The College Dropout

Aye that Maher lad is a player....

What's likeable about AVB? Do wish we had our own Daniel Levy.

Look at balotelli.... holding the ball up.... how dare he....

His passing is shit.

It's not a forum thing either. Carragher and Neville both mentioned how bad he was.

There's the lad that got sent off. The scarecrow up front. And Debuchy.

Nah debuchy was a stand out for being so bad.

Honestly the best we can without Cabaye and no signings is Anita-Sissoko-Marveaux. Its not ideal but it will do. Nah Anita can't compete physically in this division. Unless Bigi can make the step up, I'm really not optimistic about the midfield Problem is Tiote is crap and offers nothing offensively and defensively. Anita at least offers something to the team in possession. As I said not ideal but it will do. What does Anita offer? He plays the same passes Tiote does. Siss offers something with his running in midfield but that's it. Crap passing.

Tbf, most teams need a lad that can do something with a chipped ball up to their chest. Welbeck Dzeko Giroud Torres (sometimes) Lukaku Even RVP, Aguero, Rooney etc. aren't weak as piss and can make the ball stick.

Nah, when you're down to 10 men against superior opposition, you just hope to relieve as much pressure as possible. You keep the lad most capable of moving the team up for a bit. With 10 men you need everyone to contribute.. Cisse offers nothing whatsoever outside the box.

Didn't understand that at all. He had the least hype of all the French lads but along with Mapou I think he has the most potential to be a hit here.

He's just fat,

He, Siss, Tiote will be a nightmare.

It's disgusting. Neither are very good at passing.

watching Tiote-Sissoko in midfield was harsh man. We need a passer/creator in there STAT.

Looked very decent at CB tbh

Agreed.

What? Plenty have great technical ability. The only thing I agree with is players like Mikel & Essien have been forced to play as DM's a lot of their career due to a level of stigma. Both are great technically though.

Pardew said he would be more positive against West Ham with the selection. If Marv doesn't start it's over for him here.

No it won't Tiote and Sissoko are both the type of midfielders who look for someone else to make something happen. Same with Anita.

He was alright I suppose

He's continuously been tripe man.

the way he's always similing pisses me off too. Like most in this squad he can only show anger through petulance rather than a silly yellow card offence. There's just petulance and daft planks like Saylor
