Tooj 17 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 He still never got forward to support though. Especially when Tiote was out for quite a while as he held whilst Guthrie had more freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21760 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Well he was certainly more advanced than tiote. And I'd like to see him play a similar role today. If anything, even closer to the front men. Let tiote sit and have Cabaye threading balls through to the strikers and wingers. I'm sick of seeing him playing this quarter back role. He's been shit at it. Get him further forward where he can do more damage, hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 He played further forward in our 433 and was excellent. He never did in the 442 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4084 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just hope we show enough balls, the complete lack of in the last two home games has been horrifying. Makes you think all the stories in the press may be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarStripes 0 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Back to 442 today, rigid and organised. --------------------Elliott Simpson, Taylor, Coloccini, Mbiwa Ben Arfa, Cabaye, Tiote, Jonas ------------Cisse------Goufrann 2-1 to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Allardyce will want to tonk us today. Ben Arfa must start. We need to start concentrating on our own game instead of worrying what the oppsition will do, we did that last year, played to our strengths and let the opposition worry about us, instead of us being fearful of what they can do.

aimaad22 4084 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 i really really fucking hate "former players" coming back to haunt us. as one of the paper headlines pointed out this morning our, £35m swindle could come back and now cost us £70... dreading these fuckers at set pieces. to the god HBA that he decideds to tear them apart. Either that or Cisse having one of his crazy days. We'll get out muscled and out fought on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besty 4 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Elliot Simpson Taylor Colo Mbiwa Cabaye Tiote Jonas Ben Arfa Cisse Gouffran Not too shabby. This is the actual line-up btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Looks like Pardew has been reading my thoughts on matters. Happy to see us stick largely with the pre-january players that have played well together before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aimaad22 4084 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Thats a relief. Was half expecting Shola and Squiddy to start. A common sense starting line up at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loonyTOON 10 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 i think we'll spank them today - gut is telling me Ben Arfa will score. Got a quid on us to win 3-1, Everton and Chelsea to win 2-1. Ten grand if it happens - so the boys better not let me down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonyTOON 10 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 i backed us yesterday for 3-1 as well Going by logic, we haven't had a 3-1 win this season, and we always have at least one. So today is the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten grand if it happens - so the boys better not let me down! Good luck! In ordinary circumstances I'd put West Ham down to beat us with the Nolan/Carroll combo and especially with HippoHeed wanting to get one over on us. I just hope Colo can restore some confidence at the back and we take our chances up front and have a 'fuck you' attitude to all the shit that's been floating around. I've good memories of Upton Park and it isn't a graveyard for us like the Dell used to be be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeris 0 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 2-2, we'll play absolutely poop the first half, early goals banged in for west ham, then a late equalizer for us in the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StellarStripes 0 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 That means either Cabaye or Ben Arfa behind Cisse. Ben Arfa would make much more sense. Jonas and Gouffran out wide with Tiote and Cabaye in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
