Kanji Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Rather see Gouffran up top, with Aarons and Cabella wide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Sissoko and gouff on wings. welcome back last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 De Jong's preseason injury actually annoys me. He's clearly more vital to us than just goals - need him out there as he's probably the new real captain. Fuck even Tiote missing kills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Hopefully the storys are true about Pardle being under pressure, as he'll be gone by December if that's our 1st choice formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 We're starting this season exactly how we finished the last one. How's he still here man? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Reckon Sissoko will still play on the right, with Gouffran in the de Jong role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 We're starting this season exactly how we finished the last one. How's he still here man? But if it didn't work last season or the time before it's bound to start working now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Don't believe it will be exactly the same when everyone is fit. Do Jong changes things, unless he benches Cabella for an hardworking wide player which is entirely possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Santon will be left back, Gouffran will drop to the bench with Anita. Can't see the shape changing much/at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I suppose the defence is what I want to see, that's about it. If Colback plays slightly ahead of Anita then it might work, inevitably he will sit right alongside him as we concede possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Santon will be left back, Gouffran will drop to the bench with Anita. Can't see the shape changing much/at all. Pardew is petrified of playing anything other than a flat 4 in midfield hence why we so often revert to it despite occasionally dabbling with a 3 or 2 sitters.

I do agree, didn't say the shape that changes. Just that with Cabella and De Jong there's a bit more attacking talent than is out there today. So that changes it a little bit, even if the shape is the same. But as said there's always the chance he does a Ben Arfa with Cabella. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 i'm sitting looking at that line up in absolute bewilderment i was thinking 'what can he possibly be scared of vs. sociedad in a home friendly' but in a way if he goes to attack them and we end up three down like malaga then there's a chance things might get nasty for him again...suppose this must be foremost in his thinking does not bode well for the season to come at SJP at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisjraby Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Crock of shite. Anyone taking banners to the game?
