Newcastle: Elliot; Janmaat, Williamson, Dummett, Haidara; Sissoko, Tiote (c), Colback; Gouffran, Perez, Ameobi
It's gonna be a physical battle in the midfield with Goofy and Tiote starting. Will the 4-3-3 degenerate into a 4-5-1?
Probably something like, "Hey, I get paid anyway because this club's owner and manager appreciate mediocrity."
Typical Pardew....Tiote comes back and gets into the team straightaway, Cabella gets dropped for Gouffran who plays on the wrong side, probably because Pardew didn't want to lose more than he wanted to win, we start 4-3-3 but mutate into a 4-2-3-1, Sissoko can't play thru the middle 'cause Big Sam sets his teams up the same way Pardew does therefore he is unable to counterattack and goes negative. When two sides play the same game, the side who takes more chances along the margins will prevail. Pardew didn't and Sam did.
