notmyjob Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If he starts he will have to leave out either Weimann or Agbonlahor and I cant see him doing that. I cant see him risking a 4-4-2 formation which would in reality be a 4-2-4. Really? I can. This is Lambert we're talking about. I hope he doesn't though. If we need it later then fair enough but the team's shape and potency with those top three is pretty established. Yes although we find it harder to break teams down at home, it will certainly be interested if the score is 0-0 with 30 minutes to go to throw kozak on in place of one of the midfield players. I think this is more likely than him starting tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) but having read Pards smug assertion that his defenders can deal with Benteke Pardew said that? Excellent. 'He’s a handful. We dealt with him last time, and we’ll have to do that again.' says failed Charlton and West Ham manager Alan Pardew on Christian Benteke.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Haha, how can anyone contain him. He does what he wants on the football pitch. I think well see Kozak on the bench to start with, id like to see Sylla come into the XI tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hasnt Benteke got a 100% record against Newcastle? Albeit he has played them once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Also remember Benteke playing a delightful ball into Weimann that game who should've scored. Newcastle were all over the place that second half. The only reason they were better in the first is because we played 3-5-2 with Benteke/Bent up front!

How we didn't get anything from that game ill never know Absolutely hammered them second half if the same happens again i think we will see this guy up front as a 2 to give us more power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that a yellow card though, think the ref felt he had too as it was that bad! Hope refs in the prem have more sense or him and Benteke could be sent off each week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I know its only one game, but this guy is not gonna work up front with Benteke and Gabby. Seems his best chance to show us his talent is when Benteke is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swerbs Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 He's not going to work in a 4 man attack. Either play a proper 4-4-2 with Benteke and proper wingers or drop Benteke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant we can't play Kozak in this system (without dropping Benteke) or whatever the hell that was at the end of the game. Wouldn't necessarily be willing to make that kind of call after less than a half of football for him, particularly in a game where nobody showed up for us. I remember people saying something similar about Benteke this time last year. Just relax and see how things go in the next 10-15 games for Kozak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 Benteke and Kozak may work together but we'll rely on our full backs for the crosses in whilst playing 3 in the middle of the park still I reckon. Delph and Westwood with Sylla anchoring to provide cover for which ever full back is pushing forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
