Guest alex Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 we cant keep him on the pitch solely for free kicks. A luxury we cannot afford. I know what you mean but the thought of Ryan Taylor as a luxury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6785 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Jonas at full-back? Well it certainly worked for Argentina at the WC. He played right back for Argentina at the WC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lake Bells tits 1 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 On top of all that he starts Shola rather than a fully fit Demba Ba. Crime to humanity... Ameobi wasn't fit. Or bothered. Or both. Either way it would be utterly baffling if Shola made the starting line up. I wouldn't even have him on the bench. Neither would KK tbh, no idea why pardew rates him at all.

Lake Bells tits 1 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 but still better than Raylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nortoon 0 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Think we'll line up a bit like the Chelsea game last year. 1 striker with 3 attacking midfielders. Hopefully none of them will be løvenkrands. Will prolly be Best with Jonas Marveaux and Obertan behind him. Id like to see Ba given a chance though. This is what id like to see anyway, hopefully we'd get more of a link-up from midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 This has got 3 or 4 nil to them written all over it. Therefore, I'm going 2 - 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lake Bells tits 1 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I might be hanged by the balls for this, but Id be happy to have Jonas in another position if that means we get to see more of Marveaux.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4872 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I might be hanged by the balls for this, but Id be happy to have Jonas in another position if that means we get to see more of Marveaux.. no Id go with that, if we're sticking a midfielder at LB for the forseeable Id rather it was one who normally plays on the left, has a bit of pace and would at least offer something going forward in open play.

Guest Your Name Here Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 If Bent had been playing for QPR we’d have been stuffed at Loftus Road, and I think he’ll be the difference in a close game. Hutton might cause Raylor a few problems as well and N’Zogiba might have a point to prove... again. Sooner are later our sluggish starts are going to see us two down in twenty minutes, but AM is a cautious manager so it’ll probably not be tomorrow.

David Kelly 1260 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I think it's definitely time we ditched the 4-4-2 tomorrow. Our strikers aren't good enough and it doesn't seem to suit a central midfield pairing of Tiote and Caybaye. Possibly bring in Marveaux on the left and put Jonas behind the striker (I'd like to see Ba given a go but definitely not strola). Although perhaps Gosling might be the one to play that position. Raylor has to be dropped but I doubt Pardew has the bottle to go with Fergusson or Jonas at fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelie 103 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The way Wright-Phillips steamrolled past Raylor surely Pardoo can't persist in playing him left-back again. If Pardoo does it wouldn't surprise me if Villa played Zoggy down Raylor's side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 We were over run in midfield last week and offered nothing up front. Id be tempted to have five in the middle lan and one up front. Only works though if the midfield breaks forward and gets in and around the box. Bit like when we had Nolan arriving late in the box supporting Carroll. Not sure who could take up that like. When BA is back its the role I expect him to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of us even considered that. But hang on. He's left footed, offers something in attack, puts in a good shift defensively when playing in midfield, has played at fullback before for his country. Well now, it would seem its not as crazy as it seems. Its a wonder none of us thought of it earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7496 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Jonas left footed It would be good if Kadar was in a state to play there. As it is I'm resigned to Raylor again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
