I think if Santon is fit he must play on sun against spurs, if SWP can run amok at QPR against us what will Lennon do? My team would be
Krul
R Taylor S Taylor Colo Santon

Marvaux Tiote Cabaye Jonas

Ben Arfa

Ba or Best

I understand what you mean but a different style of oppenent to what we've played so far where we got bale running like a greyhound on steroids. The only way to slow him down I think would be to play guti rm with simpson behind him.

Debated this at work all week, I would play Simpson at RB with Taylor on the right wing (for the 1st half at least) Oba hasn't been traking back much. However Santon should start with jonas who does track back as it is his first match. HBA up front with one of the 2 big lads.

I really like Santon but should we change our back 4 when we are still solid and not conceding many goals?

I think Pardew will keep the team the same for Spurs, cos we're at home and the lineup has been a success so far.

I see Hatem and Davide coming off the bench on Sun.

Demba Ba is not injured the Senegal manager has said the reason he didn't play him was because of the pitch.

Ba is supposedly injuryed mate, so it's gunna probs be a 4-5-1 with leon best up front alone......

Would go with that except I'd keep Simpson at right back for the moment.
Ba up front if he's fit.
