My first thought too, but I'd like to see Taarabt continue in a central position like he did against Fulham. Will be interesting to see how we line up.
Perhaps Harold has a More acute tactical brain that I have given him credit for. If he gets anything from this game with that defence I will .be very impressed.
Strange with Ferdinand - neither Hill or him can play back. 3 man back line perhaps? ----------------------------Cesar-------------------- ----------Ferdinand--------Nelsen---------------Hill Mackie-------Granero------M'bia-----Ale------Fabio --------------------------------Adel--------------------- -------------------------Cisse----------------------------
3 at the back? ---------------Green--------------- ------Hill--Nelsen---Ferdinand ---------------Mbia---------------- Mackie---Granero-----Faurlin------Fabio ------------Taarabt ------------Cisse------------ It would be a surprise but I think thats the only way it could work.
Hmm, perhaps we're starting tarbs out wide again to confuse Newcastle. They'll have set up to contain him. We can make a sub later in the game to put him back in the hole?
Allegedly back injury. The conspiracy theorist in me suspects his salary is outrageous and we are trying to move him on to start to manage the wage bill. Shame if true, I really like him.
why oh why is Ferdinand playing at RB? He can't play his own position properly let alone somebody else's. Strange one. Hope you know what you're doing Harry.
Ferdinand is at RB but Taarabt is in the middle and we dont seem to have a proper LW and it seems like Faurlin is filling in there.
Harry's on the phone. To his accountant? We're looking ok so far although just typing that is tempting fate!
Me too. Can anyone confirm exactly what formation we're playing and who's playing where now it's kicked off?
