonna have a ready made excuse right there.

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Krul Santon Colo Mapou Dummett Anita Sissoko Marveaux Ben Arfa Cisse Gouffran If Cabaye plays. Krul Santon Colo Mapou Dummett Anita Sissoko Cabaye Ben Arfa Gouffran Marveaux I'd leave Cisse on the bench for a kick up the arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Has Gouff had a chance to play centrally as the main man? Would be interested to see it at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Agree with Bimpy on Cisse, as it goes as soon as Remy is back i'd go with Ben Arfa-Remy-Gouffran. Although i'm kind of hoping we get a left winger before then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Has Gouff had a chance to play centrally as the main man? Would be interested to see it at some point. Only in a friendly, Cisse's form is so bad i don't see why it can't be tried, Gouffran works harder and links up better. Whichever way we go Pardew has got to get the one up out of his mind, it isn't working and hasn't ever. 4-3-3/4-1-2-3 for me, not 4-4-2 as we have nowt wide anyway.

Although i'm kind of hoping we get a left winger before then Gomis for me, with HBA & Remy either side of him. Cisse benched until he gets his act together.

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Kick up the arse after 1 game away to City. Fucking Di Canio territory that you nutter! Last season taken into account, if you go by the Man City game, a game you claim we couldn't ever win, or even compete in. Gouffran was far better than Cisse and at least showed some fight. And like it or not, fight and effort is something we need right now, then again the manager has to show the way there doesn't he. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm out of any of these discussions where dropping Cisse is the answer to problems. Mind blowing, that has never even crossed my mind till it's just randomly popped up now, wish to never see it again. I'm out. I’ll come back when he’s popped the ball in the onion bag on Saturday.

With some service he'll get chances though. I would wait to see what happens in the next two games before taking a punt on Gouffran alone.

We need all the goal scorers playing, we haven't got that many. This is the point though..... we are not creating for him so thus he's useless. We need a striker who can run in behind, drop deep link the play and not be pushed off the ball so easily. I.E. Someone who can contribute outside the box to make it easier for the team to create chances and Gouffran and Remy are both better at those things than Cisse is.
