triggs Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'm more annoyed by Anita/Colback in midfield than Obertan tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Obertan is starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 At least options on the bench. Wijnaldum gonna be dropped deeper for De Jong and Aarons brought on if needed. Two permacrocks on the bench tho.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Colin Young 1 minute ago Just had a tip Steven Taylor won't be a happy bunny. Trained all week to start the season against Southampton today but Steve McClaren has gone for Coloccini and Mbemba in central defence at the last minute. I'm also told Mitrovic will be on the bench and Cisse starts along with Obertan and Wijnaldum. Obertan for de Jong? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Obertan ahead of Perez, lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I hate that central midfield pairing and LW. Means we only get 3 of Perez, De Jong, Mitrovic and Aarons today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Mitrovic not starting is fine, tbh. Cisse is a good striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Best possible defense given the options and way better than we feared for the last week or two. Really surprised no De Jong, but good chance we'll see him, Mitrovic, and Perez as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Colback, Anita, and Obertan and with Cisse then the ball is just going to go straight back to Southampton time after time - shocking team from a muppet manager Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Checky on the bench. Wonder where they found him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'd take our bench to beat any 7 starters today in a seven-a-side match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElCid Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Mitrovic not starting is fine, tbh. Cisse is a good striker. He is not as a lone striker though he can't hold the ball up for one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Don't want to sound all Pardew but we have a canny bench. Fuck all defensive options like. But yeah, makes a big change from last season (albeit mostly thanks to returns from injury). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not as a lone striker though he can hold the ball up for one We're at home, our main striker's priority is to score goals, Cisse is pretty good at that.

themanupstairs Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 At least Obertan plays in his "best" position, wide left of a front 3. Silver linings and all that jazz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Anita and Colback will offer little going forward and even less in terms of protecting the defence. Mbemba new to the keague alongside a non-match fit Colo. Not looking good imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I think they're being cautious with de Jong and Aarons, which is probably fair enough. Perez should be starting, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
