My main reason for not wanting a 4-3-1-2 system is that we must have Ben Arfa and Marveaux in the same side. I'd go for a proper 4-3-3 and just put Marveaux in the middle.

Debuchy is one of our best players, but he and Santon will have to moderate their forays forward at times.

I do agree on Santon and Debuchy.

When you say Marveaux in the middle i trust you mean in a midfield 3 alongside Sissoko and Cabaye?

I like it but again we will have to keep the ball a lot better and control games better as none of them are dedicated defensive players.

Here's hoping Pardew actually tries something like that, because the 4-2-3-1 clearly doesn't work.

Nobody expect Newcastle to beat super strong and super rich Man City esp away match, this means the best Newcastle can do is to get a draw and one miserable point. Since it's a loss, from this logic only one potential point is lost.

So it's no big deal.

Only 1 point eh?

Making threads should not be allowed until a poster reaches 500-1000 posts. Seriously this guy has 100 posts and all of them have been new topics.

No offense intended Redsnoopy

Should of signed Rooney. He loves playing against City. Sad

I agree with this.

Maybe not 500 posts though, that seems a little high. Probably around 100-250 looks right.

Merged to Newcastle thread, where it belongs.

Ok good idea I'll post my Newcastle threads here

Btw, my suggestion to Sir Pardew is to buy a cheap but good Asian striker first. I think Asian strikers are underrated

It may sound a bit daft after a 4 - 0 trashing, but I think already against Manc City you could see glimpses of the skill in the Newcastle team, but obviously it remains a question mark whether Pardew can get the best out of that talent. A big game already against West Ham coming up.

I don't think that a fixture against City at Etihad with 10 men for the most is the best way to judge them.

Last night I didn't really see anyone tracking back to defend from Newcastle unless they were in park the bus mode.Made the defence look awful.

In short,Think a DM and an attacking player who can play in lots of positions like AM,False 9 and as a Wide midfielder would be good signings in the next few days.I think with a bit of luck they could get in the Top 12 zone.

Tonight match without top player Cabaye, I'm afraid match might end in draw
