Optimistic Nut Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 November/December 2012 What a shit time that was. the first 3-4 games destroyed us (Swansea, West Ham & Southampton come to mind). Performances improved a bit after that (Stoke away) but the damage was done in those few games and we were screwed really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hearing on the grapevine that Shola is starting. Fair enough. Drop Cisse for being a massive sulk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hearing on the grapevine that Shola is starting. Cisse on the wing then i'd expect. Let the drivel continue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hearing on the grapevine that Shola is starting. Didn't Pardew play him last season to defend set pieces? Maybe switching to 4-4-2 tomorrow,with Gouff and HBA on the wings and Sissoko and Anita in the middle? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 He's going 4-4-2, It's either Shola or Gouffran up top with Cisse, i think Shola because of their set pieces. Another decision where he's worried about them. We have enough to defend seeing as they're aren't that big either. We will have possibly, Mapou, Colo, Dummmet(5ft 10) and or Santon, Sissoko and Cisse, all 6ft plus. Lets play our best attacking team and give them problems, but i bet he bottles it.

Ikon Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Even though we lost big time against Arsenal and Man u away i actually enjoyed our football in those games more than most of our games. Then you could at least see some positive signs of what the players are capable of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Are West Ham really that big of a team on set pieces without Carroll? Cole, Nolan, Downing, Diame, Noble and Maiga really that big? Diame aside of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diame aside of course. Which is what i said in my post Mole, i don't think they are. And i think we can handle them with players i put down, but can you seriously see Pardew going and ignoring West Ham strengths. I dont mean completely disregarding them but not trying to stop them so much that it suffocates our own attacking play. Not really sure why i put that, as that's exactly what we've seen for a year or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the crowd for once were allowed to see some offensive and positive football with movement from the start then im sure the atmosphere would come along with it. But to answer your question, yes, it will be dogshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hearing on the grapevine that Shola is starting. Krul Debuchy Colo Mbwia Santon Ben Arfa Tiote Sissoko Marveaux Cisse Shola United For Newcastle @UtdForNewcastle 1h That's the starting line up tomorrow by the way... Have it on good authority! Taken with a pinch of salt, obviously. Wouldn't be at all surprised like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
