Feeling quite optimistic about this based on nothing whatsoever. Probably just a mood swing.

 

Anyway, hope safety first Pardew puts out a team capable of attacking. Ideally for me that would be Ferguson on one wing and Obertan on the other and maybe Marveaux in there as well although I cant really recall who is actually fit and whose not.

 

Maybe something like

 

Krul

Simpson Taylor Williamson Santon

Obertan Marveaux Tiote Ferguson

Ba Cisse

 

However Pardew will no doubt rush Jonas back.

 

Ive stuck Marveaux in as he certainly showed glimpses the other day (only glimpses) of how he can receive and pass the ball in the middle under pressure whilst still having the eye for a decent forward pass.

 

Probably Bigi and Jonas will be Pardews choice instead of Ferguson and Marveaux, but with no Ben Arfa creative play has to come from somewhere.

 

nb Not sure if Obertans fit yet either. :)

 

Are Obertan and Cisse confirmed fit now?

Obertan is definitely out according to Physioroom.

 

I'd choose Bigi before Marveaux in the centre as he's certainly more of a physical presence than the Frenchman. If Cisse and Ba are both fit then I'd be happy to see crosses coming in from left and right. However I'd prefer an attack based upon pass and move if we're playing with just the one central striker and I'd probably play a 451/433 with Marveaux and Sameobi in support of Ba. Tiote Perch and Anita in the centre.

 

I'm not excluding Ferguson out of spite, just that he's best employed when you've options in the middle to hit and without 2 strikers of note we've a short side that's not great in the air.

 

They've got decent attacking options in Ramirez, Ricky Lambert and I rate Lallana, their defence isn't great, but we're not exactly brilliant going forward this term.

 

One thing I am sure of, their 'keeper is dodgy as fuck. I'd be shooting from fucking everywhere. This is the perfect game for Cisse to start peppering the goal from where ever he fucking likes.

 

After saying all of that; I'm going for a score draw.

I wonder, was the fans wanting roeder and fat sam out also ridiculed?

 

Trust me, a year from now playing sparkly water fotball we will all look back and be happy we got rid.

I voiced these concerns a year ago, and I was right.

Prophets are rarely appreciated by their contemporaries.

 

Yeah it'll be great football under Mark Hughes.

I think in LBTs drug addled brain he thinks Pardews team talks consist of him shouting 'hit it long' at the players. What we need is a visionary to come in and explain that you need to pass it on the floor then we'll will play like Barcelona and win lots of trophies.

 

The players are just waiting for that light bulb moment obviously as French, Dutch and Argentinian internationals don't know how to kick a ball properly unless specifically instructed by the manager. The cunterhead that he is
