    Cisse is having a bit of a rough patch. Ba went through the same, we should stick with him.

    I think Cisse should be saved for European games, or come on late in PL games, just to get his form back.

    A 4-4-2 requires a presence up front like Shola. I think we should play 4-4-2 vs Man utd and Sunderland. Ba is in fantastic form, and should play in the ST position. Shola can provide the knock ons, and play a part in our defensive play.

    I think we should play -

    -----Ba-------Shola-------

    Fergie--Cabaye--Tiote---HBA

    Santon--Colo---Saylor---Anita

    -----------Harper-------------

    vs Manure and Sunderland. Anyone else agree?

    No. Cisse is scoring again.

    Did you read what I said?

    We should play Cisse in our Europa games! And he should come on as a sub.

    Against United, long balls will be useful! And against Sunderland, Ba on form + Shola could be very effective!

    Yes I did.
    PL is the priority and Cisse is more mobile.

    Cisse should come on late with full energy, and long balls troubles Manure!

    The in form Ba and Shola can win us the game.

    Think I would play shola and ba up top in both games but eapecially against sunderland. Pardew can't ignore shola's uncanny knack of notching against them lot.

    Let's just ignore the fact I already created an article on this. Which you commented on, I do believe.

    If Cisse starts scoring again, then it would be very difficult to drop him. At the moment, though, he has looked like his old self for a total of 20 minutes against Man U, and then looked like dog meat against Reading.

    Play Cisse mid-week. If suddenly the old touch returns, then you have a selection dilemma. Otherwise, Tash's team except that I woulld stat Jonas and bring Fergie on as a sub. Understand the reasoning, but think Jonas' workrate and experience makes him the better bet in these two fixtures
