Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew is set to tear up his tactics for the weekend's clash with Swansea City.
The Daily Mail says Pardew will gamble on his position by making changes for Saturday's trip to the Liberty Stadium - including dropping Yoan Gouffran and handing forgotten man Gabriel Obertan his first Premier League start in 18 months.
United spent £30million on their first-team squad during the summer but Pardew is prepared to rip up the tactics employed during the early part of the season in a bid to bring about an improvement.
Emmanuel Riviere - the £6m striker who was hooked at half-time during Monday's 1-0 defeat at Stoke - is set to be replaced by Papiss Cisse, while £12m Remy Cabella is running out of chances to return on his sizeable investment.
