should colo play at center back against norwich and push mbiwa to right-back?

heres a few stats about when colo is playing

•Without him - 1. 18 points and 1. 7 goals conceded
•With him playing- 0. 9 points and 1. 9 goals conceded

iron mike williamson and mbiwa have been brilliant since so they should both still start

Tiote and M'Biwa are two future captain's and vice captains for us when colo leaves. For me, I think we don't need him, so keep the same back four, although i'd be happy if pardew brought in colo for santon and pushed m'biwa left back. but I think ben arfa needs to come back into the team (to play behind remy) instead of shola against norwich. because we won't need as much defensive work ethic as we did in past 2 games. But norwich is still a very tough game and the players cannot get complacent for it, norwich is as hard as any game

With debuchy out for the norwich game I would put santon at rb m'biwa lb & colo can slot in along side willo.
Also I agree with jtoon give benny a free role at home. I think the two Norwich centre halfs will struggle to cope with benny n remy more than they would with shola!

Geez. it's horses for courses the next 2 games will be just as difficult not forgetting although Mwiba played great and Williamson steady we could have and on another day conceded 6
Give Pardew a chance it's his job not ours
We win a few games and suddenly we are world beaters don't forget Blunderland who are crap just won 3 out of 4 against good teams

Yes you are right vida the next two home games are just as difficult as any. Debuchy's out? This is news to me? Suspension?
