Not on what we've seen here though Tash. He looked like a lost little lamb in the middle, and his lack of workrate was quickly exposed. Looked much better on the right. That said now he has picked up the pace, understands what is required workrate wise, maybe worth another go in the middle. Who do you drop though? We need a playmaker, no way he is intelligent enough to play that role. That means putting him alongside. If we don't sign a playmaker, any combination from Anita, Tiote, Sissoko, Abeid, Colback, Bigi is going to lack guile for me. All tidy short passing midfielders or drivers, not one has that x factor to pick passes and teams apart. Means relying heavily on SDJ, Cabella. I'm not sure we are entirely functional at present. Grenier would knit it all together.

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

Who has row vice captains

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.
 
So what's everyone s thought s now we face the possibility of no tiote or De jong through injury

Just to chip in, anyone who thinks that Sissoko is a CM/CDM, against the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, is an idiot.

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