Okay, so we might just have signed Ireland deal looks done.

So what formation shall we adapt?

I love 442

Especially how annoying ill find it with Carroll running around up front by himself if we adapt 451.

But how would Ireland fit in?

I guess we needed some midfield cover, but would you really jeopardise the formation and team spirit so that we could put Ireland in the team? Thoughts?.. :)
 
When everyone is fit:

Harper
Simpson Taylor Coloccini Enrique
Barton Gosling Tiote Nolan Ben Arfa
Carroll
 
Personally(my team, bench and formation) :

451/4411 :

Harper
Simpson Willo Colo Enrique
Barton Tiote Nolan Guti
Arfa
Carroll

Subs: Krul, Taylor, Taylor, Gosling, Ireland, Best, Lover.
 
Didn't Ben Arfa used to play as a striker? we could have him switching between playing behind/partnering Carroll
he would be great to reach Carroll's flick ons from goal kicks imo, we haven't really got anyone who will at the moment
 
Im just afraid that if you put 2 big central defenders on Carroll, he'll then become isolated.

But i suppose with Nolan and Ben Arfa behind him, it might just work.

We will have to see how good Pardew really is. ;)

HWTL
 
Plus, a couple times this season, Barton has run onto Carroll's knock downs. If he did that more often, then we'd see more goals from the lad.
 
Spiderman-mask i love your signature. :)

Newcastle - Sunderland, travelled about 400 miles to see one of the best games against are rivals was mint.

With your signature being sung all around the stadium.
 
for me its gotta be:

Harper
Simmo Williamson Collo Jose
Barton Tiote Ireland Jonas
Carrol Nolan

for now as the others like HBA are injured, switch around Nolan, Barton, Ireland and jonas arond in those four positions see what suits us best
 
Ireland doesnt fit in, simple.

Ben Arfa has far more pace than Nolan so would be a much better supporting forward so it would almost be a 4-4-2 with

Barton---------Nolan---------Tiote--------Jonas

-------------------Ben Arfa
--------------------------Carroll
