Wish HBA was fit for this. Wish Marv started for Jonas or came on earlier for Jonas. I thought bringing Tiote off when down 2-1 was wrong decision as well.

Marv should have been on in the first half and he needs to be on as soon as the 2nd half starts. 0 creativity in this team.

Well....fuck it. Lets have it today

According to Pardew HBA feels fine but the scans say otherwise. Feel like the shit that happens to us, in terms of injuries never fucking happen to anyone else. Fucks sake

Non interest bearing personal loan from the owner is a lot f***ing better then interest bearing loan to a bank. Remember that over-draft saga we had? Was a fucking nightmare man.

If were having a real go we'd put Anita and Tiote in front of defense and give Marv & Ben Arfa license to roam and create with Cisse and Ba playing up front with possibly Ba sort of floating creating for himself as well.

I'll be so angry if he's out.

Would really love that.

Agree. The issue here is our right RB and LW are crap. Upgrading that by adding an attacking RB (Debuchy) and finding someone to play on the left side (even if that means adding just a more mobile midfielder on the left side of 3 CM's or Marv on LW or Ba on LW) it instantly makes both sides (assuming Ben Arfa is wide right) more potent.

Proper loving tollemache's posts man. where the fuck did you come from?

Forgot what happened to that deal, why didn't we end up getting him in the end? Obvious money reasons? Or?

Yes, we over here in the states will be up bright and fucking early for this one.

Age? Fatigue? Looks to have put on some muscle? Guess is as good as mine. Just clearly looks like every single year we've had him, he's looked less and less the player we signed. And seriously, just re-watch his Man Utd match the season we signed him. His pace and dribbling looks a shadow of what it used to be.

Wenger? Never will happen though.

Why cant these DL encounters ever be one of us lot on here? Would have been pretty great if I had ran into Dekka at Legends Pub when I was there.

Been banging on about this for ages. Ba was never having issues with the amount of chances when wide left. He just wasn't scoring the chances he had, and he had plenty.

He's generally shouting generally encouraging things to his players, if I recall correctly....

Excellent post Wullie

to his defending but he is shit in attack. And sure his defending was sound, but not like he's putting every single winger in his back pocket to make you say "ah nevermind, he's a rock back there." There are other RBs out there who actually could score, put in a decent cross, have some intelligent overlapping. He's a pretty good defender who isn't THAT good at defending consistently and is poor in attack. He puts in good effort and gets on with the job which I'll always credit him for, but again - there's better out there.

Revisiting my clearly angry and upset post last night with a more clear head...Think I vastly overreacted and hold my hand up on that one. I'm back on the fence. Tired of managerial merry-go-round, tired of the negative press that we get because of it, but I'm also tired of what sort of crap we've been putting out there this campaign. I just want the results to change and starting to not care how, just want it to change.

100% agree.

Was unlucky not to bag 2 goals - 1 good goal-line clearance and 1 post.

Anita - Tiote ----Marv---- That HAS to be our fucking midfield for now. Ben Arfa given license to roam, Ba and Cisse doing w/e the fuck it takes to get goals. Pards playing Jonas for 90 minutes was shocking, and there are times when I go mental at some of his decisions, I thought this one was massive. Marv shone at home then had a shit game like the rest of the lads who travelled to Bordeaux, then was forced to sit the bench whilst Jonas couldn't buy himself a successful pass for nearly all the match.

Officially turned. I want him gone. Respect the man for what he did last season but he's failed his players and us. Even if the Board hung him out to try from a transfer perspective, and he's had some terrible luck with form, injuries etc. but he's the manager, and the table does not lie. He's failed to get the best out these players and he's failing us.

Fuck right off.
