Kanj

To be fair he's made loads of tackles and interceptions today

He's shocking and I don't really ever foresee him getting back to form here under this manager or even this league.

Well said pedro mate.

Drop Cisse, play Gouffran in his position leave midfield same unless Cabaye is out and place Marv there. I don't want to happily think about our defense right now.

I knew exactly what I was saying with that. It's like pure reluctance/stuck with type statement

I'd happily play MYM at RB and slot Saylor in at CB to bench Debuchy and keep Santon LB, and I'm not even happy with that tbh

Disappointed in him today.

Shit performance. Fucking shocking defending. Refing has been shit too. We lost our way when we decided to go 4-4 fucking 2. Stupid. Remy played great. Ahhhh Newcastle United....fucking hell come on.

Get Cisse off go back to 4-3-3 with Marv in Cabaye's role

Hatem?

Fucking Cisse

I like this sub

Cisse off for Gouff please. He's useless today. Hatem needs to switch the fuck on as well.

I expect they'll try and close down Remy more in the 2nd half to which Hatem is going to have more time to cause some havoc.

He's a complete player - pace, dribble, strength and instinctive finisher.

Remy is a special talent - he's absolutely one of our best players. Its very clear very quickly.

We're just clearly not creating chances for him, and when he has had chances he's made some baffling decisions/snatched at shots...the quality is all there though, we know that. Hopefully this 4-3-3 will see the best of him again.

Was nothing really, they were going over Ben Arfa's goals/assist against Villa and Fulham and basically said the same thing as Hansen, i.e. show him down the outside. He'll go outside, and cross like he did when nobody was there to finish and Anita did well to earn us a corner off of it - or he'll go outside and when the defenders are playing catch-up/slide, he'll just cut it back to his left foot and go back inside. Analysts think its easy or something to do that - he'll just twist and turn his way around you and make you look even more foolish. On his day he's unplayable.

Play the unchanged side, should win by 2 goals. This would should literally be all about playing our game, mastering the 4-3-3 and taking it the opposition.

That Ben Arfa out wide with space roar, "go-on" is magic man. I love that he acknowledges this ("go-go-go" from the weekend) and appreciates it.

Sure, but he put in a great performance after coming in vs Fulham and again this past weekend. Put in the performances while he's here and if he wants away again and gets sold so be it. Can only really be arsed about results, and we are better when he's in the role he was at vs. Villa.

He looked far more comfortable being pushed up to be honest. Which I've always felt his close control near the box would be lacking; but it lets Sissoko and Anita be better at their roles as central midfielders in holding/box2box. For me, if we need to take Cabaye off or he's unavailable for selection, his direct repalcement should be Marv and our system shouldn't change. He'll get some of his long range shots going now that he's further up and I do like that he's not wasting energy trying to tackle or run around and concentrating the majority of his game using his creativity and passing.

didn't know they had a site for that topic. And didn't think he had blacked them out.

Flip you having a bad day man? You're never this negative man!
