Team for Saturday

Personally, I go 4-4-2 with wingers playing on the wing. Cisse seems to play well with Shola.

What I expect is a left winger playing on the right wing and a central midfielder playing on the left or vice versa. Maybe even a target man playing on the wing. However, it would be novel to see an attacking midfielder going forward alongside a box to box midfielder in the middle.

Under Hughton, Carroll arrived late in the box to good effect, it could be good to see Ameobi doing the same as long as late is before 5.30pm.

If Pardew responds to the pressure to change, I can see him including 3 players who have helped the reserves out of their run of 1 win in 12. Obertan with a recent hat trick, Gosling with 2 goals in 2 and the relatively prolific Amalfitano ar destined to start in defence.

WTF?!!

No way should Cisse be right back. I'd swap him with Sissoko.
 
It matters not who you put on the team sheet, its how they perform and at the moment as all season you cannot guarantee any performances. if AC and Nolan are up for it we are stuffed.
