i think anita would get more of a game if pardew wasn't so wary of the full backs getting caught out, as santon was a few times tonight. i still see him as a possibility of a middle three with sissoko and cabaye but only when both anita and sissoko have the strength to really get through a premier league game. What I don't understand is Anita has more than enough pace to recover better than the Mad Destroyer

The inner thought of "okay now laurent...what the heck are you going to do this time?" One moment a low curler far corner/near post top corner or, screw it - just a Robert thunder bastard blast.

This is a top top post man. Exactly how I feel and I'd like to this Pards (who I rate as a man-manager) will be doing tonight, tomorrow and until the next match.

He scored with Everton, he scored with Villa. He's still s***. Last year Cissè wasn't even close to the real one, I'm starting to think this might be not too far from it. That doesn't actually make any sense, considering he's been quality every season apart from this one. So he's FINALLY been found out to be s***? Cisse shit? Go to bed man. Unreal post to slag off one our top players and our no.9.

They were very, very lucky at times. Their keeper made some important stops on our not so good finishing.

He is absolutely lovely on the ball. Excellent passing it with the right weight and everything. He's going to be fucking lush at CB.

Only so many times it can be "unlucky" or a "good save" he was hardly against Buffon tonight but had 2 or 3 chances saved that he could have done better for. Finished the second ruled out brilliantly mind. We are going to need his goals in the league and in Europe, he needs to really start finishing more of the chances he is getting. Keepers surprisingly make saves and forwards don't hit the net with every chance they have. If his 2 goals weren't unfairly ruled out he had a 8-9/10 game tonight. I will completely agree with the two goals ruled out comment because if they weren't I would be licking his bum. That said he has gone many games this season being "unlucky, will he ever score poor lad!?" and as I said eventually you have to question where he is putting the ball. The saves their keeper made weren't at all outstanding, he just stopped shots that were coming at him. Forwards don't score many just smashing them at the keeper, he needs to up his game in terms of where he is putting the ball or it will be the same story. He tried that against Chelsea whilst off ballance (placing the ball into the bottom corner) and got the same abuse I agree, he's certainly not striking the ball like he can (no way those goals last season were all luck, he has genuine talent), it's just annoying that it's gotten to the point where every miss or offside is scrutinised even when he's starting to play well, especially in a game where he actually scored twice. 100% agree with this man.

How did Cisse not score that either? Luck was fucking not on our side.

fuck off refs. fuck off luck. fuck off. im so angry right now.

feel like my blood is boiling right now.

SHAMBOLIC Reffing. Absolute disgrace man.

Proper pissed off right now. We'll score and win this match. Justice will prevail for us.

FUCK OFF REF SERIOUSLY. BOTH OF THEM. That was a brilliant cross and a CLASSIC Cisse finish.

NO

Was that a good save? Looked like it real time.

What the fuck tackle was that man?

The bastard tried to bend it with pace too. Love him!

Mbiwa played some real great passes into channels as well as that flick to Sissoko.

Decent half, we should have at least 1 goal in by now. Keep building upon it, hopefully an early goal will result in them falling apart and we batter them. Everyone is putting in a shift. We just haven't been taking the chances with enough vigor in the box.

Prefer we be 1-0 like we should though.

what did I say - hes fucking slick man, MYM.

Mapou is pretty fucking slick on the ball man, his passing has been great too

this linesman is fucking terrible
