    Been mentioned a few times, but who doesnt love random polls? With no Cabaye, Guthrie or Raylor we have none of our regular free kick/corner takers playing, so who do you want to see taking them? Will make it so you can pick more than one player, as you might want different players on corners to free kicks, or a left and right footer for shooting free kicks.

    Apologies if I've forgot an obvious one.

    EDIT: how do I edit the actual poll? Forgot to make it multiple choice.

    Right sided shooting position: Ben Arfa
    Left sided shooting position: Vuckic (if playing)
    Deep free kick: Tiote
    Corner: Jonas

    That would be my pick

    Santon or Jonas for me. Possibly let Ben Arfa have a shot at a free kick if he gets on otherwise Jonas on corners and Santon on free kicks for me.

    Tiote's crossing has been good this season so I'd definitely have him on deeper free kicks. He's got 2 or 3 assists from balls curled in this season.

    Jonas to take corners (Ameobi header vs Chelsea last season was a Jonas corner). Ben Arfa to take the free kicks!

    Has Santon taken them before? I wasnt sure so put him in anyway, has a lovely cross in him from open play.

    In previous situations like this, Tiote has floated some nice crossed in and Jonas has a very good corner:goal ratio, but I dont think either would be able to hit the target from close range. Colo's got brilliant technique, maybe an outside shout?

    I'm not sure if Santon has taken free kicks before I suggested him because he seems to have great technique and his crosses from open play seem great. Having seen the above videos though I'd let Ben Arfa take them if he was playing but Pardew hinted in his interview that Ben Arfa won't start. I said Jonas for corners because his corners have been good in the past.

    Is that because you sub him into the team for Raylor, who's usually on free kicks? ;)

    Ben Arfa/Ba free kicks, Santon/Jonas on corners. Off topic I'm really tempted by a Santon last goal bet on the next two games, simply because I keep imagining a Santa based pun in the papers afterwards...

    Jonas put in the cross for Shola's winner vs chelsea in the 4-3 Carling Cup last year.

    He also put in the last minute corner for Colocinni's equaliser against Wigan in the 2-2. So i's gotta be Jonas on corners, HBA on frekicks.

    Well he does cut inside loads, on his tribute videos he has loads of efforts at goal and they often require a decent save. Might be worth a punt.

    Ben Arfa.

    Jonas and Obertan don't have technical ability.

    Ben Arfa on free kicks and Jonas on corners is the general consensus, cant argue with that.
