Newcastle United V West Ham United - Official Build Up/Match Day Thread

I think it's about having an option from the bench. Optimistic thinking here, but Gouff from the bench can switch us to 4-3-3 if things aint going great, or swap for Shola if - as expected - he trundles around doing nowt. Shola's also on to protect from corners probably for around 60 mins or more.

Dummett behind Santon would have worked better for me. I don't think Marv's a winger, he's a left inside-forward or number 10 type of player. So that's a mistake. Particularly as West Ham will go at the wings, they're a get it wide/cross it team. With Benny and Marv we're lightweight and short of defensive cover.

 

Cabaye in 'the wrong place'.....

Tiote not playing.... Away too?

 

Christ on a bike. Substitutes: Rob Elliot, Paul Dummett, Dan Gosling, Gael Bigirimana, Haris Vuckic, Sammy Ameobi, Yoan Gouffran.

So we either win with the eleven who start, or.....what, exactly? Bring on super Dan? Scare them with the gangly uselessness of Sammeobi? THREE of our bench have been linked with moves away, albeit two on loan.

I'm beginning to wonder how many we really need. And where is Tiote?

 

Tiote is probably being flogged as we speak

 

Well Pardew's certainly going for broke today. Two attacking full-backs and two wingers who aren't going to track back all the time. Death or glory I suspect.

Cabaye can **** right off.

 

Is jonas being sold too? (Gets aroused)

 

tiotes injured in think. Probably the best line up we could field. If it doesn't scream out new players are needed I don't know what does

 

Anyone else's arse twitchy?

 

If (big if) we replaced them both with young, quality midfielders like Will Hughes i wouldn't be upset to let them both go. Cabaye has proven to go missing for large parts of last season and as much as I love Tiote, he's become too much of a liability. I'd be happy with Sissoko and Anita in the middle for the rest of the season.

 

More like Tiote sold for £15m, Flamini in. Price is right.

Bench is shocking.

 

Anyone got a stream?

Mackems winning 1-0

 

Or rather 0-1

 

Mapou saved us

 

This is stinkin ****. Do the players actually have a plan pre game? Shola is a waste of organs and Pardew is just a ****er

 

He's impressing me a bit today which is rare from our lot lately.

Mathieu Debuchy and David Santon are frightening, both attacking skills are mild and inconsistent and defensively they are both terrible.

Jarvis is killing Debuchy.

 

Sissoko is the standout today.
He looks like he gives a ****.
