no complaints about shola? i cant take pardew seriously as long as he keeps using shola. offers absolutely nothing. Anita would be much better and then stick sissoko on top for example. this is god knows how many times in row shola gets game time without doing anything. cant run, not even in the box and so on. Shola's rubbish, but without Gouffran he's the only available striker. Sissoko was playing brilliantly, why move him? Fuck me, how on earth did this actually happen?

Looks brilliant, even out of position.

The first wasn't tight though.

I've never seen a post saying that Cisse isn't trying hard enough. I think 99% of people on here recognise that he just needs a couple of goals to get him going again. Straw man. A couple of goals like tonight, you mean. No, ones which are given. He'll be even more frustrated now. Which of course you understand. My point is that he's clearly back in form - beat the offside trap three times, finished well twice. On reflection, reckon it'll be a confidence booster for him. You understand. I think he's played well all season, and I've argued all along that he just needs a bit of confidence. However, the longer strikers go without scoring the more desperate they get. He'll start scoring when Hatem is back anyway, nothing to worry about.

It was an obvious yellow, what you on about man? Thought he had a great game though, still a bit deep in my opinion though.

Fucking robbed. Never seen anything like it.

Slow it down Shola. That helps.

On a positive note, all of our new lads have looked brilliant so far since January. Gouffran would have made a massive difference tonight.

When did Shola retire by the way?

Amazed that isn't a penalty with this ref. So someone's certainly got a draw then?

Bunch of cheating wankers aren't they.

Most obvious yellow ever?

Metalist have been very clever with this ref to be fair. Someone mentioned it earlier in the thread what they were doing.

Has had 2 legitimate goals today ruled out. Can't fault him for that. Sheargol has taken over The College Dropout as the forums dour wind up merchant. Hang on, how is that a wind up? I've defended Cisse in pretty much every thread, and as I said above, he's getting in fantastic positions. I just think that as soon as he gets his confidence back he's gonna be looking at 2 or 3 goals a game again.

Oh fuck. Shola.

Has had 2 legitimate goals today ruled out. Can't fault him for that. Absolutely, and he's getting in some good positions. But imagine him with confidence. It would be like last season again.

Wish Cisse would get some confidence back. It's hard watching him these days

Level.

Should have played the kids then.

Marv now on, let's see if we notice him today.

Is Ben Arfa really our only creative player?

Well this isn't very enjoyable anymore. Oh yeah, it's a second half.

He's been managed into a shadow of his former self. Sad to see.
