Pards is a decent manager to be fair, he's just victimised because of the circumstances of Hughton's sacking. If we get some players in, I think he could do a good job.
Yeah I was thinking Cabaye and Barton maybe too similar in the same team, although I thought we missed Barton in the first 15 minutes massively.
It's only a matter of time before he scores.
Not quite sure who plays on the right with Barton gone - in a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3 - despite us having loads of midfielders. Jonas? Ryan Taylor? Guthrie?
I'd guess Obertan. Possibly HBA?
