looks like Cabaye out for a while Id like to see Pards play Obertan Anita Tiote Marveaux across the middle with Ben Arfa paying behind Ba it might give us the pace that we have lacked over the weeks

Sounds good to me and maybe we will stop the big hoof down the field. Hba could be lethal just behind Ba and if he starts a dribble he would be right in the danger area instead of starting on half way.

As much as I like to, i can't see pardew quitting the longball which is annoying. We want to see good fluent attacking football, maybe that's not one of pardews specialities. We have a record this season for playing most longballs and have only scored 12 goals which is embarrasing. Set pieces are shocking. Why didn't we go for de guzman creative powerhouse, deadball specialist. When we had hughton we had rly good attacking football and we were so deadly at set pieces.

I think we have missed our key players for diffrent matches. We have not really had a full squad to choose from all season.

I think that Raylor is a big miss as he plays LB and RB and can play in the middle. Perch and Willo are good squad players, but should not have a regular place in the team.

Last season our back 5 did not really change for the first 10 matches or so. In January we need to get either a LB or RB who can nail down that place - Santon is a RB by trade
