So, what is our best team ?
What is our playing style ? counter-attacking?
Should we give the young lads like Perez, Ameobi, Cabella a regular starting spot ?
Sissoko was the best player on the pitch today. He played really well in CM pairing with Colback.
Still enjoyed the comeback.

We have a very delicate squad (one of the youngest in the prem) and PARDEW needs to nurture the youngsters properly. It seems with young talents like perez, ameobi, aarons we definitely have much more hunger and flair.

Would like to see this team against City:
Krul, Janmaat, Saylor, Coloccini, Dummett, Raylor, Colback, Abeid, Ameobi, Perez, Cabella in a 4-3-3

We need to rotate the squad.
I'd say give Raylor, Williamson, Haidara, Abeid, Vuckic, Armstrong and Aarons gametime against City midweek.

Stop there Pardew could not nuture anything so forget it. Simple results are what count and we got one today. Come back after the next 3 games about nuturing

I'd like to see Pardew play 4 4 2 and try cisse upfront with Riviere or goufran.

what puts teams under pressure is pace and movement off the ball. it certainly seems to put our defence under pressure. I think we get too bogged down in midfield and so there is no space to play the ball into. Our first goal on sunday is the first time this season we have seen a pass go beyond the defence into space. It was a good pass by collback but cabaye was playing balls like that for fun.
We really need someone in midfield who can play that type of pass.

Is there anyone in our squad with that capability?

And is there a way back for Mike Williamson?
