    I think pre-season he's looked a bit s**t at CDM, but when he first came here he looked awesome as a CM at least.

    I think the reason he hasn't been great recently is becasue he's been next to Anita or Colback, and that's a bad combo. He should be next to Tiote.

    I don't think Sissoko should be the furthest back or relied upon as our main ball winner, but he shouldn't be used as much of a playermaker either. His best attributes are his athletic attributes. His pace, strength and stamina.

    I'd play this -

    ---------Rivierre--------
    --Gouff----------Cabella-----
    -------Anita--Sissoko----
    -----------Tiote-------
    Haidara--Colo--Willo--Janmaat/Mbiwa

    -------------Krul--------------

    De Jong to come on later on as he's missed the last few games.

    I'd play de Jong not Gouffran De Jong can create and score he has guile and none of our other midfielders bar Cabella have it.



    ----------------------krul---------------

    Janmaat--colo--Willo -- Haidara

    ---------------tiote--------anita----------------

    -----Sissoko-- De jong-- Cabella

    --------------------rivierre--------------------


    Regardless alan custer will select Colback and something nobody else would come up with

    He will then make substitutions guaranteed even If we're in the game and lose it.


    I remember bobby sometimes didn't make subs at all if we were in the game He knew it was gambling where as pardew custer seems to like trying to be clever which he isn't.

    Also I'm going to suggest tiote is being sold and we will end up making money this window.

    Don't be fooled

    Agree totally here T.
    He used to just let a winning team get on with it and not change a thing until an injury popped up.
    Fergie used to do the same too so it's probably an old school thing.
    Tiote not appearing last night did worry me quie a bit... sincerely hope we don't ship him out and rely on just Colback and Anita.

    If we do my irn bru better be stockpiled


    The fact remains we've spent absolutely nothing and I'm not fooled.

    This season could be the biggest disaster ever if we don't get the 3 players we all know we require.

    Chris Hughton used to do the same, never used to make many subs and sometimes none at all

    I've said for years pardew could fail to get his underpants off before ejaculating.

    Its a good early test of squad strength to me. I'm still not convinced we're that good.

    I could see some egg approaching but after failing to convince you it was I just waited until it landed on your face.
