Wallsendmag Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Wouldn't mind seeing Diame in midfield with Mitro off Gayle assuming Voldemort isn't available. Would have agreed with that up until a couple of weeks but he's been probably our best performer in the past 3 games so I'd be reluctant to move him now he's finally found his feet playing behind Gayle. In saying that the thought of him, Mitrovic and Gayle all starting sounds good as well, especially at home where we should be going at our opponents right from the first whistle like we did v Birmingham.

xLiaaamx Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Ritchie behind Gayle, Atsu right, Gouff left, Diame with Hayden? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I would play Tiote, he will do well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 I would play Tiote, he will do well. In place of Shelvey? Really? Shelvey has been spraying 50 and 60 yard balls around to feet all season and from what I can remember of Tiote he struggles to complete a 5 yard pass.

Dr.Spaceman Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If Tiote's passing to Yedlin at HT of the Birmingham game is anything to go by then we're fucked if he's the solution to absolutely anything. It also looked like Yedlin was legit pissed off with him, so maybe he's not part of the whatsapp group of #nufcbantzlads Or maybe I've got no idea what I'm talking about.

Obviously not going to ask him to do what Shelvey does, perhaps protecting the back four more with him and Hayden, will allow us to play with a more offensive front 4.

Benwell Lad Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If you're looking for like for like with Shelvey then there's only little Vurn who comes anywhere near the range of passing skills. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If you're looking for like for like with Shelvey then there's only little Vurn who comes anywhere near the range of passing skills. Anita has never shown himself to be a good long range passer, it's the main reason why our tactics under McClaren were so shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 We struggle against teams who put every man and his dog behind the ball, we need to find a way around that. Not that I think Sheff Wed will do that, I think they'll come looking to play football which will only benefit us. The one problem I see with Shelvey's game is that he often slows play down....note how we quickened the passing and movement against Forest just after he was sent off and scored. Quicker passing and moving is the key to breaking down massed defences in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheBallWinner Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Tiote and Hayden would be great to see for a home game against Wednesday. Don't think it would be a disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Have been suggesting Diame/Hayden for a while but I do think moving Diame now would be silly considering the form he's in. I'd play Anita/Hayden and play Yedlin at RB tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 If we move Diame we do at least have someone who could play in the hole in Perez. I think that's the way I'd go assuming Diame is actually any good as a midfielder. I never really saw much of him before he came here so have no idea.

James Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Players with Shelvey's passing range are rarely found. I think they key will be to replace him with a higher tempo midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
