The next fortnight (and a day)-Time to switch to 4-3-3?

You then have to sacrifice Ba left though as Cisse is not as effective there. While he is hot that seems unpalatable. I think if Pardew had bit the bullet and put Ba left to start with, Cisse may have found his form again. But now we have to deal with where we are and I think it will mean sticking with Ba through the middle and dropping Cisse. If Ba is adamant he does not want to play left you either sell him or simply tell him and Cisse its a straight fight. They can play together but it requires sacrifice from Ba who can play that role.

Nedders - I'm not convinced Tav is a right back. I think he is more of a Aaron Hughes type. I'd throw him in but as you say it won't happen. We need a better footballing centre back in January that is for sure. The lads I know who watch the 21's reckon Good is not ready.

 

This may be sorted out if Ba's dreaded release clause is activated in January, I just pray it isn't the dippers, in which case we should look to sign another striker that's prepared to back-up/fight for the spot or can work with Cisse.

 

I agree I hope with Jonas out Anita Tiote and Cabaye make a midfield trio and play Simpson untill we sign Debuchy in jan D)! If we play 4-3-3 we should win IMO! So what im saying anything less then 12 points in the next 3 games will be un-acceptable

Sack the Manager, sack the Board if we don't get them!
