Christmas Tree 4725 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 No Tiote and no idea what Pardew will do. Looking forward to a decent pub outing to watch it though, followed by Turkey chips and gravy when I roll in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@yourservice 67 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Toon Turkeys in for a stuffing. 9-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonyTOON 10 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Honestly? If Ba is away in January, then he needs to be dropped and allow the players who will be staying to build some form together, which means Cisse back up top in a 4-3-3 where he was a massive hit. But I think he will actually drop Cisse and start Obertan and/or Marveaux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Drop our top scorer against the top team in the league, aye right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I imagine we'll play Perch & Anita in the Centre of a 442 with the usual faces slotting in. Probably with Jonas on the left & Obertan on the right. Shola & Ba up front with a lot of hoofing - I can't imagine Pardew playing a 433 & trying to outpass Man United. We're going to get a bumming but if we can keep it down to a sensible score I'll keep it down to a sensible level of post match depression. That said their defence is shite...

Aeris 0 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 If we are going to lose it for sure, why not do it in style and surprise them with some serious attacking football? We prove to be shit whenever we facing a top team in a defensive formation anyway, and its never a guarantee that we wont be in for rape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2207 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Nil points. Hopefully we can go down fighting and not pick up any injuries/suspensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4156 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 One of those games where despite trying to be optimistic you just cant see us getting absolutely anything from. Just hoping we dont get embarrassed and get anyone else injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene_Clark 12 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Don't think I'll watch it; will just come on here to see what the South Tyneside Mental Health Outpatients Forum has to say about it, safe in the knowledge that whatever CT & J69 say will be massivley removed from the truth. We'll lose, but so what? We generally do & haven't won there in nigh on 41 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubiousBobcat 0 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I'm wondering if Pards is considering risking bring back Ben Arfa for this one. We need some quality in midfield. Well, we need some quality full stop..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2207 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I normally record the match and watch it next day without checking the score. Not this fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 We won't win, but I never expect to. I think I'd keep HBA to get fully fit for a game we have a better chance. That said, when we play there you don't want to see the players with that attitude. You go there to try and get something from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we need some quality full stop..... Dont think it would be worth the risk as we're not likely to get anything from the match even with him in the side. He wouldnt be a hundred percent anyway. Better to save him for the months ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
