its not meant to be narrow. I'm just too important to spend my time tweaking that shit. HBA and Jonas would be wide.

 

The other full back (not playing behind Jonas) would have a hell of a lot of work one, hope it's Santon! :D

Exciting debut from him. I think people are being a bit harsh on him. I'm a big Tiote fan but Tiote was poor, no excuses. We know what Tiote is capable of but he didn't perform and it's very unfair to blame that on Vuckic who had two excellent shots on goal from distance and almost fed a perfect through ball to Ba. I wasn't at the game so maybe I missed all this disappearing that he did. We didn't get mugged on the counter because of Vuckic, we played poorly as a team but I thought he showed moments of class and obvious potential.

 

Vuckic needs games. If Gosling, Guthrie and Cabaye are all ahead of him in the pecking order, then why not send him out on a month's loan to the Championship when they're all fit? He'll get more used to the English game and it's worked well for us a few times in the past with players cutting their teeth at a lower level (Krul, Carroll, Bernard).

I don't think people are harsh on him, everyone is excited. The match just showed how much Cabaye means to us even off the ball. the amount of pressure he puts on the opposition is amazing and I think his absence really affected Tiote's perfomance too. Tiote was poor but he was really doing almost all the work in midfield. And that's not harsh on Vuckic, he's just not yet ready to play CM in 4-4-2. Going forward he was great and reminded me of the times of Laurent Robert ie. feeling real excitement when he got in position to shoot. Really hope we would try the suggested formations that include Tiote, Cabaye, Ben Arfa and Vuckic.

3 at the back in a 3-4-2-1 would accomdate Ben Arfa and Vuckic behind Ba centrally, but we don't have 3 centrebacks I trust. Think Santon and Jonas could both be wingbacks though. Also 3 at the back is possibly a gamble, don't really want to try too experimental formations, generally 3 at the back requires a side full of pace, and we can be slow atm.

Since pre-season he's looked a phenomenal threat going forward. Really hope he stays around the first-team tbh.

 

Almost got two goals on his first Premiership start. Not bad by anyone's standards. Not the complete performance or anything, but could do well just ahead of a four-man midfield :thup: Increasingly high hopes for the guy.

If he played in a midfield trio with Cabaye and Tiote, he would have license to do what he's best at. So would the other two, fwiw.

 

I was creaming over a potential triumvirate with Barton, but Vuckic could be even better.

 

Early optimism, i know - but the raw talent is blatantly obvious and he's been good every time i've seen him.

Would love to see him given creative license with YoCabs and Tiote behind him. My hope pre-season was one striker up top, Barfa behind, with Haris coming in if Barfa wasn't an option. Right now, I'd like to see what's been mooted by pretty much everyone since WBA. Vuckic in the hole, Barfa out wide. Would be a fucking dream.

so with players like vuckic, ben arfa,marveaux, no real forward option after ba......can anyone else see why we really shouldn't be playing 4-4-2 ?

seems like there's a consensus on here about that line up, and i can't disagree, would be very exciting. think pardew will go with something far more conservative though, ie obertan starting. still should be enough to beat bolton, they're absolute wank this season and their game against blackburn was one of the worst i've seen at prem level in a while in terms of quality.

Best is a good pro. And Obertan needs practice.

Agree completely, try telling Pardew that. Now is as good a time as any to shake things up, imo.

it shouldn't be a shaking up, it was bloody obvious, especially at home that with our personnel 4-4-2 wasn't the way to get the best use.

I couldn't care less about formations, I would love to see us have a team of players who don't stick rigidly to any of them and just adapt to a game.

All we need is:

 

                  Krul

Simpson Taylor Colo Santon

                Tiote

              Cabaye

        Four More People

A simpler solution would be (from right to left):

 

 

Jonas    Cabaye    Tiote  Ben Arfa

 

                      Vuckic

 

                        Ba

 

 

 

This will never happen though due to the Ben Arfa-wing thing. I can dream.....

 

would love it

I bet Pardew has mulled this one over a lot the past few days. I remember the last time a manager did pretty much exactly what everyone on here wanted...we lost 3-0 at Derby.  :lol:

 

Yep remember that vividly :lol:
