Kanji

I miss those daft kits, smaller Tiote, Nolan, Jonas, big Andy and Hatem.

We absolutely Need Gini in #10 role with Ayoze the main striker or wide right. Moussa inside and Thauvin left.

Glad you're back, mate thanks man, was in a bit of a personal grim one, but feeling better now. Good to be back Glad to hear man!

wot the fuck

Isn't he a #10

Glad you're back, mate

Who cares what position we finished in? fact is the football was s**** and he stunted the growth of various different players. Not sure why this is being brought up anyway, everyone knows how it happened and it's been repeated constantly after the fact. All boring as f*** imo. We finished 16th that season. That's not even going into the fact that Ohh hey, look Europa was tough on our small squad (which we signed a boat load in January) and we didn't improve 5th but finished 6-10th. No we finished 16th and were SAVED by an own goal. FFS that's turbo shit.

Or the classic way they've handled us? They will cruise and slowly pick up speed and score between minute 30-45. If they don't, they'll get moving in half 2 and get a goal between 55-65. Another 5-10 minutes later and ruise control to 90.

If he had any stones to him he would had us finish top 4 the season we finished 5th, he would have had us top 7 the season we nearly got relegated, and he would have done so with a very good squad (that 11/12 squad) and he would have figured out that his team needed to be built around Ba, HBA and Cabaye and figured out how to do that by also not allowing Ba to get disenchanted with playing LW, or Cabaye to go on strike and then come back etc. He royally f***ed the best squad he would ever have and he's very lucky Bolaise, Zaha, Puncheon basically are playing in the forms of their lives b/c we all know Pardew gets regularly turned over YEAR OVER YEAR by better managers. He would have developed the players that were signed for him or gotten huge fees for him for being a good manager capable of developing talent etc. No, no way, he didn't do any of that.

Ya'll are weird

You'd gain more by just quietly sitting in a room looking at paint dry mate.

Really saddened, thoughts and prayers for his family, loved ones, and friends. Man, he just released his book ffs.

"Doesn't care" is the most idiotic way to describe any player tbh. They all care or try, it's a matter of them being either not good enough or not performing to their standards (be it high or low)

Mitro Thauvin Gini Perez Sissoko Anita Mitro CF, Ayoze RW, Thauvin LW, Sissoko box to box and Anita the holder. Try something new ffs.

I'd even try a team that had Perez and Thauvin wide with Gini in #10, Sissoko in some floating box to box role and Anita as the holder with Mitro up top.

Cue someone saying "he doesn't care" too

Thauvin HAS to start wide left from this point on IMO, our lack of balance on the left and the obvious 1 sided attacking is signing our death certificate into the bottom 3 for good

Has the French-African thing going for him but the contract still has a few more years!

he's always generally been a decent tackler, better at sliding, and a decent header of the ball. He's a squad player at best, made to look even worse with our lopsided attack on the right and his footballing skills seemed to have diminish year over year.

He's literally got the worst created chances to score nearly every game

He used to be a ruthless attacker. Hell i recall one match he was literally dragging us up the pitch Ffs

Chelsea v Man Utd is boring on the levels of Newcastle matches.

Agreed.

Maybe the stupid cunt of a manager should stop playing #10 wide left, a counter attacking CM wide right, 2 defensive midfielders and 1 LB who doesn't know how to pass the ball.
